Angry Netflix users have taken to social media after the streaming service crashed and froze for some people trying to watch the Harry & Meghan series after its release this morning.

Some viewers say they were unable to start watching the series, which dropped at 8am UK time, after it failed to load.

The show is one of the most anticipated shows on Netflix as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have promised to give inside information about their relationship.

Buckingham Palace officials will have joined the hordes of fans who enthusiastically logged in to see what the couple had to say about the press coverage of the couple, alleged racism in the royal family itself, and alleged harassment of the staff.

Some social media users said they were experiencing problems playing the first few episodes of ‘Harry & Meghan’

In the first episode, the couple talks about how they met, in the second episode, the prince compares himself to his late mother Diana, and in the third, he talks about their engagement.

The senior royals are said to be preparing for the worst and will be prepared to address any baseless allegations as the new series debuts on the streaming service.

However, some tuners may have had trouble accessing the episodes, after some people on social media complained about Netflix crashing when they tried to watch it.

Some reported that their screens froze and the episode stopped loading ‘at 10%’ after trying to watch the show this morning.

Others said their Netflix has ‘crashed’ and the problems apparently affect people both inside and outside Britain.

@TaffyAnn614 said: ‘I think we’ve crashed #netflix. Mine won’t load!!’.

@BackQe wrote: “Seems like #Netflix crashed or couldn’t keep up with server demands.”

@TudorChick1501 added: ‘Stuck at 10% charge. It’s too early for this! Let’s go Netflix!

Others said Netflix was running slow or episodes were ‘stuck at 10% upload’ this morning.

Downdetector.com, which measures outages on websites, showed a spike in reports from its users at 8 a.m. when the first episodes dropped.

Those who were able to access the show would have seen the series begin with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex filming themselves the day their royal duties ended, with Harry in the Heathrow lounge as he flew to Canada.

The first three episodes also cover Harry’s birth and upbringing and he blames the media for the failure of his previous relationships.

The Sussexes then describe how they got together, their engagement, and then stepping down as frontline royals.

The Duke and Duchess discuss Megxit, racism, and their new life in California.

It also begins with a scathing comment that the Royal Family refused to comment on the allegations in the show and reveals that it was completed in August 2022, before the Queen’s death.

Episode one opened with words written in white on a black background reading: “This is a first-hand account of Harry and Meghan’s story, told from a never-before-seen personal archive.” All interviews were completed by August 2022. Members of the royal family declined to comment on the content of this series.
