0:00.0	Good evening, everyone. This is a CNN tonight special Royal Revelations. I'm Alison Kamerata.
0:18.6	In the hour ahead, we're going to examine the media phenomenon that is the Netflix documentary
0:23.8	called Harry and Meghan. Why is it the most watched documentary debut ever for Netflix? Why
0:30.2	have people around the world watched more than 81 million hours worth of this? Is it because

2:13.0	Harry says he was being blocked from meeting the Queen to discuss his future.
2:20.4	I rang him and said, I'm not told that you're busy. I didn't know that I was busy. I've been told
