The Skinnygirl founder claimed that the series was “a smash-and-grab job for money” after the couple stepped down from their royal duties and started a new life in Montecito, California in 2020. "It feels like a smash-and-grab job for money. It feels like, 'Grab the bag because we're leaving this thing and we've got to take everything we can,'" she added. "I don't really understand the goal, because if it's to take down the monarchy - which are your in-laws - which it seems like is a major goal, don't take the names of this monarchy for your children, and don't market the titles.”

Bethenny, however, also suggested the docuseries might have missed its target. "It feels like this documentary was designed to garner sympathy and it just feels like it's achieving the opposite result," she alleged. "It felt like this entire documentary was about 'How famous we are, we're so famous.' It's relentless. When you're in a car and you say you're going garage to garage, it feels like you just really want us to know how famous you were which we already know." She continued. "If you're being trolled by the media, the royal family gave you the advice to say nothing because that's the advice that most very famous people are given. If you add gasoline to a fire, the fire blows up even bigger. It feels like they, and Meghan in particular, just keep wanting to tell us more."

However, Frankel is not the only celeb who publically criticized the royal couple’s explosive series. Earlier this week, Megyn Kelly also called the series "insufferable" and questioned whether the prince actually needed a "whiny, woke annoying wife" rather than a licensed psychotherapist.

"Believe it or not this couple is still complaining. From the Montecito mansion, with two beautiful, perfectly healthy children, a little chicken coop and flower garden out back, matching Uggs for Meghan and her toddler, all royal titles still intact complete with matching stationary, and nearly 200 million dollars in the bank thanks to their insatiable desire to 'finally tell their story,'" she said on her show.
