The first part of the BBC documentary about the Royal Family caused quite a stir in the British royal family. Now the second part is due – with a changed name. That is the reason.
Last Monday the BBC broadcast the first part of the documentary “The Princes and the Press” with the subtitle “The New Generation”. The second part of the controversial program about the British royal family is now to be renamed “Sussexit” shortly before it airs, according to “The Sun”.
Prince Harry: term “Megxit” is “misogynist”
Allegedly they want to appease Prince Harry, 37, with the new title. He recently complained that the term “Megxit”, which has established itself in the media since his and Duchess Meghans, 40, quit as senior royals, was “misogynistic” and “created by a troll”.

The second part of the documentary “The Princes and the Press” will be shown on Monday, November 29, 2021. The topic of the program should be the “circumstances surrounding the decision of the Sussexes to resign from their roles as senior royals”. New allegations that Harry and Meghan should not have received any support from the palace in their endeavors, and that a member of the royal family was helping a tabloid with their trial against the Sussexes, are said to play a central role.
Meghan’s lawyer Jenny Afia has another say
Meghan’s lawyer Jenny Afia had a say in the first episode of the two-parter and defended her client’s reputation. While it was about the years up to the couple’s wedding in 2018, the second part should document the time from 2018 to 2021. Here, too, Afia should have an appearance again.
Statement from the Royal Households to the BBC
Meanwhile, in the British palace, the BBC show met with great displeasure. So much so that Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Clarence House even sent a joint statement on the matter to the BBC. “A free, responsible and open press is vital for a healthy democracy,” said the statement made by the three royal households of Queen Elizabeth, 95, Prince Charles, 73, and Prince William, 39, before Broadcast the program. “Yet all too often, exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims from unnamed sources are presented as facts and are disappointed by anyone, including the BBC, to give them credibility.”
