Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's controversial Netflix docuseries may not have been "what they were hoping for", a PR expert has claimed.
The series, titled Harry & Meghan, dropped on the streaming platform in December and saw them level a series of allegations about the Firm and their time as working royals.
Harry claimed that Prince William left him terrified after screaming and shouting during the Sandringham summit and also accused his dad King Charles of lying.
Meghan recounted her tense first meeting with the Princess of Wales and revealed how she chose not to wear colour during royal engagements so she could blend in.

The series came after they also aired a string of grievances against the royals in their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
Meanwhile, earlier this month it was revealed that two key players would be leaving Harry and Meghan's Archewell foundation.
They are Fara Taylor, who is head of the Archewell Productions marketing team, and internal content head Ben Browning. Both worked on the Netflix docuseries and neither is being replaced.

And according to US-based PR expert Brenner Thomas, this staff shake-up hints at how Harry and Meghan viewed the success of these projects.
He told the Sunday Times: "I think Harry and Meghan feel that the way they were portrayed is not what they were hoping for."
Meanwhile, the founder of PR firm The Lead PR added the royal couple should only have recounted their experiences in the UK once.
He explained: "If you're someone privileged, as both of them are, you have to do it with a bit of a wink.

"The real issue is that Americans don’t like their royals acting like reality TV stars."
Ashley Hansen, Archewell's head of communication, previously told the Telegraph that both Fara Taylor and Ben Browning "exceeded expectations and made their mark within the cultural zeitgeist".
She said Harry and Meghan were "hugely grateful" for their support on the "vital look-back projects" that they have recently released.
It comes several weeks after it was announced that Mandana Dayani would be leaving her post as president of Archewell.
It is understood the couple will take on full leadership of the company, and a statement from Archewell at the time was at pains to make clear they had not fallen out.
Ms Dayani, 40, had been at the helm of the couple's media and charitable empire for less than 18 months.
She ran the day-to-day operations at the company and played an integral role in setting up Meghan's Spotify podcast Archetypes.
