Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle are among the most well-known royal partners in recent times. They have experienced a lot of controversy during their time together as a married couple, and here they reveal all.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex offer their viewpoint on the events that have been repeatedly brought up during public conversation, split across 6 episodes in Netflix’s docuseries. In addition to the former senior members of the royal family, the show also includes a number of the couple’s friends and family members.

The two-volume series gives viewers a glimpse into their early lives and discusses how the couple met, how they supposedly left the royal life behind, and how they have lived since. The show addresses sensitive themes including Meghan being bullied by “them”—the intrusive media and the Royal Family, the institutionalized racism in the Royal Family, her having suicidal thoughts, losing her child, her need to speak the truth, and her desire for peace.

“Never complain and never explain” has served as the Royal Family’s key element when interacting with the press. Since this is clearly not Harry and Meghan’s style, they have turned to Netflix to fight their own battles with the press as well as the members of the Royal Family.

In the two-volume docudrama, Meghan and Harry provide their first-person account of what transpired, so from their point of view, they lay everything bare for the audience to see their story and what happened. This tale comes from the horses’ mouth itself, so it does justice to their narrative and their truth since they put it out themselves, unlike a show like The Crown, whose credibility could be questioned.

Every story, like a coin, undoubtedly has two sides. The audience is informed before the documentary even starts that the Royal Family hasn’t commented on it, which is not surprising considering that it violates their protocol of not complaining and not explaining, which the former senior members of the Royal Family opted to breach. Having said that, considering that the other side hasn’t had a chance to present their argument and battle for their position on the matter so we ourselves can determine what is “the truth” and not “their truth”, the validity of everything presented in the documentary is seriously unreliable. The documentary’s premise is quite weak because it is a one-sided account to begin with.

It is stated in the documentary’s last episode that the objective of the six-part docudrama is that the Sussex’s want to share the truth, bring about peace, and finally put the drama behind them and live a private life. The documentary seems to be a means for the Duke and Duchess to supposedly put all the previous baggage down, and it indicates that they are seeking closure.

The documentary attacks the Royal Family, including King Charles by calling him a liar. Furthermore, Prince Harry accuses William of yelling at him, and the Late Queen Elizabeth ll was accused of remaining silent and doing nothing. One could argue that the documentary is causing more drama and likely not going to enable them to live in peace privately as they wanted throughout.
