) just to put themselves in another (), well, not all spotlights are created equal. And the pair, actually, never said they wanted a completely private life.Now that the first three episodes of the docu-series about the pair are out, the couple's press secretary is addressing the apparent paradox of leaving the global stage to make a show about yourself: “Their statement announcing their decision to step back mentions nothing of privacy and reiterates their desire to continue their roles and public duties,” Ashley Hansen said in .
“Any suggestion otherwise speaks to a key point of this series. They are choosing to share their story, on their terms, and yet the tabloid media has created an entirely untrue narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion.
The facts are right in front of them.”The receipts back this up. In the original statement announcing their step back from being “senior” royals, the pair don't mention privacy once.
It's more about becoming financially independent, moving to the U.S. and giving the family “space to focus on the next chapter” (read the full remarks on ).There's also the lingering question of whether the project is Prince Harry and Meghan Markle telling their story, , or some PR version of both.
Liz Garbus, who directed the series, addressed speculation that the Sussexes had “final control” on the series by saying to the Times, “It was a collaboration. You can keep asking me, but that’s what I’ll say.” Perhaps tellingly, the article also notes that the first director attached to the project left because her “vérité style did not mesh with the couple’s interests."Still gotta be more accurate than The Crown though, right?By By By By More from GlamourSee More Stories© 2022 Condé
.A spokeswoman for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has said an apology by The Sun newspaper over a column in which Jeremy Clarkson said he "hated" Meghan is "nothing more than a PR stunt".
Meghan Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, have made headlines since the release of their explosive Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan, earlier this month.The show has divided opinion across the world, but the Sussexes still have a supporter in X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, 34.In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Alexandra was asked for her thoughts on the doc.She said: “I actually haven’t had a chance to watch it.“I am looking forward to watching it because I absolutely love Meghan and Harry but I haven’t had the chance simply because of my workload, but I will watch it very soon.”Alexandra’s inability to watch the series is understandable given that she is currently performing 12 shows a week in pantomime at the London Palladium, all while raising her five month baby.The former Strictly Come Dancing star has taken on the role as the villain in this year’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk.In her Palladium panto debut she is also acting alongside comedy greats Dawn French and Julian Clary.On how it is going, Alexandra said: “Doing a show with the likes of Dawn French and Julian Clary is just amazing and I think for everyone, we have all been through a tough couple of years so to go into a theatre and laugh and smile is such a joyous moment that I think everyone needs. “And [Dawn and Julian] are just wonderful.
“#TheKing not knowing how to fix it,” the broadcaster concluded.But Fern’s remarks sparked debate among other social media users, with some disagreeing with the author.JulieWr34432298 said: “Surely she must have known what she was getting into?“Did she think being part of the Royal Family was going to be like a Disney film?“I feel that almost as though Harry is in a coercive control relationship and she's isolated him from everybody.”Carolynchild191 added: “Have a look at the press Catherine received, Camilla, Fergie etc.“Meghan was welcomed with open arms by the press at the beginning it was only as they learnt more about her that the welcome changed.“Don't you think it's strange that H & M filmed everything, they planned this.”However, some Twitter users leapt to Prince Harry and Meghan’s defence as they agreed with Fern.JulienDuncan1 typed: “No one could have watched the last three episodes inparticular and not have been, very deeply moved at the hell that this couple, inparticular Meghan.“It was horrific that she was at the brink of carrying suicide. Her true friends saw it.
In a follow-up post, he tweeted: These last episodes of #HarryandMeganNetflix get more interesting. It's just sad really.
Not playing by the same rules? In Harry & Meghan, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a series of claims about how they were treated differently than Prince William — and dropped a bombshell allegation about the heir to the throne in relation to a lawsuit filed by the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan replied: “No it's ok, she said that she wants me to feel safe and protected, she admires and respects my bravery and she thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed.”Harry responded: “That's well said.”The final episode of the docuseries also features a dramatic moment in which Prince Harry is seen visibly upset after receiving a text message from Prince William following the chat with Oprah.Harry simply admitted: "I wish I knew what to do."In the scene, Meghan is seen talking with her friend Tyler Perry on her mobile phone.She then reads out the statement issued by Buckingham Palace following the couple's interview with Oprah Winfrey.As Meghan is reading that out, Harry is shown deep in thought as he stares at his mobile phone screen.But then Meghan says: "What am I looking at?", as a snivelling Harry shows her his mobile phone screen, to which Meghan simply replies: “Wow."Meghan then goes back to speaking to Tyler, and says: "H just got a text from his brother," before she ends the call with her friend.She stands up in front of Harry, who is visibly upset and has both hands behind his head and tells her: "I wish I knew what to do." Meghan embraces her husband as she says: "I know. Let's take a breather.
The big conclusion. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s docuseries, Harry & Meghan, ended with the couple breaking down how they “made it to the other side.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not hold back about the moment when things changed for them with the royal family.
Meghan Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, are currently preparing for the long-awaited release of the final three episodes of their Netflix docuseries tomorrow, with the couple appearing to suggest more explosive claims.The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel, 52, has taken to TikTok to unleash her view on the already released episodes, claiming the royal couple are just using the opportunity to "money grab" while also calling the series "boring".The first half of the docuseries saw the couple open up about how they met and they shared intimate details about how their relationship blossomed.Harry and Meghan has so far become Netflix’s biggest documentary ever with more views in its first week than any other on the streaming service.The first three episodes recorded 81.55m viewing hours around the world in the week following its release.However, the Real Housewives star, having watched the first three episodes claimed she found them "boring".She said in a short TikTok video: "I found it a little bit boring. It didn’t hold my attention."I don't really understand the goal, because if it's to take down the monarchy - which are your in-laws - which it seems like is a major goal, don't take the names of this monarchy for your children and don't market the titles."It feels like a smash-and-grab job for money.

I wouldn’t stay with it, but my wife wants to watch it, so we have shows we watch, but they come off like such whiny b*****s."I gotta tell you, man, I just don’t get it."The radio presenter then tried to justify his comments by explaining his thoughts on the Prince's reasoning for leaving the royal family.He continued: "I get Prince Harry being p****d off at the monarchy for his mother.They treated her like s**t."That Prince Charles was such a f***ing c**t to Lady Diana."Stern said that while he felt empathy for Prince Harry over the passing of his mother, he felt the royal did still come across as "whiny".He said: "Jesus Christ, when those two start whining about ‘Wah, wah, wah, and they don’t like me’ and she wants to be beloved in this country, but man, oh man, you know."It's just very weird to watch two people who keep screaming, 'We wanted our privacy, we wanted the press to leave us alone.'"And then what is special that they put out on Netflix — showing you them and their kids and their life.
