The critics have spoken. In the new Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan, the Duke of Sussex makes several different references to his mother Princess Diana and says that his wife Meghan Markle is just like her. But according to royal critics, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here’s what you need to know.
In the series, Harry said members of his family questioned why Meghan needed more protection from the media than their wives had been given, but he said they failed to grasp the “race element.” The couple also took aim at the British press, with Meghan claiming “salacious stories” were “planted” in the lead-up to their wedding, and the couple saying they were “playing whack-a-mole” as the articles appeared.
Meghan Markle Slammed By Critics: “She’s No Princess Diana”
Yet, many critics have weighed in on the matter on social media with comments such as, “Meghan supposedly being hounded by the paps. Meghan not being hounded by the press or paps really hurt her narc ego to the maximum because she felt and knew she wasn’t as popular as Kate or Diana as she wanted to be,” along with, “Queen Elizabeth hasn’t even been gone for three months.
Why the hurry in this shared footage of yesterdays past that’s irrelevant to them. So they fell in love? So they were self entitled brats fleeing the monarchy and basically didn’t want to work? Meghan is no Princess Diana, let’s face it.”
Harry and Meghan officially left the monarchy on March 31 2020, having opted for personal and financial freedom over remaining as working members of the royal family.
Their 2020 statement did not give a reason for the decision to step back as senior royals. Days after the decision, they issued a warning over harassment by paparazzi photographers. That echoed criticism from 2019 when Harry said he felt his wife had faced “bullying” from some tabloids similar to that faced by his mother, Princess Diana, who died in a 1997 car crash while trying to escape paparazzi photographers. The couple has cut ties with Britain’s four biggest tabloids and successfully sued a number of publications, with further legal action pending.
