Netflix Trailer Removed from YouTube After Unauthorized Filming Inside Buckingham Palace
A controversy has erupted after it was alleged that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were photographed inside Buckingham Palace without the late Queen's consent.
Reports suggest that the couple may be forced to remove their Netflix trailer from YouTube, as the photo taken inside the Queen's residence was used for commercial purposes.
The question arises: do you agree with this opinion?
It is important to note that Queen Elizabeth II is still alive, and royal aides have confirmed that no one granted permission for the couple to take photos or videos inside the palace.
Sussex is now being accused of bringing a photographer into the palace without Queen Elizabeth II's authorization.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are facing criticism for allowing a private photographer into the palace without seeking prior permission.
Earlier this week, the couple released a one-minute-long trailer promoting their new documentary.
The trailer includes photos and brief snippets of interviews with Harry and Meghan, black-and-white images of Prince William and Kate, and the Sussexes' final public appearance as senior working royals.
Behind-the-scenes images from their wedding, holidays, and their UK residence, Frogmore Cottage, also feature in the clip.
The controversy arose when a behind-the-scenes image was shown in the Netflix trailer for the couple's new documentary.
The image appears to have been taken inside Buckingham Palace, showing the couple walking out of the garden entrance.
The presence of the photographer raised concerns, as the couple had not sought permission to film inside the Queen's home.
Although the Sussexes are believed to be unaware of the warning, the photographer was not asked to leave.
In normal circumstances, a memo would have been sent to the late Queen, seeking her approval, given the strict protocol surrounding filming and photography inside the palace.
The photograph seems to have been taken in March 2020 when the couple returned to the UK before stepping down from their roles as working royals.
Meghan was spotted on March 5th, 2020, leaving the Goring Hotel in London, wearing an Alex Eagle camel wrap coat and carrying a Lowell black leather bag.
According to the regulations set by the Royal Collection Trust, photography or filming is strictly prohibited inside state rooms at Buckingham Palace.
Additionally, any filming or photography for commercial purposes, aimed at generating income from a market audience, requires permission.
Harry and Meghan have reportedly signed deals with Netflix worth over $100 million, raising further concerns about unauthorized filming.
This is not the first time that the couple's upcoming docu-series, scheduled for release on December 8th, has caused controversy.
During the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, multiple reports emerged that Netflix crew had been denied permission to film the couple during official royal events.
It remains to be seen how many more intimate photos from the couple's private life will be revealed in the docu-series.
As viewers eagerly await the release of the series, it is expected that there will be ample content.
Royal commentator Omid Scobie has tweeted that the series will consist of six episodes.
The public will have to wait for Netflix to drop the docu-series to discover the extent of the couple's private life before and after their departure from royal duties.
