It was the most awaited documentary for the end of 2022. Since this Thursday, December 8th, the first part of the documentary series Harry & Megan is available on Netflix. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who left the Royal Family more than two years ago and have moved to California, tell their intimacy through numerous archive images. she return in particular to the main stages of their love storyalthough some remarks have nonetheless challenged the most discerning observers who have pointed the finger at them Contradictions to what they had said in the past.
This is the case, for example, with the story of her first date, and as Harry suggested. In the documentary, the Duke of Sussex claims to have met the Duchess “on Instagram.” However, as our Sun colleagues noted, the son of King Charles III. previously claimed they met on a blind date. “It was a blind date, an arranged date”he confided to the BBC in 2017, while explaining in the documentary: “Meghan and I met on Instagram.”and explained that the first photo he saw of his soon-to-be darling was a shot of her with a “dog” filter on her face.
A questionable marriage proposal
Another episode also confused fans of the royal family: that of the marriage proposal. In the Netflix documentary, Prince Harry claims to have proposed to Meghan in a garden, on a picnic tablecloth, lit by candlelight. The couple shared a photo showing Harry kneeling on the tablecloth, holding a jewelry box containing the engagement ring. Her other hand rests on the head of Meghan Markle’s dog, also adopted by the prince, who was wearing a cast on his front legs at the time. However, that story seems different from the one the couple told BBC One in November 2017. Prince Harry had indeed confided that he had made his request very simply, at his home in Kensington Palace, over a… fried chicken. “It was an incredible surprise. It was so tender and natural and very romantic,” Meghan said. And Harry to clarify: “She didn’t even let me finish and said, ‘May I say yes?’ Then there were hugs and I had the ring in my hand. I thought, ‘Can I give you the ring?’ Her: ‘Oh yes, the ring!’. It was a very nice moment. Just the two of us.”
The very first episode of Harry and Meghan begins with words on a black background that read: “Harry and Meghan. First-hand accounts from unpublished personal records. All interviews were conducted before August 2022. The royal family declined to comment on the documentary.. However, royal sources said neither Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace nor any family members have been approached to comment on the content of the Netflix series.
“We were never allowed to tell our story”
Finally, in the documentary, Harry and Meghan claimed that they were had never told her story before. “We weren’t allowed to tell our story because they didn’t want to…” assures the American actress. “We were never allowed to tell our story,” says Prince William’s brother. Statements that are surprising to say the least, knowing that in March 2021 The pair confided in Oprah Winfrey at length during an explosive interview which had serious consequences for the monarchy. The Duke and Duchess had notably accused an anonymous member of the royal family of racism towards their son Archie before his birth. During that interview, Meghan also confided that she was not helped by “the institution” when she was having suicidal thoughts.
