Speaking to the Express, Dampier said: “If King Charles wants to leave a door open to Harry and Meghan or invite them to his coronation that’s up to him.

“But don’t be surprised if they get a hostile reception from the public.”

The first installment of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary sparked a mixed reaction online.

Some defended the couple and others hit out.

Piers Morgan was one of those who hit out, as he branded the show “disgusting”.

He tweeted on Thursday: “This is worse than Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Something I didn’t think was humanly possible. #HarryandMeghanonNetflix.”

He also said: “Disgusting how they’re repeatedly trying to brand Britain a racist country.

But don’t be surprised if they get a hostile reception from the public.

“Most tolerant place in Europe, as all the coverage of their engagement/wedding showed.”

Meanwhile, a royal commentator has shared his thoughts on what the royals may think of the show.
