MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry's Netflix show has been accused of carelessness over a second seemingly misleading picture.
The Duchess and Duke of Sussex included an 84-year-old picture showing crowds of cheering children during a trailer montage depicting their Royal life.
But the photo was taken in 1938 and the children were cheering for Queen Mary and not the privacy-loving couple.
It comes after another picture in the trailer which seemingly depicted them being hounded by photographers was actually an image of the paparazzi and a Harry Potter premiere years before they met.
Royal biographer Angela Levin told The Sun: "I’m speechless. It’s absolutely astonishing.
"We’ve got at least three faults in a minute glimpse of what we are going to see.

"It turns your stomach. Why do that? Are they trying to pretend crowds and crowds of people are coming to watch them? What are they saying? It can only be that.
"Why would they pick something from Queen Mary's time? It's completely baffling that they are doing that.
"Is it trying to give a different impression to the reality or is it carelessness on behalf of the people who chose the photographs?
"I can't believe that Meghan didn't look at them very carefully. She must have asked to see them – they are very very significant.

"If you are trying to get across what the series is all about it's very important to get the publicity right. To become a mockery, it's very negative.
"It's very clumsy of them. If they can't even get the right pictures in and they can't even keep to the truth, it looks ridiculous.
"It absolutely damages their credibility. It means they think everybody else is stupid and isn't going to look up the photographs they have got that's actually not of them.
"This is a world where people can find things out very quickly to be the truth or not. It's the same with the photographers.
'FOOLISH'
"Why do that? I can't believe they can think they can make all these errors.
"It's just a mystery why they would behave like that. It's very unprofessional. It's very sneaky. It's very off-putting.
"If they want people to feel sorry for them, which is part of what they want, then you have got to smarten up.
"There's an incompetence there. If a newspaper did that then the guy would be sacked. You are telling lies.
"They complain about the press manipulating things and not saying the truth and here they are doing exactly that. It's very foolish.
"They are risking their whole reputation. They must assume that we are all fools and we would not dare check on the pictures they have got because they have put them there."
It comes as Prince Harry slammed the royal hierarchy and Meghan sobbed "they're never going to protect you" in a new trailer today.
The trailer, which has been released just days before the bombshell doc is unleashed on Thursday, shows a string of photographs of the couple as they describe their life.
Prince Harry can be heard saying: "It's really hard looking back on it and thinking 'what on earth happened?'."
He adds: "There's a hierarchy of the family.
"The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, it's a feeding frenzy.
"I was terrified, I didn’t want history repeating itself."
And today The Sun revealed a picture of photographers in another trailer were really pointing their cameras at the all-star cast of the final film in JK Rowling’s wizarding franchise at an event in July 2011.
The image — which includes a snap of The Sun photographer Doug Seeburg — is used in the Netflix trailer before Prince Harry says in a voice-over: “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”

Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun: “I don’t imagine Harry would have realised, but Netflix have been careless here as it weakens Harry’s comment about protecting his family. This fake picture weakens his point.”
