That many people are watching 'Harry and Meghan'?

Provided it leads to younger geenrations turning their backs on the legitimacy of royal families, that's fine with me.

It makes me laugh how people are surprised there’s interest in a Harry and Megan documentary. People are obsessed with them. Every people who absolutely hate them. The documentary was always going to do massive numbers.

While I am certain there are people obsessed with them I have to admit it baffles me there are so many.

There’s a lot of the right wing media in the Uk have absolutely riled up hatred against them. To an obsessive degree. There’s some people who seem to make hating the pair a core part of their personality. I think it’s an extension of British adoration of the royal family. But look at the anger over Clarksons latest rant against Megan. He stepped over a line but the reality is the likes of the Daily Mail love straddling the line daily.

There’s also a lot of people who like celebrity drama, and it doesn’t get much more dramatic than genuine royalty throwing barbs at each other in public.

The Crown humanized the royal family. The Harry & Meghan doc is receiving the same interest as other royal content on Netflix. It's not going to turn people off the monarchy imo.

No one but crazyz think any royal family's are anything but human petting zoo animals.

I don’t think the takeaway from this is going to be about the royal family but rather that Harry and Meghan suck.

I find it hilarious that Reddit is all up in arms about constitutional monarchies (but weirdly only about the British one) while stanning their favorite corporations and geopolitical bad actors. Just lol

How many people actually "stan" them? I can tell you that I won't spend a single solitary second watching this show or even watching a trailer for it. The only interest I have in them, and I think the same for many others, is the absolute bizarre level of hatred that some have for them, and Meghan in particular. Jeremy Clarkson demonstrated that recently when he decided to write about how he has a level of hatred toward her that's even greater than his level of hatred toward a notorious serial killer (Rose West).

I don't know what weird reddit you go to, but nobody here likes anybody. Every corporation except for Costco is hated, and every political figure is also hated. The only exceptions are American republicans but that's because they're closer to a cult than an organization.

Just finished the Harry and Megan reality show. Im really looking forward to next installment which will center around the upcoming failure of their marriage and their subsequent and ugly divorce.

That should come out sometime after Harry grows/wakes up and realizes that he got played - she stole the Crown Jewels

She is far richer than Harry, you idiot. If there's a gold digger in this marriage, it is him.
