A PR expert says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s hit Netflix documentary was a success because it gave people an insight into why they left the royal family.
Talk with The Express, PR expert Edward Coram-James said he believed the public interest was mainly in the drama surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal exit.
And that kind of story can only be told once, he noted, hinting at why Meghan’s series With love, Meghan, failed to capture similar views.
According to Coram-James, once the story of the monarchy’s exit is told, it is difficult to maintain the same level of public interest.
He said: “The success of the Harry & Meghan documentary relies on a limited resource: the public’s insatiable curiosity about their decision to leave the royal family and the drama surrounding it.
“It was a one-off and explosive event,” added the expert.
“They lifted the veil on the monarchy, and it’s a story that can only be told once.”
