One thing that I do not understand is why people hate it so much, Meghan Markel. The only thing that is left to try to understand the hate she receives in the media and social media is because she is mixed race. Megan and Harry's documentary was announced several months ago and premiered recently. Some people were upset because the first trailer premiere coincided with the visit of the Prince of Wales and his wife to the nation. Coincidence or not, the hate continues. The documentary opens the door to the couple's world, showing never seen photos and videos. It is a space where they tell the story of their lives before and after they became a couple. The film is well-made and includes interviews with people close to the couple, such as friends, family, and people who work with them.
Some people criticize them for speaking up, especially her, but I question why people consume whatever media story they feed and prefer that to whatever they want to say on their terms. Many people accuse her of making him break with his family, but why blame her? Did she force him? Apparently, no, because he says it was his choice, but still, people don't listen.
I have seen over the years many documentaries about the royal family from different perspectives and presented by many "royal experts." The members of the family themselves have participated in very few films. I remember in the 1990s when Diana was interviewed after her separation and when she spoke up about what today Harry and Meghan continue to talk about: the rigidity of the royal family and the need the institution has for change. And hearing both films tell us that little has changed in one of the world's oldest monarchies. However, even though Diana's words were controversial then, she never was attacked as Meghan has been. And maybe, one big reason was that Diana was white, and Meghan was not. People can be racists even without accepting they are, which is called unconscious bias.
"Harry & Meghan" is a good documentary for those interested in the royal family and the many layers such an institution has.
