Watch the Harry and Meghan show, and then tell me they weren’t victims of press bigotry | Zoe Williams

Before seeing the Netflix series I thought all sides were a bit silly. But the case that the duchess endured a wave of intolerance is hard to deny

Why did Harry and Meghan make their Netflix documentary? The seismic event that was Megxit" - when the couple stepped back from royal duties, moved mainly to the US and became financially independent - was almost three years ago.

The Oprah interview, in which they addressed the explicit public and private racism that made their position untenable, was transmitted in 2021. They're out. They've left the firm. Wouldn't it be wonderful to just move on? It's a question an off-screen interviewer asks outright in Harry & Meghan. Meghan says: Books were written about our story by people I don't know. Doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?" Harry is more indignant, and to the casual bystander, the royal not-watcher, sounds whiny: We've never been allowed to tell our story."
