The released half-series, “Harry & Meghan,” details several things that happened in the past, including Markle’s introduction to the royal family, alleged racist attacks from the British media, and several other incidents. There have also been some comparisons between Markle and her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

The title card of the series reads, “This is a first-hand account of Harry and Meghan’s story, told with never-before-seen personal archives. All interviews have been completed by August 2022.” The first three episodes of the documentary feature the couple’s self-recorded video journals, including their last public engagement as senior members of the Royal family in March 2020.
Harry was shown in a private suite at London’s Heathrow Airport and revealed what prompted him to leave the Royal family. He said (via E! News), “My job is to keep my family safe. But being born into this position in the midst of all that comes with it and the level of hatred that has been engendered in the last three years, especially towards my wife and children, I am generally concerned about the safety of my family. .”

Markle, who was in Vancouver at the time, revealed that she wanted to “find the other side of all of this.” Through tears, the mother of two said she felt like “they,” perhaps the royal family and the British media, were trying to destroy them.
Harry called out both sides at the start of the series, revealing that he felt his job was to “expose this exploitation and corruption that goes on in our media.” He added per E!, “This is not just about our story. This is always much bigger than us. No one knows the whole truth. We know the full truth. The institutions know the full truth, and the media know the full truth because they already know it.”

The documentary details how Harry and Markle met and married. According to the actor, he was taking a break from “Suits” and had come up with plans for himself before mutual friends introduced them. After their near-disastrous first date, the two meet and start getting along well.
Harry revealed that he had some doubts about the relationship at first because of the way the British media treated and invaded the privacy of previous women he dated.

The father of two said, “I remember thinking, ‘How can I find someone who is willing and able to bear all the burdens that come with me?’ Every relationship I’ve had, within weeks or months, it’s all over the press and the person’s family is disrupted, and their life is turned upside down.”
Despite his apprehension, Duke revealed that he couldn’t help himself and finally opened his heart to the relationship.

Harry spoke about how he struggled after his mother died in 1997 in a fatal car crash. He explained that he had to act brave while playing the grieving child. He said, “When my mother died, we had two hats to wear. One is two grieving sons, wanting to cry, grieve, and process that grief over the loss of our mother. And two is a royal hat, showing no emotion, going there, meeting people, shaking hands.”
“The UK has really swept me and William up as their son,” and, along with that, comes “the anticipation of seeing me and William out and about is very difficult for both of us,” Harry continued. Paparazzi soon began following the Royal and publishing negative stories about her party life at school.

In honor of his mother, Harry and Markle reportedly placed a portrait of Princess Diana in Archie’s room. The actress is shown telling the child that the woman in the picture is her grandmother.
“Harry & Meghan” also recalls their first trip as a couple to Botswana. The location comes as no surprise, especially in the face of Harry’s strong connection to Africa. Duke’s childhood memories with his mother are also reviewed.

Harry spoke particularly of the media violence the two women suffered, stating that he found it difficult “to watch the other women in my life that I love go through this eating frenzy. It’s basically the hunter versus the prey.”

According to Harry, when he introduced Markle to the royal family, they were “very impressed” with him. They seemed surprised at how he could get “a beautiful woman and a wise woman”; however, his acting career gave them pause.
The father of two claimed that because she was an American actor, they felt the relationship would not last. Markle said per E!“The casting thing is the biggest problem, funnily enough. There’s a big idea of what it looks like from a UK, Hollywood point of view, and it’s very easy for them to typecast it.”
After going public with their relationship, Harry and Markle received negative comments from the press that surprised them. Harry was reportedly upset by the racist remarks and issued a statement contrary to Palace directives, condemning any form of racism.
