• Trailers for Harry and Meghan’s upcoming documentary are heavily disliked 
• The two videos have received more than 400,000 dislikes on YouTube

The trailers for Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary have been given the thumbs down by more than 400,000 people. 

The first 72-second clip, which was released last week, revealed previously unseen pictures from the couple’s family album and a voiceover from Harry saying ‘no one sees what’s happening behind closed doors.’ 

Although the clip has had more than seven million views, more than 281,000 people ‘dislike’ the video, according to a popular online tool which also shows how just 22,000 gave the trailer a thumbs up. 

The second clip, which was released at the weekend and showed Harry hitting out at a ‘hierarchy of the family’, has been disliked by 120,000 people. Only 22,000 have ‘liked’ it.

The Netflix documentary will be released in two installments on December 8 and 15 

The statistics are from the internet browser add-on Return Youtube Dislikes, which was released after Youtube hid its own controversial dislike counter in November last year. 

It meant that while individual users could still say they did not like a video, the public measure was removed.  

More than 280,000 people dislike the first clip, released last week

But the Return Youtube Dislikes tool allows users to see how unpopular videos are once again. 

Creator Dmitry Selivanov said: ‘The motivation behind this was simple convenience.

‘I prefer to see the rating of the video before I waste time watching it.’

The tool is reportedly used by more than eight million people each day. 

After the first trailer was released, for the new show, Harry & Meghan, royal insiders said it was tantamount to a ‘declaration of war’. 

The clip was released on the second day of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ high-profile visit to the US. 

The second trailer has received 120,000 dislikes in several days  

The trailer suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will confront rumours about their difficult relationship with senior royals head-on. 

The second clip was branded ‘more of the same’ by critics, who said they were ‘sick of hearing complaints’.

Harry hit out at the ‘hierarchy of the family’, claimed insiders ‘leaked and planted’ stories, describes royal life as a ‘dirty game’ and – after footage showed his mother Princess Diana talking about ‘the pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution’.

The couple were slammed  by royal experts after it emerged that the trailer used a picture taken during an approved photo opp in South Africa to suggest intrusion from the press.

Royal correspondent Robert Jobson tweeted: ‘This photograph used by @Netflix and Harry and Meghan to suggest intrusion by the press is a complete travesty. It was taken from a accredited pool at Archbishop Tutu’s residence in Cape Town. Only 3 people were in the accredited position. H & M agreed the position. I was there.’ 

Another clip showed a group of photographers rushing towards a concrete building which was clearly identifiable as Crawley Magistrates Court – where former glamour model Katie Price appeared last December to be sentenced for drink driving. 

‘I was terrified – I didn’t want history to repeat itself,’ Harry said as the footage was played. 

Another piece of video showed photographers huddling around a car as Meghan said – referring to the royal household – ‘I realised they are never going to protect you’. 

It then cut to an image of Meghan dabbing her eyes, seemingly in tears.

But rather than showing the Sussexes being hounded, the footage is in fact of Mr Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, leaving his New York apartment in 2019 to serve time in prison for financial crimes, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress.
