American broadcast news networks had seemed to harbor some sympathy for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but now with the final installment of the couple’s Netflix series airing the ground appears to be shifting. The criticism from American news anchors and pundits has been led by Fox News columnist Lee Cohen who has suggested Meghan and Harry are on track to be more hated than the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson.

Cohen said they were on track to become “the most hated royals” ever and that Harry was following in the footsteps of “the reviled” Duke of Windsor.

“Like the Windsors before them, the Sussexes have fallen out of favor in Britain for their indecorous behavior.

“But while the Duke of Windsor let his people down by being irresponsible, he and his wife did not seek the spotlight in any meaningful way. Nor did they exist, as the Sussexes seem to, hell-bent to destroy the monarchy.”

Rodlyn-mae Banting from the US-based celebrity outlet Jazabel said: “Somehow, the show—which has had little new to say up until this point—managed to eek out another three glacially slow episodes.

“Doubting the cruelty that Harry and Meghan suffered during their time together as members of the royal family—which only worsened once they left—is the wrong takeaway from this story.

“But when they recount these emotional moments of terror and grief, it’s eclipsed by how much Harry and Meghan make a spectacle of their own story. 

“In the midst of their own retelling, they can’t seem to help but make caricatures of themselves, steeped in a sort of narcissism only those who’ve been trained to exist in front of a lens [Harry because of his royalty, Meghan because of her profession] can embody.

“I sincerely hope that the worst of their storm is over, and that Harry, Meghan, their kids, and their loved ones can all live out their boring lives unbothered.And I also sincerely hope that this is the last I hear of any of it.”

Meanwhile, NBC’s McAndrew, reporting from outside Buckingham Palace, said: “I kept thinking, what would William and Kate think about these constant revelations and accusations? 

“It’s very often when you have a family row, if you want to try to patch it up, you’ll take some responsibility.

“There was nothing of that from Harry and Meghan from how perhaps they might take a little responsibility of how things have gone wrong.

“There can be very little coming back. All these accusations about William behaving badly, William shouting and screaming, William being unkind to his brother.”

In the latest episode to drop Prince Harry recalled a shouting match with his brother during a tense meeting in Sandringham over the Sussexes’ royal plans.

Prince Harry says in episode 5 of the Netflix documentary that William “shouted” at him during the family sit down.

He says: “It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that simply weren’t true.”

“And my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there and sort of take it all in.”
