A second remarked: "So fantastic you guys are doing this, sharing light and positivity with #theWorld and championing Mother Earth. Two very big new roles to you both and cheering you #alltheway! Love from Brooklyn.

A third added: "Thank you for your commitment to climate change and early childhood development. Thank you for coming to the United States."

The couple are yet to react to Harry and Meghan's series, but HELLO! Royal editor Emily Nash has revealed that they would no doubt be "disappointed" that it was released during their tour.

She said: "I think that everyone in the Prince Princess of Wales' team is just very keen to keep the focus on Earthshot. That's the whole reason they're here and this is something they've been building up to for 18 months.

"So they're going to be very disappointed that the attention is going elsewhere at the moment and I'm sure that there are going to be concerns about what's to come in this documentary.

"But I expect it to be business as usual. They are just going to get on with it, get their heads down and do the engagements they've committed to today. I wouldn't expect to see any comment.

"It's incredibly difficult. You know, they're senior members of the royal family, they are known for not commenting on the things that come out in the media."
