Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s docuseries, "Harry & Meghan," has viewers talking. And, according to one royal expert, it's not in a good way. 

Neil Sean was a guest on "The Story with Martha MacCallum" Friday and said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix show has been perceived as "fluff and nonsense" to people in the U.K., and those "particularly within palace walls."

MacCallum shared a clip of Harry in the series claiming his brother, Prince William, screamed and shouted at him when Harry decided to step away from royal duties in 2020 and move to California with Meghan Markle.

"It’s seen over here, and particularly within palace walls, as just fluff and nonsense," Sean said. "The bigger problem, Martha, is this: The continuation of the tissue of lies that, of course, Meghan [Markle] and Harry have presented about staff working within the palace. That's the bigger problem."

Sean mentioned the moment of Harry flashing his phone to the screen, alleging an aggressive text message from William. 

"Really, there's no recollection of that particular text from William to Harry," Sean said. "So what was on it? And why didn't you show it to the camera? Is it really true is a question that a lot of people are asking over here."

King Charles III and the royal family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, have not publicly commented on the docuseries and have been conducting business as usual.
