Harry & Meghan

I genuinely it difficult to believe when one goes on saying extremely nice things about oneself, with zero negatives. I also find it difficult to believe that their relationship is nothing but a fairytale romance with no downsides after 5 years of being together.

I understand they were affected badly by the negative media attention and wanted to call it quits and move away. But what are they doing now giving interviews, writing books, making documentaries, knowing full well that the royal family will not respond? Perhaps it's part of Harry's financial independence plan to cash in on the limelight of being a royal outcast?

I went into this not really knowing what to expect but a few minutes in I thought what could they have to say that could stretch across 6 episodes? Well, in this first 3 episodes nothing new really or all that interesting. For me the one thing that stood out is her relationship with her niece. Yes, Meghan has a neice.

We all knew her mother was the only blood relative reported to have been to the wedding and we're aware of the drama with her father...no family is perfect...but the revelation of a niece was, well, a revelation.

Meghan invited all kinds of "friends" to her wedding, even Oprah who we know she did not know for real yet she did not invite her actual niece she actually had a good relationship with. Why? Because she was so concerned with the possible debacle of explaining why her half sister (the niece's mother) was not invited. If Meghan was ever pressed to say why she didn't invite her half sister she could have simply stated she had no relationship with her but she has a relationship with her niece...case closed. Period. For someone who is so well-spoken and clever as Meghan you think it would have been a no-brainer, nope, instead she cared only about herself and not her neice's feelings. If you ever get invited to a family member's wedding this would have been the wedding. I would have been heartbroken if she was my aunt. That decision, to me, speaks volumes about Meghan.

This was sort of as expected. I wanted to feel sympathy for Meghan at times, a couple episodes in, but this documentary was so very obviously planned as a fallback, with all the emotional vlogs over a number of years, that by the end I was over the drama. The victim/race card is hashed and rehashed, but what if it's actually not race and its actually just personality? We're not actually allowed to ever say that thoogh. Meghan comes across as someone who thought she could change an old institution, but when she couldn't change centuries of tradition, she decided to destroy and monetize it. I realize I'm not allowed to say this, but the modern monarchy doesn't come across as racist and I believe the initially welcomed Meghan, which means there is either a massive conspiracy, as they suggest, or maybe she was tough to deal with for other reasons. Based on how this was contrived I'm inclined to believe the later. Of course no one is perfect and I'm sure there are individuals here and there in the institution with racist views. Harry seems genuine and Meghan is definitely an actress, with a well timed pause and tear.

The rich, money grabbing victim card just doesn't work for me.

I was disappointed. The documentary felt more like a one-sided promotion of Harry and Meghan's image than a balanced exploration of their lives.

The documentary lacked any real insight into the couple's experiences, and instead relied heavily on anecdotal evidence and hearsay. There was little effort made to delve into the complex issues surrounding their departure from the royal family, and instead, the narrative seemed to be heavily influenced by Harry and Meghan's perspective.

Moreover, the documentary failed to provide any real depth or analysis, and instead felt more like a collection of talking heads offering their own opinions. The lack of diversity in the perspectives presented was particularly disappointing.

Overall, I would not recommend the Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary to anyone looking for an unbiased and thoughtful exploration of the couple's lives. Instead, it feels like little more than a shallow attempt to burnish their public image.

Well, I think it's all been said about these two....... The carefully planned and orchestrated "private" moments... the jealousy and envy they show toward William and Kate, while claiming not to want that life....the claims of serious misconduct by other royal Family member while showing absolutely no proof.... It's all been said, and in a much more articulate manner than I ever could...

What I can't understand is why they didn't have their PR team do a better job of evening out these scores. If what they say is true, they would know that this series would be panned. It's really curious to me that there are so few positive scores.

To me, they just come off as selfish, entitled, and angry. Not really what you expect from royalty. I expect much more dignity from the royal family than insulting fake curtsies from a couch.
