In the trailer, the Duke and Duchess have called out the press for making their lives miserable. The Sussexes blamed the media for hounding them, especially Meghan Markle in the United Kingdom. They also showcased some clips to prove their point about the breach of privacy. However, in the trailer, the fans could only see Princess Diana and Kate Middleton getting flocked by paparazzi. There was no single clip of Markle alone being chased by the photographers.
Netflix’s carelessness causes more harm to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Seeing no footage of the media surrounding Meghan Markle like they did Princess Diana and Kate Middleton, Twitter users are convinced that the Sussex royals are running a false press-hounding narrative. The royal fans did not shy away from labeling the Duke and Duchess as liars. Moreover, the crown servants also called out the royal couple for using Princess Diana and the new Princess of Wales for the publicity of their docuseries.
Love the footage of Princess Diana and Princess Catherine getting chased and hounded by paparazzi, because that actually happened to them, and never meg. Also love Harry insinuating that the family leak stuff to the press…he was obviously on about himself. Thanks Scobie! pic.twitter.com/qlKiISJ2Bw

So you used twice a footage of Catherine chased by paparazzi before marry with William but you don't have one of M chasing by paparazzi alone, because that's never happened.Good luck,!!😂😂

They haven't got no footage of them being chased by the press, so are using footage from Catherine and Diana says it all. They were never chased cause they aren't as popular.

Why have you used footage of BOTH Princess of Wales being hounded by the press??

So you used paparazzi footage from a Harry Potter event and an old photo of school children awaiting a Royal Visit….it seems as though the paparazzi aren't that interested when back grid is on speed dial. Wanna see footage of Catherine being pestered by the press? There's tons.

Meanwhile, the trailer did have clips of the press following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. However, Netflix made a major mistake by using the wrong footage. In one of the frames, the American streaming giant has shown dozens of photographers. The picture does not have a relation with the royal family as it was taken in July 2011 during the premiere of Harry Potter in London.

The clip in the Harry & Meghan trailer released today showing Paparazzi swarming the car was not of Harry & Meghan.
Rather Michael Cohen, President Trump's Former Lawyer Leaves For Prison Term, filmed in 2019.

There is one more clip in the trailer where the cameramen can be seen swarming a car. However, it has also nothing to do with the California-based royals. Instead, the footage is from 2019 when Donald Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, was going for his punishment in jail. The multiple fake pictures in the Netflix show have raised serious questions over the credibility of the content.
