Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix documentary hasn’t been released yet and it is already causing the couple havoc as people claim they are putting “money over family.”

The couple were in New York City for the Ripple of Hope Award gala to accept an award for their work in racial justice and mental health when a stranger yelled at them.

“Harry, how do you feel about destroying the royal family?”

The stranger then turned to Meghan and said: “Meghan, you destroyed the royal family.”

The grilling did not stop there, as journalist’s began shouting damaging questions targeting the young Prince while the couple were posing for photos.

“Do you have a message for your family, Harry?”

“Are you harming your family Harry?”

He was further asked if he was “putting money over family” however the pair ignored all questions, and Prince Harry just stated “so many questions” before guiding his wife away from the cameras.

Meghan had no response to the questions, however the Aquamarine ring on her finger captured everyone’s attention. The ring was previously owned by her mother-in-law Princess Diana and became famous for wearing it on her wedding finger following the divorce from the now King Charles.

The duchess donned a stunning white off-the-shoulder gown which closely resembled Catherine, the Princess of Wales’ outfit at The Earthshot Prize 2022 ceremony.

During the pair’s acceptance speech, Meghan encouraged people to speak truthfully about their own experiences.

“We all need to, when we can, if we feel brave enough, to just speak honestly about our own experience,” she said.

“It gives other people space and the courage to do the same, but more than that to really feel like you’re not alone.”

Part one of the Netflix documentary airs December 8.

Her comments on truth closely align with the ideology of their upcoming six-part Netflix documentary which is set to explore the couple’s courtship and challenges faced after being “forced” to depart their senior working royal roles.

In the teaser trailer, Prince Harry said: “No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors. I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”

When Meghan added: “When the stakes were this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”
