In the documentary, Meghan looks like the smirking cynical cat who got the commercial lottery-life-win cream, while hapless Harry looks like a spaced-out zombie who now speaks weird Montecito therapist couch psychobabble as he tries to justify his appalling treachery towards his family and his country.
‘I sacrificed everything I know to join ‘Meghan’s world’,’ he says at one point, in what may be the truest statement either of them makes in their extended disingenuous whine.
Yes, he did.
And I suspect the main reason he now seems so permanently unhappy, whilst insisting he’s never been happier, is because in his heart he knows he’s been manipulated by a seasoned family-wrecker into abandoning the people and country he once loved.
One of the most telling moments came when Meghan revealed how she phoned her beloved niece to uninvite her from the wedding, because she’d supposedly been told to by some Palace flunkie.
Who bans a family loved one from their special day, and instead invites newfound celebrity acquaintances like the Clooneys and Beckhams?
But the most sickening part of this Netflix series is the constant use of Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, and absurd comparisons to his wife.
‘So much of what Meghan is, is so similar to my mum,’ he says. ‘She has the same compassion, same empathy, and the same confidence. She has this warmth about her.’
Really?
Having known both women, I can say with certainty that they had absolutely nothing in common.
Where is Meghan’s compassion and empathy towards her father who she disowned when he became a ‘problem’, and who recently suffered a massive stroke?
She’s not bothered to even call him to see how he is.
‘Meghan doesn’t have a father,’ says Harry, who’s never met Thomas Markle.
Yes, she bloody well does, and he brought her up on his own for years. Notwithstanding his own mistakes for which he’s apologised, the way they’ve both treated him is appalling.
The Sussexes say they’ve suffered horrendous harassment from paparazzi but use six fake examples of this in the trailers alone, and honestly, I’ve had more intense paparazzi treatment than anything they showed in the first three episodes.
As for their privacy, they spend the entire time revealing private text messages and intimate photos, and home videos they made 20 months ago in clear preparation for this show.
And Harry talks of wanting to protect his kids whilst constantly using them on camera.
It’s all so staggeringly hypocritical.
But there’s also some genuinely nasty stuff in there too, not least Harry’s jibe at royal men choosing ‘fit-the-mould’ wives, which is clearly aimed at William and Kate, and his assertion that the royals are a bunch of ‘unconsciously biased’ racists at the head of a racist country when they still haven’t produced any actual evidence of the royals being racist, and it’s well-documented that Britain is one of the most tolerant multi-cultural places to live in the world.
They even absurdly try to pin Brexit, the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, on the alleged racism aimed at Meghan.
‘It was an orchestrated reality show,’ Meghan says disapprovingly of her and Harry’s engagement interview.
