RICHARD EDEN: ‘He was trying to pretend!’ Frank Skinner is unconvinced by Prince Harry’s guitar playing skills in new trailer for the Sussexes bombshell Netflix documentary
Frank Skinner has suggested Prince Harry wasn’t really playing the guitar in the trailer for his new Netflix series Harry & Meghan.
The comedian, 65, told how he spotted Harry playing a strange chord on the guitar in the clip and was left suspicious the pose may have just been for show.
He said: ‘The chord he’s playing is one I’ve never seen before. So Buzz, my son, who’s ten, said: “Hold on a minute…”

‘He got our guitar and we froze the frame and he hit the chord. It was the ugliest sound.’
Frank then joked: ‘I wonder if maybe Harry is trying to represent the discord they endured at the Palace?
‘But I think more likely he was trying to pretend he could play guitar in a strange Owl And The Pussy-Cat sort of way.’
Harry and Meghan Markle’s new six-part documentary series for Netflix documents their relationship and decision to step back as senior members of the Royal Family.

The first minute-long Netflix teaser strongly suggests the Sussexes will confront rumours about their tempestuous relationships with senior royals head-on.
In a deliberately tantalising remark to a producer off-screen, Meghan says in the clip: ‘When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?’
Royal insiders reacted with horror and an increasing sense of anger as the trailer was released on social media ahead of the documentary being broadcast on Netflix as part of the Sussexes’ multi-million dollar deal with the streaming giant.
The clip was viewed more than 300,000 times within an hour of being uploaded to Netflix’s Twitter accoun.

It features an assortment of private and public photographs, charting every stage of Harry and Meghan’s lives from birth to parenthood, set to a melancholic soundtrack.
Images include snapshots of the Sussexes’ life together, such as embracing in a photobooth, a selfie of the pair in casual dress smiling, Meghan’s pregnancy, and of Harry serenading his wife with an acoustic guitar.
There is also a shot of the Sussexes in their kitchen at Frogmore Cottage on the night of their penultimate engagement as royals in 2020, when they attended a remembrance event at the Royal Albert Hall.
Netflix said the show ‘explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution’.

It features commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, according to Netflix, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the Royal Family’s relationship with the Press.
It adds: ‘The series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other.’
Both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace declined to comment after the trailer was released.
Royal sources have said the Prince and Princess of Wales are determined ‘not to be distracted by other things this week’ and had not yet watched the trailer at the time of its release.
