Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released their new Netflix series in a bid to "launch products" and land "brand deals", claims a Hollywood PR expert.
Three episodes of the bombshell six-part series, which reportedly earned them $107million (£88m), landed on the streaming platform earlier today.
The explosive episodes show several interviews as the former working royal family members detail their life since meeting in 2016.
Many bombshell claims have been made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they share "the other side of their high-profile love story".
But now a US celebrity PR expert tells The Mirror the pair filmed the series "so they can launch successful products and streaming projects later on".
Giving his reaction on the newly-dropped documentary, expert Jordan McAuley reckons it "doesn't really matter what they say" throughout the programme.
He told The Mirror: "The most important thing for Meghan and Harry right now is keeping their faces in front of audiences so they can launch successful products, brand deals, and streaming projects later on.
"What better way to get (and keep) their faces in people's living rooms than Netflix?"
Speaking of the reaction to the first episodes, Jordan said: "Their demographic already has a positive association with Netflix, which will carry over onto Meghan and Harry."
The Mirror has contacted the Duke and Duchess' representatives for a comment.
It comes after a body language expert claimed Meghan's "mock curtsy" as she recalled meeting the Queen prompted a "cut-off" gesture from an uncomfortable Harry.
In the first episode, Meghan said: "There wasn’t like some big moment of ‘Now you’re going to meet my grandmother’. I didn’t know I was going to meet her until moments before.
"We were in the car and we were going to Royal Lodge for lunch, and he’s like ‘Oh, my grandmother’s here, we’re going to meet her after church'.
"And I remember we were in the car driving up and he’s like ‘You know how to curtsy, right?’ And I just thought it was a joke."
Meghan performed an awkward and exaggerated curtsy and giggled as she said: "Pleasure to meet you Your Majesty" while the camera shows Harry.
According to body language Judi James, the whole scene leaves Harry suggesting his "discomfort" as he performs one telling "cut off" gesture.
She told the Mirror: "Her joke is self-effacing as she speaks about her curtesy when she first met the late Queen. Her smile becomes asymmetric, pulling up on one side to register a shared joke.
"Harry, however, is already watching her carefully, turning to gaze at the side of her face with his own facial expression looking less turned to 'fun' than hers.
"Meghan does an extravagant mock-curtsey that does, as she says, look Medieval.
"It takes her eight seconds to perform, making it a long joke but there is no change in Harry’s more serious facial expression until the end, when he lets out a small, mirthless laugh.
"As Meghan mentions ‘Your Majesty’, the direct reference to the late Queen, it does seem a small step too far for Harry who quickly drops his head down to perform a cut-off ritual that partially hides his face, suggesting some discomfort at this point."
