British Prince Harry and his wife, Megan, rejected criticism of a documentary series regarding their lives, in a statement issued by their spokesperson, in which he said that the couple had never mentioned that privacy was a reason for abandoning their royal duties.
In the first three episodes of the much-anticipated series, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed a series of things, including Meghan’s recollection of her first death threat, Harry’s talk of having to go undercover to meet Meghan and unseen footage of their son Archie.
According to figures reported by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the first episode attracted 2.4 million viewers in Britain on the day of its broadcast, prompting some to criticize the couple because they had previously strongly complained of the press’s interference in their lives.
However, a statement issued by the couple’s media advisor rejected this torrent of criticism, and said, according to a BBC report, “The Duke and Duchess never mentioned privacy as a reason for condescension. This distorted narrative is intended to force them to remain silent.”
“They chose to share their story, on their own terms, and yet the tabloids have created a completely false narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion,” he added.
The statement highlighted that Harry and Meghan did not mention privacy as a reason when renouncing royal duties in January 2020 and expressed their desire to continue their public roles and duties.
In the documentary series, Prince Harry and his wife Megan reveal what they described as “the truth”, from their meeting via Instagram and then their love story under the eyes of celebrity photo hunters, but most importantly, they clear through their episodes their accounts with British tabloids, accusing them of destroying them as they did with the late Princess Diana. .
Years following their resounding withdrawal from the British royal family, the series “Harry and Megan” brought back to the fore the couple’s crisis with the family, which they accused of racism and of not embracing the American actress.
