According to the BBC, the six-hour six-part episode (episodes 4, 5 and 6 will be available on Netflix from December 15) is a “love letter to themselves” from the Sussexes. That sums it up wonderfully.
From our point of view? The two biggest sacrificial cookies in the world who have done nothing but sell their own story and make a lot of money from it since they left the UK in 2020. Whether it’s with her appearance on Oprah Winfrey, with her Netflix deal or with Harry’s biography “Spare” (in German “Reserve”), which will be released in January.
From their point of view? The two most exemplary young people in the world. critical rebels. Merciful benefactors. Time and time again they are involved in engaging Africa, finding themselves or finding fulfillment in other ways. Time and again they save the world on the stage of international organizations. Because there is a lot of injustice there. And you know what that is. Namely, when you’re evicted from a palace in London to a huge mansion in Montecito, the California millionaire’s favorite city.
Good. Very good. In the most luxurious conditions in the middle of the most beautiful parkland. Delighted, bird lover Harry stands on one of the many terraces and watches hummingbirds. Dressed in pastel, Meghan sits in an integral pastel-colored room, with a bowl of pink and purple stone eggs next to her. When she’s not picturesquely feeding chickens. This is how very rich people live in telenovelas.
Until now? no
Megan Harry. Meghan’s mother, Doria. Harry’s mother Diana. Pretty normal girlfriends of Meghan. Fairly elite friends of Harry’s. Meghan’s niece, Ashley (her half-sister Samantha’s daughter). All the experts Meghan and Harry hired for their documentary.
Meghan’s father, who posed for the tabloids and made money from it. Meghan’s half-sister Samantha, who wrote a scandalous book about Meghan and made money from it. A very nice family. Incidentally, as a child on the set of the sitcom of the same name, where her father worked as a lighting technician, Meghan sniffed TV broadcasts for the first time. Of course, the greatest evil is also to blame: the media, the media, the media.
The Royal Family is a structural villain that makes every member miserable. Or causes them to petrify inside or freeze to ice. “For the family, especially the men, there’s the urge to marry someone who fits the mold rather than deciding with the heart,” says Harry, referring primarily to his father, who (so far ) is not like the rest of the Royals. commented on or in “Harry & Meghan”.
Meghan describes her first meeting with her sister-in-law Kate: The formality of the appearance also took possession of Kate’s soul, she says. On joint shots, Kate looks stern. William appears together in old family videos, but Harry never mentions the brother. At least three episodes long. It’s barely cooler.
Yes! And how! Harry has a huge mother complex, Meghan is very similar to her, he says angrily in love, so warm, so compassionate. He wants to make it up to Meghan for everything fate has done to his mother. He wants to protect her and his family. Just as he protected his country “in two wars”. At least one magnificent portrait of Diana hangs at home in Montecito. And Meghan teaches her son Archie that the fairy-dressed woman in the photo is his grandmother.
They are rare and not attacked. Is it because the Windsors only get smoked out in episodes 4, 5, and 6? Or out of respect? By fear? Out of cowardice? Or maybe because Harry knows full well that despite all the complaints and although he is the reserve prince, he himself is also an important part of the company and has learned a few things late? In any case, he has a shrewd expert say that he, Harry, is “in an echo chamber of absolute privilege” that one is loath to leave.
The past of the monarchy is particularly criticized. For example, the huge trade with slavery, which really became institutionalized under Elizabeth I.
Yes. And it’s just not that interesting. Harry and Meghan went out to dinner twice early in their relationship. Wow. Good to know. And then they Facetimed and texted a lot and got to know each other in a really deep way. And then they went on a short vacation in Africa. And then Meghan used to fly from Toronto to London because, unlike Harry, she could fly undetected. If this were a script, it would be downright banal. And then … suddenly everything became “so scary” and took “a turn to the dark”.
Pretty terrifying. But everything was predictable. All the racist and tabloid shit the British tabloids pelted at Meghan. Taking up the gauntlet with paparazzi. It had all happened before. And at least the two admit that they completely naively blamed their relationship with the Frass in public.
The problem with the British press and the royal family, we learn, is this: British taxpayers fund the royal family in exchange for entertainment from them. splendor and personality. Now there is an agreement between the royal family and the press that the press offices of the various “households” (Harry & Meghan and Kate & William shared the Kensington Palace household) feed the media with positive messages. And that the royals pose.
If this happens too little, the press will get angry. But that doesn’t mean the royal family can turn its back on her. They must continue to feed the dogs that bit them. Harry describes this very drastically.
A pastel colored one. About two people who are currently in perhaps the most self-righteous and unworldly phase of their lives. Because they didn’t feel like redesigning from within a system that has reigned for more than 1,000 years and that, in addition to pomp and circumstance, also has a lot of blood and guilt attached to it. They are certainly not bad people, especially the carefree Meghan from before is very sympathetic. But the fact that they now do nothing but make their story the whole story also testifies to an extremely privileged self-image.
Harry & Meghan is now on Netflix.
