Robert Jobson, a biographer of Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh, told Daily Mail that the trailer was packed with 'over the top, melodramatic nonsense'. "The Queen and the Royal Family are not the Corleone family of Windsor. There are no hit men or heavies going around silencing people. Meghan, whilst a working royal, was always protected by a team of Scotland Yard officers. Thankfully, she was never in danger physically and Harry knows that. Talk of being "silenced" is just ridiculous. It suits a narrative, I suppose, but at what cost to the Queen, Prince Philip and the Royal Family and our reputation as a country'."

Another royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline: "An extra 30 minutes could be scary for the Palace. Was this because Harry and Meghan were angry at having their patronages removed or had it always been planned? The interview with Oprah will determine their future relations with the royal family for the foreseeable future".
