According to Eden Gillott, the whole point of the docuseries was to allow Meghan Markle and Prince Harry a chance to tell their own story and change the narrative and from that perspective, everything seems to be going according to plan. “Backlash is expected during highly visible, high-stakes moves. To steer the media frenzy in their favor, Harry and Meghan’s best move is to deliver the media fresh material to cover,” Gillott notes. “There will be high viewership from both camps,” the expert further noted. “While Royal supporters will probably never let slip they agree with any points raised by Harry and Meghan, it doesn’t stop their side of the story from getting out there.”

One common criticism levied at the Sussexes is that it’s hypocritical to claim to value privacy and then turn around and release an intimate documentary about their personal lives. “What I would say is that for a couple that has always been incredibly protective over their privacy, the way they openly share intimate photographs, text messages and videos it is extraordinary,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Metro. But Gillott looks at this differently. “The spotlight is never easy. Harry and Meghan are now choosing to be active participants instead of being paraded around against their will,” she says.
