Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's fans were treated with the first trailer of their anticipated Netflix docuseries Thursday. However, the timing raised eyebrows as the teaser was released a day before Prince William and Kate Middleton's huge event in Boston, prompting some to speculate that the Sussexes were attempting to steal the limelight from the Cambridges.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Made Vulgar Attempt To Steal Prince William And Kate Middleton's Thunder?

The netizens have mixed opinions about the timing of the Harry & Meghan trailer. It was dropped while the Prince and Princess of Wales were in Boston and a day before the second Earthshot Prize ceremony.

"Unleashing this promotional clip for the documentary just when the Prince and Princess of Wales are on a landmark visit to the United States looks like a vulgar attempt to steal the limelight," a commentary from Express read.

The future king and queen consort champion the Earthshot Prize to reward brilliant minds fighting to protect the environment. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have mastered the art of using the monarchy to highlight unsung heroes and special causes that need world attention.

"In sad contrast, Harry and Meghan appear to have an insatiable appetite for self-publicity. This exhibitionism – and their apparent absence of any concern for how their words may hurt others – would appal the late Queen Elizabeth II," the statement continued.

The commentary also noted that Prince Harry and Markle "seem more interested in pursuing commercial deals than reconciliation with the family." There are speculations that their docuseries and Prince Harry's memoir will only worsen their already strained relationship with the royal family.

"Since abandoning a unique opportunity to help others as working royals, they have focused their formidable energies on curating their public image. There is a limited appetite for such narcissism and peddling of grievance."

Omid Scobie Slammed For His Tweet Seemingly Pitting The Waleses And Sussexes

Omid Scobie, co-author of the unauthorized biography about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Finding Freedom, tweeted about the trailer. However, he seemingly sparked the rivalry between the two royal couples.

"If tomorrow is Prince William's Super Bowl, then here's your Halftime Show..." he tweeted while sharing the trailer. "@Netflix have released a first look at the Sussexes' docuseries: Harry & Meghan. Out December 8, six episodes will share "the other side" of their love story and the challenges they faced."

Several netizens reacted and disapproved of Scobie's post, especially because it is not a secret that the two families have been strained.

"Wow what a cruel comment @scobie. Yes let's cheer on the break up of a family. Yay! Two brothers that were there for each other through think and thin, are pitted against one another. Humanity at it's best!" one commented.

"The way you lust after the two of them is just sickening. You've just confirmed their cruel behaviour and they have released the trailer to remove the media attention from William and Catherine's coverage. They are just very bitter and nasty," another added.

"To be fair, it's just shown the world how utterly jealous and spiteful they really are. They would have got [sic] far more respect and maybe positive reception if they didn't do it to overshadow the Boston tour. Everyone's saying the same…DESPERATE," a third person added.

What do you think about the timing of the trailer? Does it have something to do with Prince William and Kate Middleton's visit to Boston?
