Experts Weigh In On Royal Family's Possible Reaction To Harry-Meghan Netflix Series

Royal experts weighed in on the royal family's potential reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix docuseries.

"Harry & Meghan" Vol. I debuted last week with its first three episodes. Netflix dropped Vol. II with three more episodes Thursday. The second part covers the Sussexes' relationship with the royal family, and things are not that well between them.

American journalist and author Christopher Andersen and royal commentator Jonathan Sacerdoti shared their thoughts on how the royals probably feel about the much-talked docuseries featuring Prince Harry and Markle. The "King: The Life of Charles III" author believed they were in a "rage."

"I mean, look again, Harry talks about — almost matter-of-factly talks about — how his brother was shouting and screaming at him during this meeting [with Queen Elizabeth II]. Terror and terrorizing, I think was the phrase used," Andersen told Us Weekly Thursday, referencing an episode where Prince Harry described the "terrifying" screaming incident with his brother Prince William and his dad allegedly saying things that were not true.

"William has a tremendous temper. Charles has a tremendous temper. It's just not gonna be a pretty sight there," Andersen continued.

He added that "there's more to come" because Prince Harry's memoir "Spare" will be out next year. He also isn't sure if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend King Charles' upcoming coronation, considering their current predicament.

"They're going a long way to really severing all ties with the royals, I think," the author of "Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan" added. "You wouldn't blame the royal family, especially the new king, [for] being furious at the kind of disruption this is all causing."

Meanwhile, Sacerdoti, whose royal coverage has been featured extensively worldwide and regularly appears on Fox News, E! Channel and Us Weekly, believed that the royal family would be business as usual rather than feed on the drama from the docuseries.

"I think the royal family wants to get on with doing what it does," he told Us Weekly. "I think that maybe they had hoped that when Meghan and Harry left the U.K., it wouldn't just be a relief for them — it would be a relief for the family, and they could all get on with doing the things they wanted."

However, he criticized the Sussexes for still holding on to the things that happened in the palace nearly three years after they left. He felt that Prince Harry and Markle are attacking the royals.

"They'd made that valid decision that they didn't wanna be part of it, but that just hasn't happened. It's the opposite," he said. "They keep raking over all of this stuff, and they keep bringing it back up again. It seems a bit like they have a vendetta against the family, and I think the last three episodes gave something of a justification for why they feel that's OK, [and] why they've got that vendetta, but it doesn't really hide the fact that they have and that they're making these constant attacks."

Sacerdoti clarified that he could not speak on behalf of King Charles and Prince William or other senior members, but he believed that they would "try hard to carry on" and "wait for the next grenade to be lobbed."

Prince Harry's "Spare" will hit shelves on Jan. 10, 2023.

All six episodes of "Harry & Meghan" are currently streaming on Netflix.
