Zoe Ball has reacted to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s explosive trailer for their highly anticipated upcoming Netflix documentary series.
The Radio 2 host was left audibly taken aback as she played a clip of the trailer, which has been met with a divisive response, with many criticising the timing of its release amid Prince William and Kate’s US tour.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have been subjected to a mixed reception during their tour of Boston following the social media frenzy at the Netflix docu-series.
Zoe Ball, 52, reacted to the anticipation on her self-titled Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, briefly sharing her views on a short clip from the trailer.
Zoe drew back a breath, as she said: “My goodness me. The 59 second trailer has pictures and videos of them both that we have never seen before.
“One of Meghan crying. One of them dancing. Whatever you think I'm sure you will all be watching.”
Zoe added: “The rumours are that it might be shown next Thursday (December 8) but there is no official release on that. But we will keep you updated.”
The teaser for the upcoming Netflix series shows never-before-seen photos of Prince Harry and Meghan, who are parents to Archie and Lilbet, as well as snaps from their childhoods.
"Harry & Meghan. A Netflix Global Event. Coming soon, only on Netflix," the streaming giant captioned the trailer shared on Twitter this week.
In the trailer, the couple are heard being asked: “Why did you want to make this documentary?” to which Harry replies: “No one sees what's happening behind closed doors.”
He adds: “I had to do everything I could to protect my family,” before Meghan is seen appearing to wipe away tears.
Meghan remarks: “When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?”
This comes as the Sussexes have been labelled ‘hypocrites’ for sharing Netflix footage taken near the late Queen's private apartments at Buckingham Palace.
While members of the public may be familiar with certain areas of the palace, the Queen and other royals' private apartments were completely off-limits, with barely any snaps being shared by the Royal Household.
However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been blasted for filming during a trip to the United Kingdom – two years after announcing they would be moving overseas.
In the official trailer for their explosive Netflix documentary which airs on December 8, the pair can be seen walking towards a set of doors with two footmen preparing to open them.
On each side of the room, two chairs sit opposite one another with initials etched into them, signalling that they are the property of a monarch, while a box with ‘Her Majesty’ emblazoned on it sits on the windowsill.
However, many have noticed that the scene was filmed on the North Side of the palace, directly below the Queen's private apartments and is only used by the late Sovereign and members of the family.
