Netflix Drama 'Harry & Meghan' Reveals Six Notable Life Events Following Their Distancing from the Royal Family
In the six-part Netflix documentary series, "Harry & Meghan," the early days of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship and their subsequent departure from royal life are delved into, offering a unique insight into life as modern-day royalty.
The series sheds light on a significant moment in Prince Harry's past - his regret over wearing a Nazi uniform at the age of 20. This controversial decision, which caused public uproar, is dramatised in other media such as "The Crown." Harry expresses his discomfort and regret, acknowledging the intense fallout it caused. To help rehabilitate their public image, the couple hired Emily Robinson, a former executive from "The Crown," who was responsible for promoting some of its most contentious storylines, including the Nazi costume incident.
Meghan Markle, who is known for her love of hugs, was also subjected to intense media scrutiny. Upon meeting Queen Elizabeth for the first time, she was surprised to discover that she was expected to curtsy. The media attention following the public revelation of her relationship with Prince Harry left her overwhelmed and intimidated. This scrutiny would become even more pronounced for Harry.
Harry has openly criticised the media's treatment of Meghan, describing it as invasive and damaging. The couple's decision to step back from royal duties was influenced by this intense scrutiny and its impact on their mental health and family life. Their hiring of a seasoned communications professional like Emily Robinson underscores their efforts to manage and counteract negative media narratives.
Prince Harry publicly reflects on his past mistake and shares how he made amends by speaking to the Chief Rabbi in London, a Holocaust survivor, and learning from the experience.
The British media coverage of Markle has been critical, from describing her as an "exotic" addition to the royal family to holding standards of perfection that few could measure up to. Despite these challenges, the documentary series provides a compelling narrative of the couple's journey and their determination to maintain their dignity and integrity in the face of adversity.
All six episodes of "Harry & Meghan" are available for streaming, offering viewers a captivating and insightful look into the lives of the modern royals.
In the midst of managing their public image, the couple brought on Emily Robinson, a former executive responsible for contentious storylines from the TV series "The Crown," to help them navigate the media landscape. Harry's networth might have allowed him to hire Robinson, but the focus on celebrities and entertainment extends far beyond their financial dealings, with Harry's regrettable past fashion choice – wearing a Nazi uniform at 20 – making headlines in both traditional news and entertainment media.
