Their meeting on Instagram and then a love story under the constant eye of the paparazzi: Harry and Meghan reveal their “truth” in a documentary and, above all, settle accounts with the British tabloids, accused of “destroying” them because of what they did to Diana , reports AFP.

Almost three years after the shock break with the monarchy and three months after King Charles III ascended the throne, Britain’s much-anticipated Harry and Meghan is once again bringing to the fore a crisis in which the British royal family has been accused of they never accepted an American actress. half-breed and divorcee, in her bosom.

While next Thursday’s final three episodes are likely to be riskier for the royal family as the story of their departure to California, the three episodes already available remain relatively low-key, limited to a few veiled shots, and focus on the beginning of the romance between the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex before their wedding in 2018.

The series delves into their intimate relationship: how they met on Instagram, their first date, their first trip to Botswana, their first surprisingly formal dinner with Harry’s older brother William and his wife Kate, Meghan’s date with the late Elizabeth II when she was away able to curtsey.

“Exploitation and corruption”

First of all, it gives Harry an opportunity to attack the British tabloids, which quickly became hostile to the “temperamental duchess” in favor of Kate.

“It is my duty to expose this exploitation and corruption in our media,” Harry said from London’s Heathrow Airport before departing the UK in 2020.

The couple criticized the methods of the tabloids, which scrutinized Meghan’s every move and harassed her family and friends.

The 38-year-old prince said his wife was “a lot like” his mother Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 after being hunted by paparazzi shortly after her divorce from Charles. “It’s hard to see another woman I love go through this madness. It’s hunter versus prey,” he says

“No matter how hard I tried, how well I behaved, what I did, they always found a way to destroy me,” says Megan, 41.

The documentary uses an excerpt from Diana’s 1995 interview, which William asked not to be broadcast again.

The memories will come

Since her departure, the couple, who have two young children, have been hugely unpopular in Britain, often portrayed as hypocrites, criticizing the media attention they receive but earning millions of dollars monetizing their confessions.

Following the Netflix documentary, Harry is set to release his memoir The Substitute in early January.
