Prince Harry's seven-word reply to a text from his brother Prince William, following the Sussexes' explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey was an incredibly intimate moment to witness and left viewers feeling emotional. In their Netflix series, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared some of the fallout from their candid conversation with the iconic talk show host, which included revelations about physical altercations between the brothers and ignited the royal race row surrounding the colour of Archie's skin.

In one moment in the documentary, Meghan Markle was seen chatting with her friend Tyler Perry, exclaiming "Wow" after Harry showed her a text he'd received from his brother William. Meghan shared: "H just got a text... H just got a text from his brother", appearing visibly affected by the message.

The topic was swiftly brushed over, but the intimate moment left some fans heartbroken as it laid bare the increasingly strained relationship between the two royal brothers. One Royal fan tweeted: "It's sad to see two brothers who were so close drift apart,".

However, some viewers questioned the authenticity of this intimate moment, wondering why a camera crew happened to be present when Prince William sent the apparently text. One sceptical fan wrote: "Lucky there was a camera crew around at the exact time Prince William texts Hazza,".

Prince William was thrust into the spotlight with several shocking accusations in the Netflix documentary, which heavily focussed on Meghan's confrontation with the Daily Mail newspaper. The series delved into her protracted legal feud after a personal letter to her father, Thomas Markle, was published.

An employee working for Prince William was allegedly implicated by Harry and Meghan as providing an unwarranted statement, placing the future king in an uncomfortable position.

In happier news, Harry and Meghan's documentary has earned a nomination for Best Streaming Nonfiction by the Hollywood Critics Awards. Taking to Twitter, the awards body shared that the Royal couple is contending with an array of riveting documentaries like Prehistoric Planet 2 and The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy.

Despite a mix of criticism and acclaim, the docuseries set new records, becoming Netflix's most-watched documentary debut ever. In just the first four days, it racked up an astounding 81.6 million hours viewed.

"The bond with Archewell Productions is one we deeply value. Harry and Meghan launched as Netflix's most spectacular documentary debut to date," said a representative from Netflix.
