Harry and Meghan anger royals – Why Prince William should be “pissed off”.
“Meghan should be more respectful of the royal family”
Harry and Meghan settle accounts with the royal family and the British tabloids. In England, the Netflix documentary causes a shake of the head. There is still no reaction from Buckingham Palace. And there are first inconsistencies.
The couple is narcissistic and “terrible,” says a British MP. Meghan made fun of the now deceased Queen. According to the British press, the Netflix documentary about Harry and Meghan is causing massive upset, including among the royals.
DAccording to reports from British tabloids, the Royal Family reacted sadly to the first episodes of the Netflix documentary about Prince Harry and his wife Duchess Meghan. The royal family is “in a state of sadness,” wrote the Sun on Friday night. There is no way back into the inner circle, the newspaper quoted palace insiders as saying. The Mirror wrote that Harry’s older brother Prince William was “pissed off”.
The heir to the throne was particularly upset that Netflix used scenes from his mother Princess Diana’s famous BBC interview, in which she reported on the affair of her ex-husband Charles, now the king, in 1995. William assumed that the excerpts would never be shown again and that he agreed with his brother. Now he feels cheated. According to The Mirror, William and his wife Princess Kate found statements by Harry “particularly painful” suggesting that the men in the family did not marry for love.
In the Netflix production “Harry & Meghan”, the first three episodes of which the streaming giant “broadcast on Thursday”, the couple not only addresses the royal family’s involvement with the British tabloid press but also its handling of British colonial history and racism. The remaining three episodes are scheduled to air next Thursday.
Conservative MP Bob Seely has called for Harry and Meghan to be stripped of their royal titles. “If you want to hate the monarchy, be Mr. Windsor,” Seely told The Sun. The couple is narcissistic and “terrible”. Critics also pointed out that Meghan poked fun at the late Queen and traditions when she quipped about her first meeting with Harry’s grandmother and mimicked an over-the-top curtsy.
The marriage of Harry and Meghan in 2018 was still celebrated as a royal dream wedding, but in 2020 the two withdrew from their royal duties. They live in Meghan’s native California with their two children. Last year, Harry and Meghan caused a stir with an interview with US talk queen Oprah Winfrey, in which they made allegations of racism against the royals, among other things.
The royals were “absolutely not racist,” Harry’s older brother Prince William rejected the accusation at the time. This apparently sealed the break between the brothers and their wives.
