The first three episodes were released on Thursday.
LONDON — Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, made a sweeping indictment of Britain’s media and the racism they believe has fueled coverage of their relationship in a new Netflix series that promises to tell the “full story” of the couple’s estrangement from the royal family.
The media’s treatment of Meghan — and what the couple felt was a lack of sympathy from royal institutions about the coverage — were at the heart of their complaints when they walked away from royal life almost three years ago and moved to Southern California. Promoted with two dramatically edited trailers that hinted at a “war against Meghan,” the series “Harry & Meghan” is the couple’s latest effort to tell their story.
Netflix released the first three hour-long episodes on Thursday, with three more due Dec. 15. The program includes video diaries recorded by Meghan and Harry — apparently on their phones — in March 2020, amid the couple’s acrimonious split from the royal family. It’s “my duty to uncover the exploitation and bribery” that happens in British media, Harry says in one entry.
“We have to recognize that this is a white industry…,” he said. “So people who come up with these headlines, they are doing so in a newsroom that’s almost entirely white, and they get to decide whether something has crossed the line of being racist.” Prince William, the heir to the throne and Harry’s older brother, defended the royal family after the interview, telling reporters, “We’re very much not a racist family.”
