It is fair to say that Harry & Meghan will not be exchanging Christmas cards with members of the British media, as the press react angrily to the couple's bombshell allegations against the Royal Family.

During the pair's Netflix documentary, Prince Harry and Meghan have made allegations against the family, with Harry alleging amongst other things that the family have lied to "protect his brother" William, as well as claiming that the Prince of Wales "shouted and screamed" at him. 

News outlets such as the Sun, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph have all castigated the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, following the release of this controversial series.

With the Sun going with the headline "The Traitor & The Dutiful", they have written that the allegations made by Harry and Meghan amount to an "all-out war" with the Royal Family. 

Writer Piers Morgan who has been outspoken in his views of Meghan Markle, wrote in an opinion piece inside the Sun paper, that the couple's conduct has been "cowardly, treacherous and despicable", adding that they "did their best to manipulate viewers into thinking they were victims of unrelenting racist hate from the media". 

"But they don’t show any of the substantial positive coverage", the Talk TV host also added. 

Camilla Tominey an associate editor for The Telegraph has claimed that the second volume of this Netflix series means "revenge" for Harry & Meghan.

"As immediately becomes apparent in the second volume of their controversial docuseries, it isn’t enough for love to ‘win'", she wrote. "The Royal family must also lose for the couple to come out on top". 

"rank hypocrisy"

According to the Daily Mail, "battle lines" have now been drawn between Harry & Meghan and the British Royal family, following the latest episodes of this documentary.

"The only saving grace is that Her Majesty was spared seeing this tawdry exercise in self-promotion", the paper's editorial states. "The sensible majority in this country will find their vengeful onslaught distasteful and disrespectful". 

Elsewhere, The Times have called the Duke and Duchess' conduct "rank hypocrisy", urging the pair to "hand back their titles" and take themselves out of the line of succession". 

"Harry and Meghan must see the hypocrisy of claiming still to be royal," the article continues. "They have made clear that they consider themselves to be at war with the institution of monarchy, an institution that they appear to hold in contempt". 

"Why cling to royal titles which no longer have any relevance for two people now trading simply on their image as ‘celebrities’?".

Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror have urged brothers Prince Harry and William to end this conflict, and put their differences to one side, to find some common ground.

"The Royal Family gathered for a carol concert last night. But it’s clear from the Netflix documentary that William and Harry are not singing from the same hymn sheet", the article says. "They should remember it’s the season of peace and goodwill".
