Harry and Meghan torched in explosive Channel 5 Doc - 'they have no talent'

Prince Harry has been hit with a wave of criticism in the Channel 5 documentary Prince Harry: My Terrible Year, with royal experts savaging both his behaviour and his struggling media ventures. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward accused Harry of crossing the line when it came to Princess Kate, telling viewers: "He rubbished Kate for money he didn't even need - that will not be easily forgiven." The remark referred to claims Harry has made in recent years, which some insiders say have worsened family tensions.

Another royal expert delivered an equally brutal assessment of Harry andMeghan's career shift since stepping back from royal duties, skewering their lack of star power outside the monarchy. "They believe they're really talented but when it comes down to it they're not. One's an actress, one's a royal. That's it," the commentator said. They went on to highlight Harry's Netflix polo documentary as a major misstep.

"His Polo documentary didn't perform well and that was a knock. He thought they were interested in him at the start but it turns out they were only interested in his revelations.

"He's trying to find freedom and it keeps falling flat - it's very difficult for him."

The polo series, intended to give an insider's look at Harry's beloved sport, was torn apart by critics.

Outlets including The Guardian and Decider branded it "boring," "tedious" and "a dull indulgence," with some reviewers questioning why it was made at all. Viewership numbers reportedly fell far short of expectations, dealing a blow to the couple's $100 million Netflix deal.

Their other big Netflix project this year - Meghan's lifestyle series With Love, Meghan - fared not much better. The cooking and entertaining show landed at just #383 in Netflix's global charts with 5.3 million views, according to official figures.

Reviews were savage: The Guardian dismissed it as vacuous fluff, Variety called it "an ego trip not worth taking," and The Economist said it was "out of touch with the times."

The Channel 5 documentary didn't just focus on the Sussexes' media ventures - it also explored Harry's strained family ties, his absence from key royal events, and his diminishing public favour in the UK.

Psychologists and historians weighed in on how his approach to public life is alienating him from both the royal family and the British public.

Since its debut three years ago, Harry and Meghan's media brand has relied heavily on their personal story.

But with repeated criticism that they have no hit content beyond royal revelations, experts warn that their transition from palace to production may be faltering.
