REVIEW: ‘Harry & Meghan’ ‘Americans must have done something terrible to deserve these two.’
freebeacon ^ | 12/18/2022 | Dominic Green

Every nation gets the royal family it deserves. Americans once had Hollywood royalty, but Hollywood has decayed into virtue-signaling and television streaming. Meghan and Harry are pretenders to the throne of American royalty for the 21st century. A second-rate actress and a spare-part prince are parodying a European past for a fanbase that cannot remember it. They are speaking their truth even though parts of it are demonstrably false. Americans must have done something terrible to deserve these two.

The Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan is not so much a documentary as it is a six-hour Instagram post. It purports to be the true story of "Megxit," their highly premature retirement as working royals, and to give thrilling insights into their new life in a humble mansion in Montecito. But, like everything else the couple says, it doesn’t quite add up. "We know the full truth," Harry says. So why is it so hard to believe?

They say they want privacy, but they have taken $100 million from Netflix, sold private footage, and allowed cameras into their home at all hours. Harry says the pact between monarchy and media is a "dirty game," but he is an active player. He complains that his family are now "cold" to him, but he has betrayed them all. He portrays the late Queen Elizabeth II as the passive toy of unnamed courtiers. He claims that the Queen, his father Charles III, and his brother Prince William ganged up on him, that they were "bullying us out of the family." His willingness to publicize private conversations and impute the lowest of motives shows that they would be mad to share more than a sandwich with him.

Harry keeps saying that the media killed his mother, Princess Diana. He says the media have damaged his and Meghan’s mental health and complains about the "emotional toll." He says he wants to protect Meghan from Diana’s fate and that his job "is to keep my family safe." Yet here he is again, seeking public attention and feeding himself, his wife, and his two young children into the woodchipper of celebrity gossip. It makes no sense.

Above all, they tell us that this, as Harry says, is "a great love story." But most of what they tell us, and almost all of what we see here, has nothing to do with love or its greatness, and everything to do with the inverse, the petty passion of hatred. They have now got exactly what they always claimed to want, but they seem so sick with resentment that they cannot enjoy their good fortune.

snip...””Misinformation is a global humanitarian crisis,” says Harry. When he moved to the United States, he called the First Amendment “bonkers,” only to admit he didn’t know how it worked. He then joined the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Information Disorder. Harry & Meghan is a prime example of disinformation. They don’t just want to “speak their truth.” They want to suppress all criticism.

The dirtiest weapon in Harry & Meghan is the accusation of racism. Two black British journalists, Afua Hirsch and David Olusoga, attribute Meghan and Harry’s retreat from Britain to ingrained racism in the royal family and the media. Footage of a pro-Brexit march is slipped in, as if to confirm that the 52 percent of Britons who voted for Brexit are all racists. Hirsch calls the Commonwealth, which Meghan and Harry were earmarked to serve, “Empire 2.0.””

Living in their pain their hurt taking it to heart coming up with the scapegoats for their hurt and pain.

On her Hollywood actress resume and PR package, Meghan was always listed as white. So now she tries to shame and embarrass the British Royal family as racists. There will be no end to her mischief, with Harry as her brainwashed assistant. Real blame is on idiot Harry for bringing her into his family.

You’ve summed it up nicely.

My late father would have said that “he was thinking with his hind brain”.

Harry’s mother was no towering genius, and he seems to have inherited the same genes.

We already have the Klintoon Crime Family; why did we get those two “royal” scumbags?

And, where will Harry be when the couple divorce? Before Netflix, he still had the opportunity to take he ba**s back from Meghan and go home. It’s too late now.

“A Prince of England got married to chick I wouldn’t “

I’ve said the same thing. This was a young man who literally had his pick of *millions* of young women... and *this* is who he picks?! I’m sorry, but the man is dumber than a box of rocks.

I think Harry's life is a tragedy, I can't imagine how painful it must have been to a mother he clearly was very attached to used and abused by a much older Prince, now King.

And then to have every heartache his mother endured published daily for everyone to read.

So now an older (which almost always means manipulative in these relationships) woman has abused his anguish for her own personal gain.

True. But he's rich. And a prince.

I would, many many times.

Many times I have been called the borderline chick whisperer

That particular one got really crazy upset if I was not at least 170%

If it wasn’t the media’s constant “THAT’S RACIST” about that Meghan board, I would NEVER think of her as “black.” Mediterranean, Greek, Lebanese, Italian. But not black. Isn’t it “THAT’S RACIST” to apply the “one drop rule?”

One would think that poor persecuted strong black woman, Meghan, would have relocated to Somalia or Eritrea where she wouldn’t be tormented by the relentless racism of the USA.
