Kate expressed discomfort and criticized Harry for his perceived arrogance and thoughtlessness. Many speculate that Meghan's influence might be behind this approach, with a desire to claim everything associated with the royal family.
Deja Vu seems to be a recurring theme in this line of work, as we've only recently endured the nearly six-hour ordeal of watching Harry and Meghan's debut Netflix series. Now, the Duke is back on camera and back on the streaming platform, seemingly intent on portraying the royal family as outdated and ineffective.
The release of the "Heart of Invictus" documentary series, consisting of five episodes, delves into the 2022 Invictus Games in The Hague and the personal journeys of a select group of competitors. Brace yourself, as watching "Heart of Invictus" is an emotional rollercoaster, prompting tears and teary-eyed moments. Ukrainian volunteer medic Yulia Taira payevska's footage from the frontline field hospital is particularly powerful and haunting.
However, what's conspicuously absent from "Heart of Invictus" is any meaningful exploration of the role of the royal family and Harry's own involvement. If you were to watch this series without any prior knowledge, you'd come away with the impression that it was all the brainchild of Harry, a man with children and dogs, who decided to create the Invictus Games.
The series largely glosses over the fundamental part the royal family played in the Invictus story and Harry's membership within it. There's hardly a mention of the words "royal family" or "monarchy" throughout the documentary. It almost seems as if the entire initiative was solely attributed to Harry, with no acknowledgment of the broader royal support.
In Episode 2, there are snippets of Harry giving speeches at veterans' mental health conferences and hosting Buckingham Palace garden parties for veterans' associations. Yet, the royal connection is never emphasized.
The series might lead viewers to believe that it was Harry alone who championed the cause of mental health within the royal family, leaving out any context of collective support or contributions from other members. It raises questions about the documentary's omission of the royal family's role and its portrayal of Harry as a solitary figure carrying the torch for these causes.
