Harry, the purported prince who ought to know better, however, must not be forgotten. Rather of maintaining the honour of his regal heritage, he has opted to pursue a self-indulgent path alongside his spouse. Their victim narrative is what irritates me the most.
They enjoy playing the victim card, portraying themselves as helpless souls persecuted by the ruthless royal family. It's a narrative they've carefully crafted, but one that crumbles under scrutiny. How can you claim victimhood when you willingly chose to step down from your royal duties? It was a decision they made, yet they act as if they were banished against their will. And here they are, still latching onto the royal names they supposedly wanted to escape.
It's the height of hypocrisy. You can't have your cake and eat it too, Harry and Meghan. You can't distance yourselves from the royal family and then use your titles and connections when it suits your agenda. It's a blatant attempt to have the best of both worlds, and frankly, it's distasteful.
Now, let's discuss their latest endeavor, the much-hyped Netflix project. Yes, the one that was supposed to showcase their real lives, free from the constraints of royal obligations. But guess what? Even that seems to be hitting a roadblock due to the writer's strike in Hollywood. Oh, the irony. It's almost poetic justice that their attempt to stay relevant in the entertainment industry has encountered obstacles.
And what's this talk about going behind the camera? Is it an effort to show us their authentic selves? I find it hard to believe anything that comes from a couple so deeply entrenched in the culture of celebrity. Whether behind the camera or in front of it, their desperation for attention remains the same.
In their previous Netflix docuseries, they painted a picture of their struggles within the royal family. Harry spoke of the pressures of royal life and criticized the UK media. But here's the thing: none of his family members were featured. It was a one-sided narrative, carefully curated to elicit sympathy. Meghan's mother and friends made appearances, further blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
But fear not, dear viewers, for there seems to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon. The recent news of Netflix distancing themselves from the Sussexes is a welcome development. It sends a clear message that their antics won't be tolerated indefinitely. Even the entertainment industry has its standards, and it appears that even Netflix has recognized the toxicity of associating with this troublesome duo.
