LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meghan's actual issue was that she was too much of a royal rock star, according to her husband Harry. In episode 4 of his latest Netflix documentary, 'Harry & Meghan,' Harry indicated that the royals felt 'threatened' by Meghan's popularity, and fans had a lot to say about this.

The episode follows the couple's tour to Australia and New Zealand, during which Meghan revealed her pregnancy. "The work they were doing, the speeches, the people they were meeting, it seemed to be amazing," says a friend named Abigail Spencer. "And then — I don’t understand what happened after that." Another acquaintance, Lucy Fraser, a PR executive, recalls, "I think Australia was a real turning point because they were so popular with the public," which supposedly upset the royal hierarchy.
