Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had their fair share of uncomfortable moments since their relationship blossomed in the public eye around a decade ago. From awkward moments in their Netflix docuseries, to very sharp lessons in royal protocol on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, public appearances haven't always been smooth sailing for the couple.

And in their latest mishap, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have received scathing reviews for their newest TV endeavour - part of their £80million deal with Netflix. 'Polo' has received two stars or less out of five across the board, with Prince Harry, 40, only appearing a handful of times throughout the five episodes, and Meghan, 43, featuring even less.

But there have been far more uncomfortable moments in the couple's past, including an excruciating interview their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, which aired in 2022. In the clip, Meghan dramatically recounts her first encounter with the late Queen to the bemusement of her husband, who appears to shy away from the exchange.
