In an article published Monday, December 5, royal expert Richard Kay, a reporter for the “Daily Mail”, blasted the upcoming documentary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Behind a sober title, a promise of explosive revelations about the British royal family. The first volume of the documentary series Harry & Meghan will be online Thursday, December 8 on Netflix. And the latest trailer unveiled by the streaming giant is already causing a lot of ink to flow. In this very commented excerpt, Prince Harry makes particular reference to the ‘pain’ felt by women who married a member of the royal familyobviously starting with his mother, princess diana. “The women’s pain and suffering who get married within this institution, this media frenzy… I was terrified“can we hear the Duke of Sussex say, who added that he does not want “let history repeat itself” with his wife and mother of two children, Meghan Markle.
However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle addressing the fate of the late Princess Diana seems to provoke the anger of the British press. Indeed, for the royal expert and journalist of the DailyMail Richard Kay, who claims to have personally known the mother of Princes Harry and William, the Sussexes use the Princess “like a club to beat the royal family“. The specialist in the British royal family thus castigates the fact that the recently unveiled trailer contains “long shots of Diana surrounded by paparazzi“and that this harassment experienced by the princess be compared to that experienced by Meghan Markle, often criticized by the British press.
