You may be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to put aside your cynicism for 88 minutes or so and enjoy the efforts to place a tiara on a story with an ending isn't necessarily happy but registers as satisfyingly resolute.

This is drinking-game catnip, a feast of bizarre and dubious choices played with irresistible sincerity.

Evidently, a dramatic reenactment of "Were you silent or were you silenced?" proved too daunting for Lifetime's casting department.

Painful to watch. The self pity is cringe-worthy. The actors, direction and story is nauseating. I can't take anymore of these two. They really are the worst! Meghan is a terrible actress who tried to destroy the Royal family. Don't they ever read the room and realise people absolutely detest them.

Ridiculous, even for day time television - any minute I was expecting to see Charles come around a corner stalking the poor innocent couple with a machine gun like terminator

I don't follow the royals so I approached this as pure fiction for entertainment. It was interesting but a couple of things made it difficult to watch. 1) Nothing breaks the 4th wall like bad accents. Several actors couldn't decide what they were trying to sound like and fell in and out of accent within the scenes. Was there no one else available? A random person plucked from the streets of England maybe? 2) Ther was way too much direct explanation rather than letting the audience figure things out. It's condescending to have Meghan spell things out to us in a private chat with her baby, essentially pausing to say, "hey! In case you didn't get it, this is what happened." Most of the dialog between Meghan and Harry were basically recaps of what we should have learned from the previous scenes as well.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

What an absolute disgrace and treacherous, ungrateful thrashing and no respect for yourself or your parents. The Royals are an institution, shame on these two for selling their souls for some pounds in the pocket! This is a sacrilege to allow absolute nonsense and lies like this to tarnish the Royal Family! Sad, sad, people indeed, absolutely stunned at this blatant lie!
