Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix documentary has been slammed for repeatedly making the same "mistake". <\/p>\n

The first three episodes of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Netflix docuseries, titled Harry & Meghan, were released on Netflix today (Thursday, December 8). <\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, parts of the documentary touch upon the couple's relationship with the press, specifically photographers and paparazzi. <\/p>\n

Journalist Anita Singh, the Daily Telegraph's Arts and Entertainment Editor, reckons the documentary erroneously labels official press photographers as "paparazzi", insisting "they are not the same". <\/p>\n

She wrote on Twitter: "One mistake this documentary – and Harry – keeps making is referring to press photographers as 'paparazzi'. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"They are not the same. Every photographer on a photo call has been invited there."<\/p>\n

Times Business columnist Harry Wallop agreed by Sharing Singh's tweet and adding: "I know lots of press photographers. Most are the most charming, lovely and people you'll meet \u2013 because they have to win the trust of subjects to get them to smile\/get the best shot. <\/p>\n

"Paps, who snap from behind the bushes, are not the same (and are quite a rare breed)."<\/p>\n

The comments come after the trailer for the series was criticised online for using "fake" photos supposedly showing press intrusion.<\/p>\n

One image used in it showed photographers at the premier of a Harry Potter film in 2011 several years before the Duke and Duchess met.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There was also footage of Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen being photographed in the US.<\/p>\n

In response, a source familiar with the making of the documentary told The Daily Telegraph that the Sussexes do not have editorial control over the trailers.<\/p>\n

The source said: "You use stock images to tell a story.<\/p>\n

"It's not meant to be literal in a trailer."<\/p>\n

They added that the use of stock footage was "standard practice in documentary and trailer production".<\/p>\n
