The streaming giant has bagged the top 10 rankings this week. Harry & Meghan claimed the top three spots on the list. However, Wednesday is still active in the competition.

Harry & Meghan rules Netflix
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had stupendous publicity before the show’s airing. Surprisingly, the show logged 97.71 million hours in its second week. Moreover, it is bigger than the opening weekend figures of 81.55 million. Every kind of publicity is publicity. Almost every critic slammed the docuseries with negative reviews. But the tempting content and a look into the life of the royals were enough to drive the audience to its front step.
The docuseries has been surrounded by constant controversy. It was recently reported that a close member of the Royal Family is upset with Harry and Meghan. One source quipped, “Kate feels hurt and betrayed that Harry would do this to her, too, especially as the pair used to be so close.” The source further claimed that the Prince of Wales is not going to react publicly and “isn’t planning to give his side of the story or openly retaliate.” The source further said, “He’s remaining dignified and is getting on with the job,” the report added, quoting the source.”
