The trip to the United States of Wilhelm and Kate Middleton, the first in eight years, was completely overshadowed by the teaser for Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan. A timing, that of the Dukes of Sussex, seemingly coincidental, but what it was perceived by the royal family as a conscious decision, indeed as a real “declaration of war” to them. Contrary to what happened on the occasion of the famous interview two Dukes granted Oprah in 2021, This time they won’t be watching in the palace and the most aggressive seem to be the Princes of Wales that they have decided deny any allegations they deem unfounded or to any unfortunate fact that might affect them. This was revealed by the Sunday Express, who through the words of a source close to the couple, explained how the staff is already ready with countermeasures: “The team – we read – will watch the first episodes as soon as they are available on the platform. When they see them they will decide what to do, but the way forward is clear: to respond point by point to everything that is considered harmful».
According to the first leaked information the documentary promises to be a real bomb on the royal family’s balance sheet. The main theme that will be addressed is certainly the Racism Meghan suffers from and what she will tell in the eyes of viewers, as expected by some genuine commentators, could also be confirmed by recent events which have made the protagonist of Elizabeth II’s former lady-in-waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, guilty of making offensive and racist comments against one outspoken to a black activist at a Queen Consort reception, forcing her to step down from her role as royal assistant. to this question, others will surely be added, such as some family members’ vigorous opposition to the marriage, Harry and Meghan’s mental health struggles and how they both felt neglected and abandoned during difficult times larger ones: from Diana’s death to the former Suits protagonist’s suicidal thoughts. “The supervision of the entire project – an expert emphasized on Sunday to the Sun – therefore lies with Meghan The couple’s comments can only be explosive».
Addressing these issues also means speaking broadly the relationship between the two brothers and their respective wives. Relations between them, already largely torn by the events of recent years, may therefore reach a point of no return. “The documentary – explained another source to the Telegraph – will pit Kate and Meghan against each other and compare the different ways the two women have been treated in the media. Meghan will complain of very negative treatment, to the point of an invisible contract between the palace and the press that left the Dukes of Sussex utterly left out, abandoned and vulnerable to accusation and criticism. It is also used as an underline There was neither sympathy nor willingness to protect or help them on the part of the Welsh princes. Waiting to hear and see what’s being said, William and Kate want to focus solely on their work and try to project the image of a solid and close-knit couple. The goal is not to comment on any kind of criticismto prepare for when the going gets inevitably rough. The confrontation between the two royal couples is therefore postponed to the documentary release date: December 8th.
