‘It in reality is appalling.’
Some royal fans and close confidants have voiced their shock at the use of a “stern” picture of Catherine, Princess of Wales in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming Netflix documentary.
Released on Friday, the minute-long trailer teases what may be in keep from the six-part series, to drop subsequent week.
Friends of Prince William and Catherine are reportedly “sickened” by using it.
“I used to be appalled when I watched this trailer, frankly, It’s everything we feared,” royal professional Richard Eden told Mail+.
Eden spoke with pals of the royal couple following the release of the trailer, and said they are “frankly sickened” by its contents.
“The use of William and Catherine and the photograph and the way it’s presented, my goodness,” he explained.
The documentary indicates a image of Meghan in tears clutching a cellphone before the sound of glass shattering plays as it pans to Kate sending a ‘stern’ seem towards the camera.
The picture was taken for the duration of the Commonwealth Day provider in 2019, with Prince Harry and Meghan seen seated at the back of the Prince and Princess of Wales in the photo.
Over the picture is a voiceover from Harry who says, “No one sees what takes place at the back of closed doors”.
Eden continued: “You see Meghan with her head in her hands and distraught and then it pans right away to a stony-faced stern picture of Catherine at Westminister Abbey at that Commonwealth Day provider in 2019.”
He addressed reviews at the time that William and Kate “refused to even make eye contact” with the Sussexes and this led to “disappointment”.
“The friends of William and Catherine point out (about the image used), they appear to have long gone to magnificent lengths to find the one unflattering photograph of Catherine for this trailer,” he added.
“The timing of this trailer may want to rarely be worse.”
Eden pointed to the truth that its launch came as Kate and William embarked on a visit to the US, their first in eight years.
“It’s a deliberate attempt to upstage them, and the use of their photographs in it absolutely rams that factor home,” he said.
“This documentary series is intended to be about Harry and Meghan, and yet they’re providing William and Catherine in the one-minute trailer. It without a doubt is appalling.”
Along with Eden, others on Twitter agreed with the pointless addition of Kate in the trailer.
“@netflix you don’t suppose the cause Kate and William seem so stern in your trailer is a result of Harry and Meghan’s horrendous and disloyal behaviour?” one fan had the opinion.
“Super manipulative! Adding a stern-looking William and Kate image in,” every other said.
“The sound of glass breaking as it cuts from Meghan Markle crying to Kate and William staring at the digital camera at Commonwealth Day in 2019. Clearly, there are bombshells coming,” a third suggested.
The docu-series Harry and Meghan is set for release on Netflix on Thursday, December eight.
