The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle, are going to reveal the details of their courtship and subsequent departure from the life of working royals. The six-part documentary series will debut on Netflix in two installments before Christmas, the streaming service announced on Monday.
In the minute-long trailer, Markle and Harry seem to indicate that the British media was supportive of the couple until they were married, at which point things changed. “And then,” says Markle in an interview with Garbus. “Everything changed,” adds Harry.
“There’s a hierarchy in the family,” he continues. “You know, there’s leaking, but there’s also planting of stories.” Toward the end of the trailer, the Duke of Sussex says: “No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth.”
The timing is spot on it’s like a theatrical play that is going on episode by episode, We got a double whammy right now with the godmother and the overseas trip of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Not to forget the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to receive a prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights award.
These 3 events have come up as a run-up to the final docuseries that will be released very soon. Which has piqued the interest of audiences and those who weren’t listening may also be listening into the saga that is unfolding.
1 – When They Drew First Blood – Ripple Of Hope Award
On December 6, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are anticipated to travel back to New York City to accept the Ripple of Hope Award bestowed by the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Organization.
According to Kerry Kennedy, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had the courage to call out the oldest institution in the UK on where they are wrong and that they cannot have structural racism within the institution.
Few people would have the bravery to challenge the power structures they upheld in their communities, families, and workplaces, but Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done just that, according to Kennedy.
2 – Et Tu, Brute? – Lady Hussy’s Racist Remarks
The timing of the release of the first look at the docuseries of Meghan and Harry coincided with a member of the British royal family, Lady Susan Hussey, resigning for racist remarks she made to a Black guest at Buckingham Palace during a private event hosted by Queen Consort Camilla. She was also the godmother to Prince William.
A “Lady SH” constantly questioned Ngozi Fulani, a British-born charity executive, about where she actually came from and Fulani continued repeating that she was born in Britain. Fulani described the awkward encounter she had with the woman on Twitter.
Another incident quite similar to when Meghan Markle was questioned about her son Archie’s potential skin color is Lady Hussey’s harassment. There are numerous suspicions, but no one is certain who specifically said those things to the Duchess of Sussex.
