Self Indulgent and Planned
23 December 2022
This was sort of as expected. I wanted to feel sympathy for Meghan at times, a couple episodes in, but this documentary was so very obviously planned as a fallback, with all the emotional vlogs over a number of years, that by the end I was over the drama. The victim/race card is hashed and rehashed, but what if it's actually not race and its actually just personality? We're not actually allowed to ever say that thoogh. Meghan comes across as someone who thought she could change an old institution, but when she couldn't change centuries of tradition, she decided to destroy and monetize it. I realize I'm not allowed to say this, but the modern monarchy doesn't come across as racist and I believe the initially welcomed Meghan, which means there is either a massive conspiracy, as they suggest, or maybe she was tough to deal with for other reasons. Based on how this was contrived I'm inclined to believe the later. Of course no one is perfect and I'm sure there are individuals here and there in the institution with racist views. Harry seems genuine and Meghan is definitely an actress, with a well timed pause and tear.

The rich, money grabbing victim card just doesn't work for me.
