Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left their audience far from impressed after "airing their dirty laundry", according to a PR expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex missed out on receiving an Emmy Award nomination for their bombshell Netflix docuseries, with their plan to focus on the Royal Family "backfiring".
In the dramatic show, Harry claimed his brother Prince William screamed and shouted at him during the Sandringham summit and alleged members of Kensington Palace then "lied to protect my brother".
He also also claimed his wife wasn't "protected" by the Royal Family and said they were told not to say anything when stories were printed about them.
PR expert Kieran Elsby has told The Mirror Harry and Meghan's decision to focus on Royal Family drama has "injured" their careers.

Kieran added: "In the UK and USA we are fiercely loyal to our families, and it is hard to get people on side for airing grievances so publicly.
"It is possible that Meghan and Harry's American audience will eventually jump back on their side. However, it will take more than time and effort to rebuild their reputation."
He said it would "short-sighted" of Meghan and Harry to revert back to focusing on their time in the Royal Family and suggested they should find a different focus £to keep the income flowing".
