Meghan’s experience of racism from her husband’s family, or the psychological wounds caused by marriage. My parents’ breakup had an impact on me…

The secrets that Harry and Meghan revealed in the documentary series once caused them to receive a wave of negative feedback. 

According to Daily Mail, Prince Harry’s father and brother, King Charles III and Prince William.

Have voiced their readiness to refute any false statements appearing in Harry & Meghan.

This is a rare reaction from the British Royal Family. Right before the movie aired, Lizzie Cundy – who introduced Meghan Markle to Prince Harry – also shared that she felt regretful about this action.

Since their wedding in 2018, Meghan Markle and her husband have been estranged from her father – Mr. Thomas Markle – even though the relationship between father and daughter was previously very close. Mr. Markle was invited, but did not appear on his daughter’s big day due to many objective reasons.

The relationship between the two sides began to cool when the couple discovered that Mr. Thomas Markle had sold photos of him trying on a costume before the wedding to the paparazzi. In the film, the couple shares that they asked their father about this rumor and he denied it. But the photos still appeared later.

After this incident, Mr. Thomas Markle did not answer his two children’s phone calls and instead spoke to the press about the incident. At Harry and Meghan’s wedding, Prince Charles (now King Charles III) took on the responsibility of leading Meghan down the aisle instead of Mr. Thomas Markle.

Recalling this story, Harry said: “It was so sad. Before the wedding, she had a biological father. But now she doesn’t anymore. And I’m part of the reason. Because if Meg doesn’t choose me, it’s important.” The relationship between her and her father has not broken down.”

Prince Harry once said he asked his family to intervene when Meghan had to deal with criticism focusing on the issue of skin color during the time the two were in love. But the royal family refused.

This issue is mentioned again in the documentary that just aired. “What people need to understand is that, even though everyone in my family was worried, what she was going through was what they were going through. So the situation became something like suspicion.” How to overcome it ,” he said.

Harry continued: ” Some members of the royal family have an attitude of ‘But my wife is going through the same situation. Why does your girlfriend need to be treated differently? Why do you need help? Why does she need to be protected? And I replied ‘The difference here is the racial factor’.”

Also in this documentary, Prince Harry admitted that he used to feel scared about the possibility that Meghan would leave him because he was afraid of the nosy media. “It was the media network that drove so many people away from me . “

He confessed that he was always aware of how difficult it would be for someone like him to find a partner because he understood “the pain and suffering that women who work as royal brides have to endure”.

In an emotional moment of the film, 3-year-old Archie touched a photo of Princess Diana and said ‘Hello, Grandma’ . In 1997, Princess Diana – Harry and William’s mother – had an accident. traffic accident while being chased by paparazzi in Paris (France) and died.

When deciding to marry Meghan, Harry vowed to always put her as his top priority, avoiding his partner’s tragic fate like his mother.

“I accept that there will be many people out there who will not agree with what I did or how I did it, but I understand that I have to do everything I can to protect my family” – Prince Harry said , referring to the decision to withdraw from Royal duties in 2020.

“Especially after what happened to my mother. You know, I don’t want history to repeat itself,” he shared.

Harry went on to talk about how Meghan reminded him of his mother. The Prince said: “There are so many things about Meghan, from her personality to her behavior, that are similar to my mother. She is also compassionate, full of understanding, and has the same confidence as my mother. Her personality is very warm.”

Meghan revealed that she was shocked when she first met Prince William (then Prince William) and Kate Middleton.

She considers herself a simple and comfortable person, so she cannot immediately adapt to their formal and formal style. “The first time I met Will and Kate was when we had a dinner date. I remember wearing ripped jeans and bare feet. I like to hug and kiss, and will always hug and kiss when we meet. I didn’t admit it. “That’s too flippant for most British people.”

“I guess I started to understand pretty quickly that the outward formality had seeped into their way of thinking,” Meghan said. “People often have to brace themselves in front of people, but when you’re alone, you’ll think to yourself ‘It’s time to relax’; but that dignity is deeply ingrained in them from the inside out. That’s which surprised me,” Meghan shared.

Harry said that before Meghan became a victim of racist behavior, the first thing the royal family did not like about her was her career as an actress. “I remember the first time I met her, my family was very impressed, some people didn’t even know how to act. I think because they were surprised ,” Harry said.

“They were surprised to see that a red-haired guy could seduce such a beautiful and intelligent woman. But from the beginning, the fact that I was dating an American actor might have blinded them into thinking that ‘Oh, this girl is an American actress; it won’t be long before we break up,'” Prince Harry shared.

Meghan followed her husband: “It’s funny that they consider me being an actress to be the biggest obstacle in our relationship. From a British perspective, Hollywood is something very unfair. So there is no such thing.” No wonder they easily form prejudices like that.”

In the documentary, Harry mentioned an interview with Princess Diana conducted by Martin Bashir in 1995. During the interview, Princess Diana hinted that her marriage to Prince Charles (now King Charles ) was cramped because “our marriage consisted of three people” – implicitly referring to the affair between her husband and Camilla Parker-Bowles. Harry said his mother “spoke the truth” in this interview.

He shared that being the same children growing up in a broken family helped him and Meghan stick together. “Both of us always told ourselves we wouldn’t repeat the mistakes our parents had made.

I think most children growing up in families with divorced parents share many things in common, regardless of family background. You are pulled from one place and pushed to another, or if your parents cannot reach a mutual agreement, you will have to stay in a place you don’t want to stay longer but can only stop at a place you like for a short while.”

In addition to the first 3 episodes aired on December 8, 2022, the remaining 3 episodes of the Harry & Meghan documentary series will air on December 15. Critic writers on the film scoring site Rotten Tomatoes only gave the work 40% positive reviews.
