Viewers are divided after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s documentary airs

Do you feel sorry for the couple?

| Updated:

After they spoke about the immense pressure they are facing living their life in the public eye, should we feel sorry for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?

Opening up in their ITV documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Adventure, the prince spoke about the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

“I will not be bullied into playing a game that killed my mother,” he told the cameras.

Meghan, meanwhile, opened up about her own struggles, admitting that she wasn’t “okay” and revealing that she had tried to develop a British “stiff upper lip” when it came to dealing with negative stories in the press.

But what do you think?

Have the couple courted this attention?

Or are they just a young couple who are deeply in love and are doing all they can to enjoy life as new parents to baby Archie?

Twitter is divided.

“Meghan was seen as trouble from a million miles away; shame Harry is thinking with something other than his brain. The sooner that gold-digging chancer is out of here the better. She’s nowhere near royal standard at all,” one social media user said.

Others sided with Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan, after a debate on the breakfast TV show the following morning.

Meghan is incredible. No-one deserves this level of hate. She hasn’t killed anyone. She hasn’t harmed anyone. If you don’t like her, don’t look at what she’s doing.

Others called the duchess a “climber”, praised her acting skills and said she had “changed Harry for the worse”.

However, for every member of the public who had something negative to say about the couple, there were many who emphasised with them and said we should give them both a break.

Others said they were watching the documentary in tears.

Others were full of praise for Meghan’s grace, poise and honesty.

While some said the love that the couple share is “so evident”.
