That’s the view of the Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English who says the hit Netflix show explores stories in a way that some members of the royal family could find ‘traumatic’. Our panel also discuss the latest news around Prince Harry’s memoirs Spare, with its ‘confrontational’ cover. Richard Eden believes that the ‘woe-is-me’ title is a poor choice.

What did you think of this week's show?

[johnnyhock]

Nobody exploits Harry’s mother more than Harry himself…

[thestraightroad]

Thanks for the heads up about Tessa Dunlop appearing on the show. I will be giving it a miss. She is defensive, domineering, has an aversion to facts if they don’t suit her, and talks over other people. Very rude.

[ashaharcharan]

Thank you for not inviting Tessa. At least these two guests make sense.

[parkerbrown-nesbit]

Harry's a spoiled brat. Anne isn't. That's the difference.

[jennifernesbitt]

Oh at least there was a warning that odious Tessa Dunlop will be flogging her book, must be time to weed the garden when that show starts.

[lyndaworth]

Please please don't have Tessa Dunlop on in the future.
She is stride and just wants to dominate.Unbearable.

[amylin]

I could be wrong, but didn’t Diana dismiss her royal protection officers herself? Hasn’t Ken Wharfe said that he advised her not to, and she did it anyway? Why is it being repeated that Diana’s protection was taken away when she lost her HRH? Please clarify.

[zariwilmot]

Please please DON’T invite Tessa Dunlop on your programme anymore! Thank you.

[Chipoo]

Harry might do well to remember that he hasn’t been the spare since Prince George’s birth. So spare us the self pity!

[karenwoolston]

I personally think that he didn’t have any negative connotations before he got married, much the same as he didn’t realise he was trapped until his wife told him he was!

[cindyluwho]

Oh, God no! Not Tess Dunlop!!!! I certainly won't watch that Sussex apologist!!

[shicks]

Thanks for the advance notice about Dr Tessa coming on your show. I will NOT be watching it. She is rude and obnoxious

[jeaneliza]

Tessa Dunlop is so rude and shouty and talks over people. I have to switch off!

[fionahoward.]

I'm glad that you didn't have Tessa on. I wouldn't have carried on watching if she was on with you. Whenever you have her on, from now on I will be turning off.

[shicks]

Rebecca… Charles needs to give Edward the Dukedom that was promised to him…sooner rather than later. Charles gave William the prince of Wales title immediately on his accession. Why is he waiting?

[srinikagunawardenalinden]

Please "DO NOT" bring in Dr. Tessa. Not because she has a different opinion of things than the others but for her condescending attitude and always needing to take over the conversation and talking over and belittling the others. Please it's irritating to watch her. See how beautiful and authentic this episode was. I hope you will think about it twice or thrice before you bring her again. Thank you.

[lornalakin]

Great programme, so much better without Tessa Dunlop who has no concept of anyone else's opinion other than her own.

[buddy]

Tessa Dunlop, well I'm definitely skipping that episode... terribly rude person.

[ln]

I the way the 3 journalists speak about Netflix. It's all calm and very British.
