When Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docuseries premiered, as expected, it stirred up a lot of controversy, received a lot of criticism and of course, has been getting endless amounts of hate online from supporters of the monarchy.
However, the negative response to the series does in no way seem to be stopping Harry and Meghan.
Despite reports that a feud with Prince William might be starting up again and that after Queen Elizabeth’s death Harry was “desperate” to make changes to the show and his upcoming memoir, Spare, one thing is for sure. Prince Harry has no regrets when it comes to Meghan.
A source described as being close to Prince Harry told The Mirror that Harry was “delighted” with the first few episodes of Harry and Meghan. The source goes on to say “Harry is delighted with the narrative of the documentary and how he and Meghan came across.”
“The reason for doing this was to share their truth on their lives. He feels it told the story he wanted the world to hear and has absolutely no regrets.”
The source, who was also a close friend of his late mother, Princess Diana, said that “Harry’s decision to make the show was his way of following in his mother’s footsteps and speaking his truth even though members of the royal family are often discouraged from doing so,” they go on to say “One of Diana’s reasons for speaking out was to help senior royals have an understanding of the impact on others caught up in the Firm,” the source explained. “She and Harry were both brave enough to fight back.” Harry is definitely his mother’s son.
Reports suggest that some members of the royal family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, are making it a point not to watch Harry and Meghan’s series at all, however that’s quite the opposite of what the Sussexes want. The says he is keen to make “some kind of peace” with the Royal family, despite reports suggesting this series having driven a deeper wedge between them.
“Harry and Meghan hope family members and courtiers will watch or, more importantly, listen to their comments. But they know nothing they speak about will be addressed in public,” the source said.
“They hope it may prompt a greater understanding from the King and the Cambridges of how Harry and Meghan feel about their experiences in England.”
With Harry & Meghan, “They are choosing to share their story, on their terms”, says the couple’s Global Press Secretary. Nothing amount of negativity seems to be able to stop the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Now that we have Harry & Meghan, who knows what they’ll do next.
