Speaking to The Sun, royal author Tom Bower said he believes Harry and Meghan made their explosive new docuseries “for the money”.
“They keep complaining about media intrusion, and yet keep opening themselves up to it,” Tom said.
“They always blame the media, but the media they are blaming is the same media they went and seduced with the likes of Oprah and magazines, and now Netflix.
“I think it’s for money. The whole point is they think they should be paid by the media for reporting on them. They want money for interviews and for appearances.
“Meghan wants to profit from being a celebrity, like how she was brought up. She could never understand how royal ‘celebs’ were not paid.
“They feel they should be profiting from their royal celebrity status. Previously, they were not paid.”

Pollster James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners, said: “Harry and Meghan have exhausted the patience of the British public — across all but the very youngest adults, and in every part of the United Kingdom.
“It is little wonder that a country which saw thousands queue for hours to pay their respects to the Queen has turned against them in this way — but this poll is proof that the public no longer think the couple are fit to hold the titles befitting the royal family.”
