The grand finale of the Netflix series about former British royals Harry and Meghan was also a generous throwing of mud. The documentary mainly focuses on the conflict between Harry and his brother and Crown Prince William.
“Brothers at War”, “An All-Out War Against William and Charles” and “Harry Claims William has BEEN MAD and CORRUPTED against him”. British tabloids take stock of the royal family’s latest boxing match. They draw a battle between brothers William and Harry in which Meghan Markle was sidelined.
According to Harry, it was exaggerated when he proposed with Meghan Markle to make a half-and-half deal about belonging to the British royal family. “We wanted to do our job and serve the queen.”
Upon this request a meeting was called at Sandringham Manor to discuss the couple’s new role. Also in attendance were the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William. They put the options on the table themselves: in or out. “It was very terrifying,” Harry says in the documentary. “My brother yelled at me, my dad said things that weren’t right, and my grandmother, meanwhile, just sat there in silence as she let it all in.” Meghan Markle was not present at that meeting. ‘To imagine. An important discussion about your future. And you weren’t even invited,” she says.
Harry also criticizes the royal press service’s approach. Following his decision to leave Buckingham Palace, the palace is said to have issued a statement debunking the rumours. “I could not believe what I read. No one had asked my permission,” she says. “Within four hours they were willing to lie to protect my brother, but in the three years Meghan and I were in the palace, not once did they tell the truth to protect us.” .
He accuses his family of even encouraging negative press coverage. ‘It’s a dirty game. Leaks get leaked and stories get tossed.’
Maladministration
It was already known that Meghan had miscarried. Go into more detail on this in the latest episode. According to Prince Harry, the miscarriage was caused by stress that a leaked letter to the Daily mail has provoked.
Meghan had sent a letter to her father while pregnant, on the Queen’s advice, after the latter made negative comments about the British royal family.
The letter eventually ended up in the hands of the Daily mail, who immediately published it. Meghan sued the newspaper for invasion of privacy and eventually the court was right too. But the stress associated with the case would take a serious toll on her unborn child.
Private life
The British also appreciate the couple’s unique insight into life. The documentary shows, among other things, how Markle dances in the doorway, how Harry works in the garden and how they bathe their baby together.
