US journalist Megyn Kelly has blasted the Sussexes’ trailer for their upcoming bombshell Netflix documentary.
Titled Harry & Meghan, the 59-second clip showed a series of never-before-seen photos and videos, interspersed with snippets of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle talking.
The former Suits actor is seen sobbing in the teaser.In a black-and-white snap, she can be seen sitting cross-legged in an armchair with her phone, holding her head in her hand.
During her podcast The Megyn KellyShow, the former Fox News presenter reacted to the short video, slamming the Duchess’ breakdown photos.
“I have never taken a photo of myself crying and certainly never released it to the public saying ‘please feel sorry for me’,” Kelly said.
Outspoken broadcaster Piers Morgan ripped into the dramatic teaser, saying it made him want to “puke”.
“It was so ghastly, so repugnant, so dripping in sanctimony and fake hammy ‘woe-is-us’ acting, that I felt my intestines physically recoil in abject disgust,” the Sky News host wrote in his column.
Meghan’s estranged half-sister Samantha also criticised the sneak preview, calling it “atrocious” and “disconnected from reality”.
“The touchy feely Netflix clip was like a really bad Slice of Life commercial,” she told Dan Wootton Tonight.

“When you contrast it with what’s going on in reality, it makes no sense whatsoever.
It was also suggested that the pair wanted to edit the docuseries in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September, as it was believed to include a number of truth bombs involving King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton.
