Gayle King’s Support for Meghan Markle’s Netflix Docuseries Sparks Controversy

In a surprising turn of events, Gayle King's endorsement of Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix docuseries has sparked a heated debate.

The popular talk show host, known for her close friendship with Oprah Winfrey, expressed her excitement for the project during an episode of Watch What Happens Live.

However, this endorsement has not been well-received by everyone, and there are concerns that it could have unintended consequences for both Meghan and Harry.

The backlash against the docuseries has been growing, with critics questioning its authenticity and labeling it as nothing more than a reality show.

If this backlash continues to gain momentum, there is a possibility that YouTube may remove the trailer video and even ban Meghan and Harry from its platform.

This would be a significant blow to the couple, as YouTube is a major platform for reaching their audience.

Gayle King's support for the docuseries has only added fuel to the fire.

During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she quickly corrected host Andy Cohen when he referred to the project as a reality show.

“It's not a reality show,” King emphasized.

As someone who knows Meghan and Harry through her friendship with Oprah, King is well-aware of the challenges they have faced as members of the royal family.

Following Queen Elizabeth II's passing, King expressed optimism that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would be able to reconcile with the rest of the royal family.

“There have been efforts on both sides to sort of make this right,” she said.

However, she also acknowledged that it remains to be seen whether the divide between the couple and the royals can ever be fully repaired.

“Are they going to be drawn closer together or are they going to be drawn apart?

I have no idea,” King admitted.

Despite the controversy surrounding the docuseries, Meghan and Harry are determined to share their story with the world.

The full trailer for the Netflix project has been released, and the series is set to premiere soon.

In her Variety Power of Women cover, Meghan expressed her trust in the director and her excitement about the creative process.

“It's nice to be able to trust someone with our story,” she said.

The couple's deal with Netflix, signed in September 2020, includes a wide range of content, from documentaries to scripted shows.

However, it was previously reported that the royal family would not be featured in Meghan and Harry's series.

Queen Elizabeth II, in particular, has taken precautions to avoid being associated with the docuseries during her public appearances.

The first three episodes of the six-part series have already been released, focusing on the media scrutiny and pressure the couple faced throughout their time as royals.

It remains to be seen how the rest of the series will be received by audiences.

As the controversy surrounding Meghan and Harry's Netflix docuseries continues to unfold, opinions remain divided.

While some see it as an opportunity for the couple to share their side of the story, others view it as a mere reality show.

Regardless, the series is set to make a significant impact in the world of entertainment, and all eyes will be on Meghan and Harry as they navigate this new chapter of their lives.
