A Tory MP says people should 'boycott' Netflix over the release of new documentary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Speaking on last night's edition of BBC Question Time, Employment Secretary Guy Opperman called the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a 'very troubled' couple whose attacks would have little impact on the royal family or Britain itself.

Responding to a statement from a member of the public who described the row between the Sussexes and the Royal Family as a "little drama", he told BBC Question Time: "I think they are clearly a very troubled couple, which I think anyone looking at them can tell is a sad situation.

The Employment Minister was responding to a BBC Question Time audience member who said the ongoing royal dispute was 'petty' (

He then urged people to avoid the show and even boycott the streaming platform altogether, saying, "I don't think it fundamentally impacts the royal family.
