On Thursday, Netflix released the first three episodes of “Harry & Meghan.” The couple criticizes the tabloid press several times. This is what the covers look like today.
In their Netflix documentary, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan speak out against the British tabloids and explain how much they have suffered, due to violent headlines and the paparazzi who constantly harassed them. The newspapers attack the couple in capital letters on their front pages this Friday.
This is how the press in England reacts to the real documentary:
“Daily Mirror”: “Barely two months after the death of our Queen, Prince Harry is again complaining about his treatment… Prince William is venting his anger again… Meanwhile, thousands of Britons are forced to choose between food and heating “Stop this royal circus.”
“Daily Star”: “Official verdict: £90m Netflix series: Not as good as ‘Homes Under the Hammer’ (British TV series, editor’s note). Act 1, Scene 1: TV bosses accused of telling another hoax “Act 2, Scene 3: The main character denigrates the entire royal family. Act 3, Scene 7: The main actress talks about the embarrassing hug with Kate.”
“Daily Express”: “How hurtful! The royals are ‘deeply hurt’ by Harry’s comments.”
“Daily entry”: “The accusations in the Netflix show shake the monarchy. We are not amused. Prince William is angry that his brother Harry and Meghan are attacking the royal family. The couple’s documentary plunges the palace into chaos weeks after the death of the queen.”
“Sun”: “Evil Harry. How far can they go? The show betrays the monarchy. Prince Harry and Meghan are ruining the queen’s legacy. And they call Britain and the royals ‘racist’. King Charles, Will and Kate ‘in a state of dismay’.”
“Daily Mail”: “Palace angry over ‘attack on Queen’s legacy'”.
“Meter”: “Harry’s criticism of William and Kate: Royals don’t marry for love”.
“The Daily Telegraph”: “Sussexes’ claims on TV show are a ‘direct hit’ to the late Queen’s legacy.”
“The Guardian”: “Renewed excitement, but the story remains the same.” (Headline of a television review)
“The times”: “Palace and Netflix fall out over Sussex soap”.
“The Independent”: “Harry, Meghan and the Netflix stir”. (Title for television criticism)
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan stepped away from the British royal family in 2020. Since then, they have spoken several times about their time in the “Golden Cage,” racism, mental health issues, and lack of acceptance. The couple now lives in Montecito, California with their children, three-year-old Archie and one-year-old Lilibet.
Meghan releases her Spotify podcast “Archetypes” every week, Harry is said to work at a company in Silicon Valley. Public appearances are rare, but from time to time the two appear unexpectedly on social media, even though they no longer have profiles. With their foundation “Archewell”, they campaign for gender equality or support the children of soldiers who have suffered the death of a parent.
