Harry and Meghan have divided viewers with their docuseries

A second shared: "Can't wait to watch this and finally hear the truth. It's horrible what's been done to them. Diana would never have allowed this, she would have loved Meghan."

Harry and Meghan will air on Netflix on Thursday

However, not everyone was supportive of the couple's decision to air the documentary. "Harry and Meghan said they had no plans when leaving the royal family and had to get out to save themselves. They had no plans to sell their story or share it. Yet on their last day they hired a private photographer to follow them around to take pictures of them 'leaving'," one wrote.

Another joked: "I think everyone should boycott Harry and Meghan's show on Netflix, out of respect for their privacy."

The couple have faced questions over the legitimacy of some footage

And a larger number still pointed out how some of the clips in the trailer weren't relevant to the couple at all and showed images of entirely different people. "I really hope that #Netflix correctly categorises #HarryandMeghanonNetflix as #drama and not #factual !!! It's all complete fabrication," a third argued.

Netflix has announced that Volume I of the docuseries will be released on 8 December, while Volume II will air on 15 December.
