Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey contained so many amazing moments that it can be difficult to determine which was the most shocking and shocking.
You could practically hear the collective gasp from the audience as Meghan revealed that a member of the royal family expressed about Archie’s skin tone during her pregnancy. ‘
But the royal family has successfully avoided further investigations into that accusation, and since the identity of the curious fan remains undisclosed and the British tabloid press prefers to target Meghan, the matter appears to be more or less closed.
In recent weeks, however, the matter of Harry and Meghan’s mental health has regained global media attention.
This is largely the result of The me that you can’t see, an AppleTV + documentary series that focuses on mental illness and the need for more accessible treatment around the world.
And, as usual, the coverage is mostly complimentary, with a handful of obnoxious trolls trying to discredit the work done by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

In the series, which is co-produced by Oprah, Harry gets more personal than ever, opening up about painful incidents from his past, such as the death of his mother and the period of time during her first pregnancy when Meghan became suicidal.
Not only is this the first time Harry has spoken so frankly, this level of honesty is unprecedented in the history of the royal family.
So it’s perhaps not surprising that Harry’s latest project has received a polarized response.

Royal historian Angela Levin has been one of the most outspoken critics of Harry’s recent work, with some believing her most recent tweet about The Me You Can’t See is downright cruel.
“How terrible if Harry constantly thinks he will lose Meghan like he did Diana and blames racism,” he tweeted sarcastically.
“Besides, he can’t get rid of M’s threat to kill himself. His life sounds too much for him and he should steer clear of being an awake, lectured celebrity.

Levin seems to disagree with the part of the series where Harry makes comparisons between his mother’s situation and his own, noting that Diana was dating Dodi Fayed, a businessman of Egyptian descent, at the time of his death.
“My mother was persecuted to death while in a relationship with someone who was not white,” said Harry.
And now look what happened. And it all comes back to the same people, the same business model, the same industry, “he added.

“What I regret the most is not having taken one more position. Talk about racism when I did. History was repeating itself ”.
In expressing his own regret over Meghan’s mishandling of the situation, Harry is also calling out to people like Levin, who are involved in an industry that routinely targets people when they are at their most vulnerable.
Unfortunately, the defensive response he’s received from Levin, Piers Morgan, and such “journalists” is far too predictable.

The royal family is known to suppress signs of emotion and humanity and interpret any manifestation as an indication of weakness.
We now know that the British media prefer it that way and quickly go on the offensive whenever royalty offers any sign of vulnerability.
That makes Harry’s willingness to go against the grain even more admirable, but unfortunately, it also means that the road ahead of the Sussexes will be much more difficult.
