Prince Harry declines to comment on whether he’ll attend King Charles' coronation

Prince Harry may have alleged that his father King Charles and the royal family have shown no sign of reconciliation in an upcoming interview, but sources close to the King have reportedly said&nbsp;he is ready to patch up with his younger son.&nbsp; 
 
A Telegraph article states that King Charles wants to keep the communication channel open for Harry. "Those close to the king insist that he has always made clear how much he loves both of his sons, keeping communication channels open throughout the last few years, despite the many barbs from California," the British daily reported Tuesday, citing sources. 
 
Prince Harry will appear in two tell-all interviews this upcoming weekend. In one of them, Harry stated&nbsp;he wants his brother and father "back." The Duke of Sussex even alleged that stories were planted as he and his wife, Meghan Markle, attempted to step back from royal duties. Both interviews will be aired on January 8, ahead of the release of his memoir, 'Spare', on January 10.&nbsp; 
 
He will be speaking with ITV`s Tom Bradby as well as Anderson Cooper for his first US interview on '60 Minutes'. In a promo clip for his ITV interview, Harry is seen saying, "They`ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile." 
 
"I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back," he added of King Charles and Prince William. He also said&nbsp;"they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains," though it was not clear who he was referring to. 
 
In a new one-minute segment shared by CBS News when Cooper asked Harry about his decision to go public as he stepped away from the royal family, he touched upon leaked stories by the palace. "Every single time I've tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leaking and planting of stories against me and my wife," said Harry. 
 
Previously, Harry made similar bombshell claims about the palace covering for other royal members in the couple's latest Netflix docuseries, 'Harry &amp; Meghan'.&nbsp;

King Charles is open to reconciliation with Prince Harry: Reports

Prince Harry continues to drop explosive details of his fight with elder brother Prince William and the “institution” (read British monarchy) ahead of the release of his memoir “Spare”. In a passage from the memoir, which is now going viral, it’s mentioned that Prince William hit Harry and pushed him to the floor after describing the latter's wife as “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”.&nbsp;

Prince Harry said that he tried to get William a glass of water, but instead, he “came at me.” 
“It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripped my necklace, and knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out,” said Prince Harry in the passage.&nbsp;

William then left and said, “You don’t need to tell Meg about this.”

Harry then writes that Meghan Markle, his wife, noticed the “scrapes and bruises” and she “was terribly sad.”

Harry’s memoir comes out on January 10. In a statement, he said that he is “excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”

Harry and Meghan have levelled a lot of allegations against William and their family ever since their Netflix documentary premiered. It’s expected that there will be more on the way as Harry plans to sit down with Anderson Cooper and ITV’s Tom Bradby for broadcast interviews. These interviews will air on January 8. The date, as most would know, is symbolic in the couple’s lives as they announced three years ago that they would be stepping back as working members of the royal family.

Fresh trouble for Harry and Meghan? New poll after explosive Netflix series

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to face flak for their Netflix docuseries 'Harry and Meghan.'&nbsp;In the two-part docuseries, which was released on the streaming platform in December, the couple shared some extremely personal moments from their life, how media and paparazzi have plagued their lives, and accused Prince William of rude behaviour, among other things.

A recent poll conducted by YouGov in the UK on behalf of The Times found that almost half of Brits who are surveyed want the Duke to be stripped off his royal title. As per the poll, 44% of the people think Harry&nbsp;should be stripped off the title, while 32% feel that there is no need to take his title back.

Before the docuseries was aired, a royal source revealed that the couple could be stripped off their princely titles if they continued to make allegations against the royal family. 
 
"Charles will be very cautious of repeating the mistakes made with Diana.&nbsp;When she was stripped of her HRH after the divorce, it fed into her narrative that the palace was a vindictive and cruel establishment. Imagine if they did something similar to Harry. He would be able to go on Oprah all over again and say, 'They did it to my mother, and now they are doing it to me.' It would completely play into their victim narrative," the palace source was quoted as saying. 
 
Reacting to The Times poll, Tom Quinn, author of Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir from Queen Mary to Meghan&nbsp;Markle, said: "I’m only surprised that the documentary didn’t do more damage to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."

He further added, "I found it painful to watch—it made you realise they are lost souls.&nbsp;It is extraordinary that they feel this will somehow improve things for them.''

Should Prince Harry be stripped of his royal title? Half of Brits think, yes!

The royal family will have a difficult Christmas as the late Queen, who died away earlier this year, will undoubtedly be missed the most. The Sussex family will also be missing this year's celebrations. The children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Archie and Lilibet, will remain in California rather than go to the Sandringham estate of the Prince and Princess of Wales and King Charles next week.

Amid this, news of what Kate Middleton gifted Prince Harry one Christmas when he was unmarried is becoming the talk of the town. One year, his sister-in-law Kate is thought to have given him a joke gift that was a bit weird, but was well received. It happened before Harry and Meghan started dating, and Harry was single after a succession of prominent romances. So what exactly did Kate give him as a gift? It was a kit for "growing your own girlfriend."

And to add to the humour, the entire family gathered to open Christmas presents together, so the late Queen would have been present when Harry did the same.&nbsp;As King Charles celebrates the first holiday season of his reign, Kate will spend Christmas in Sandringham with Prince William, George, Charlotte, and Prince Louis. As the royals prepare for their first Christmas after the Queen's passing, it is going to be a difficult time for them.

What did Kate Middleton gift Prince Harry one Christmas?

Britain’s royal family stuck to routine and remained silent Friday over the second half of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-harry--meghan-is-biggest-debut-for-a-documentary-title-on-netflix-542987"> documentary series</a>,&nbsp;which made hard-hitting claims against Harry’s brother, Prince William.

While the first half of the six-part Netflix series concentrated on the couple’s bruising encounters with the British media, the final three episodes aimed criticism at the royal “firm” – the family and its staff.

In three hour-long episodes released Thursday, Harry claimed William screamed at him during a family meeting and accused palace officials of lying to protect his elder sibling, who is now heir to the throne. Meghan talked about wanting to end her life as she struggled to cope with toxic press coverage.

Harry, a grandson of the late Queen Elizabeth II, married U.S. actress Meghan Markle in a fairy-tale wedding at Windsor Castle in 2018. Less than two years later the couple left Britain, citing what they saw as the media’s racist treatment of Meghan and a lack of support from the palace.

In the documentary Harry, 38, said William lashed out at him during a family summit at Sandringham Castle in January 2020 to talk about the couple’s plan to step down as senior royals.

“It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren’t true. And my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there and take it all in,” Harry said.

He also accused royal communications officials of “leaking” and “planting” stories in the media, claiming staff would seek to deflect negative coverage of one royal by issuing a story about another member of the family.

Meghan, 41, revealed she thought about killing herself amid a torrent of negative media coverage before the couple decided to make a break with the royal household.

“It was like ‘All of this will stop if I am not here,’” she said.

Harry added that he believed the Mail on Sunday’s publication of a letter Meghan wrote her estranged father — over which she successfully sued the paper’s publisher — contributed to her having a miscarriage in 2020.

Neither Buckingham Palace, which represents the king, nor William’s Kensington Palace office has commented on the series.

There were no dissenting views in the documentary, which included interviews with the couple and supportive friends and commentators.

Royal expert Pauline Maclarnan, author of “Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture,” said the relationship between William and Harry would be “very hard to repair” after the bombshell claims.

“This does seem to be very final,” she said.

Hours after the final episodes were released, senior royals put on a show of unity, attending a Christmas charity concert in London on Thursday evening. William, his wife Kate and their two elder children, George and Charlotte, were joined at the Westminster Abbey carol concert by King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla and other family members.

British newspapers, the focus of much of the couple’s ire, were furious about the series. The Daily Mail said in an editorial that “the only saving grace” was that Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September, “was spared seeing this tawdry exercise in self-promotion.”

The Sun branded Harry a “traitor,” contrasting him with “dutiful” William.

The Times of London urged Meghan and Harry to give up their royal titles, Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“Harry and Meghan must see the hypocrisy of claiming still to be royal,” the newspaper said in an editorial. “They have made clear that they consider themselves to be at war with the institution of monarchy, an institution that they appear to hold in contempt.”

The show comes at a crucial moment for the monarchy. The king is trying to show that the institution still has a role to play after the death in September of his mother, whose personal popularity dampened criticism of the crown during her 70-year reign.

While the Netlfix series has soured the couple’s relationship with the royal family — perhaps irreparably — Maclarnan said it would likely help the couple forge their new careers as U.S.-based charity campaigners and media personalities.

“I think it will have built their brand quite well,” she said. “I think a lot of people will see their perspective more, but particularly (the) younger generation. And I think really that’s where they’ve always aimed anyway.”

Britain’s royal family stuck to routine and remained silent Friday over the second half of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s documentary series, which made hard-hitting claims against Harry’s brother, Prince William. While the first half of the six-part Netflix series concentrated on the couple’s bruising encounters with the British media, the final three episodes aimed criticism at the royal “firm” – the family and its staff. Also Read: `Harry & Meghan` is biggest debut for a documentary title on Netflix In three hour-long episodes released Thursday, Harry claimed William screamed at him during a family meeting and accused palace officials of lying to protect his elder sibling, who is now heir to the throne. Meghan talked about wanting to end her life as she struggled to cope with toxic press coverage. Harry, a grandson of the late Queen Elizabeth II, married U.S. actress Meghan Markle in a fairy-tale wedding at Windsor Castle in 2018. Less than two years later the couple left Britain, citing what they saw as the media’s racist treatment of Meghan and a lack of support from the palace. In the documentary Harry, 38, said William lashed out at him during a family summit at Sandringham Castle in January 2020 to talk about the couple’s plan to step down as senior royals. “It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren’t true. And my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there and take it all in,” Harry said. He also accused royal communications officials of “leaking” and “planting” stories in the media, claiming staff would seek to deflect negative coverage of one royal by issuing a story about another member of the family. Meghan, 41, revealed she thought about killing herself amid a torrent of negative media coverage before the couple decided to make a break with the royal household. “It was like ‘All of this will stop if I am not here,’” she said. Harry added that he believed the Mail on Sunday’s publication of a letter Meghan wrote her estranged father — over which she successfully sued the paper’s publisher — contributed to her having a miscarriage in 2020. Neither Buckingham Palace, which represents the king, nor William’s Kensington Palace office has commented on the series. There were no dissenting views in the documentary, which included interviews with the couple and supportive friends and commentators. Royal expert Pauline Maclarnan, author of “Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture,” said the relationship between William and Harry would be “very hard to repair” after the bombshell claims. “This does seem to be very final,” she said.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Christmas card is here!

In the latest episodes of 'Harry and Meghan', Prince Harry put the blame squarely on the media for his wife Meghan Markles' miscarriage.&nbsp;

Harry made the comments in the final episodes of the six-part docuseries, which aired on Netflix on Thursday.&nbsp;

Episodes four, five, and six highlighted the couple's wedding, gave a glimpse at their reception, and spoke of Meghan's deteriorating mental health and her 2020 miscarriage, and ultimately their decision to quit as working members of the family. 
 
In the final episode, Meghan opened up about the miscarriage she suffered from in July 2020. She cited key stressors in her life at the time, including moving into their new home in Santa Barbara, California, issues with her father, and unrelenting media coverage.

"I was pregnant. I really wasn't sleeping. The first morning that we woke up in our new home is when I miscarried,” Meghan said. 
Harry added, “I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did,” referencing Britain’s Mail on Sunday.&nbsp; 
In 2019, the newspaper published a private letter Meghan sent to her father, Thomas Markle. The Duchess of Sussex later won a legal battle against the newspaper’s publisher. 
 
"I watched the whole thing,” Harry continued, “Now, do we absolutely know the miscarriage was created, caused by that? Of course we don’t. But bearing in mind the stress that that caused, the lack of sleep and the timing of the pregnancy, how many weeks in she was, I can say, from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her." 
 
Depression and suicidal thoughts 
 
The series also saw Meghan speaking about her depression and revealing how she struggled with suicidal thoughts amid all the bad press around her and her father's relationship.&nbsp; 
 
"All of this will stop if I’m not here. And that was the scariest thing about it, it was such clear thinking,” Meghan said at one point.&nbsp; 
Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland too said how it “really broke” her heart when Meghan told her she wanted to take her own life.

“To just constantly be picked at by these vultures, just picking away at her spirit, that she would actually think about not wanting to be here … that’s not an easy one for a mom to hear you know. And I can’t protect her. H (Harry) can’t protect her,” Ragland added. 
Harry also admitted that he didn’t deal with Meghan’s deteriorating mental health well in the beginning.&nbsp; 
“I knew she was struggling; we were both struggling, but I never thought it would get to that stage. The fact it got to that stage I felt angry and ashamed,” Harry recounted, adding, “I dealt with it as institutional Harry as opposed to husband Harry.”

Meghan stated that she thought she would seek help but wasn't allowed as there were concerns about how it would affect the institution's image.&nbsp;

Prince Harry blames media for wife Meghan Markle's miscarriage in 2020

Netflix opens up 'Meghan and Harry' with the formal British royals decked up like their contemporaries. In sharp jet blue overcoats, the Sussexes are shown performing choreographed hugs with school kids for the grand pretence of 'modern monarchy' despite the in-built contradiction between modernity and monarchy when placed next to each other. As Meghan Markle hints about her moments of self-harm citing what she was going through while she and Harry were pregnant with their first child, the documentary appears to be moving on to the path of addressing some&nbsp;tough questions: exploitation, racism, subjugation and generational trauma associated with all of these.&nbsp;

In the next frame, with an overlaying drone shot of Buckingham Palace, a former worshipping place of slavery, Harry says, "I feel as though being part of this family, it is my duty to uncover this exploitation..." There is a brief pause in Harry's speech at 'exploitation'.&nbsp;

To a second-generation Indian person born after the dissolution of British India into present-day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, Harry's specific emphasis on 'exploitation' was triggering. It appeared as if the impossible was happening on the canvas of a globalised entertainment platform. Was Harry going to address the colonial exploits of his ancestors and its legacy in the non-European nations of 'Empire'? Extreme poverty, low life expectancy or anything remotely similar to the real 'commonwealth' legacy which is anything but glorious?&nbsp;

Alas! Harry's completion of his sentence after "exploitation" laid out the charter of documentary for the rest of its episodes as a glorified Public Relations exercise that it was going to be.

"I feel as though being part of this family, it is my duty to uncover this exploitation (Harry takes a pause)..."&nbsp;

"...And bribery that happens within our media," he said.

Harry's exploitation pause is emblematic of British moral bankruptcy when it comes to addressing every prevailing matter under the sun&nbsp;but Britain's imperial past. To pop culture, the portrayal of British tabloidism and the Royal family's perceived mistreatment of Meghan and Harry may be held as important if not significant. But to history, their current Netflix outing is a futile exercise in self-glorification.&nbsp;

If Harry's failure to address, if not apologise, for Britain's colonial crimes was another leaf off the book of royal ignorance for the roots of their royalty, Meghan's failure to address the same represents a moment in history when generational trauma about colonial exploits is being brushed under the carpet.&nbsp;

Meghan said that during the time she played Rachel Zane in NBC's 'Suits', she would visit India in hiatus. "I was writing op-eds about&nbsp;self-worth and about being biracial and volunteer work." Doesn't being biracial consist of a fundamental understanding of generational subjugation by colonialism?&nbsp;

To societies where an individual's self worth is derived as much personally as it is from family members and generations before them, Meghan Markle's&nbsp;depiction of self-worth alongside an intentional ignorance of colonialism represents a revelatory moment of disappointment in today's hyper-connected world.

Given the outsized role Britain played in disseminating racism around the world with its colonialism and slavery exploits, even a six-episodes long exercise for ‘setting the record straight’ – without any apologetic reckoning for Britain’s colonial past – is a royal PR effort dead at arrival.

Harry & Meghan documentary: Netflix voyage without colonial reckoning is a PR exercise dead on arrival

Prince Harry looked set to turn his fire on his brother William on Thursday, as Netflix airs the final episodes of the docuseries about the disgruntled royal and his wife Meghan.

One trailer for the last three instalments of "Harry &amp; Meghan", released last week, already escalated the row between the brothers, who are reportedly now no longer on speaking terms.

In an apparent reference to Buckingham Palace, Harry, 38, accused his family of "institutional gaslighting" and claimed they were "happy to lie to protect my brother but were never willing to tell the truth to protect us".

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/prince-and-meghan-royal-saga-heres-everything-the-couple-has-revealed-in-their-netflix-documentary-541505">Harry and Meghan's royal saga! All the big revelations made in their Netflix series</a>

Another trailer, released on Wednesday saw Meghan's lawyer, Jenny Afia, alleging a briefing war against the couple by the palace "to suit other people's agendas".

Meghan's friend Lucy Fraser added: "Meg became this scapegoat for the palace.

"And so they would feed stories on her whether they were true or not to avoid other less favourable stories being printed."

Afia said the "barrage of negative articles" about the breakdown of Meghan's relationship with her father was "the final straw in a campaign of negative, nasty coverage about her".&nbsp;

Harry and Meghan, 41, sensationally quit royal life in early 2020 and moved to North America, from where they have launched a series of broadsides about the royal family.

In the first three episodes released last Thursday, the couple -- also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex -- criticised the royal family for "unconscious" racial bias.

They accused the palace of failing to protect Meghan and Harry's mother Diana against tabloid excesses.

Most of their criticisms were directed at the media.

But direct mention of William, 40, in the latest trailer confirmed suspicions that the more pointed criticisms may have been saved for last.

Daily Mail royal correspondent Rebecca English said "the gloves are off" while her counterpart at ITV, Chris Ship, said, "It's getting dirty."

Suggestions that his brother and his entourage were to blame for the negative coverage that Harry and Meghan received was "a dramatic escalation", he added.

Business as usual' -

So far the palace has declined to respond to the programme and disputed claims by Netflix that they were approached to comment on the contents of the series.

Senior royals, led by Harry's father King Charles III, are expected to attend a Christmas carol concert on Thursday in a demonstration of "business as usual".

But commentators suggested they may be forced to act if criticism gets personal, as Harry and Meghan faced calls to give up their royal titles -- or have them removed.

Last week, Harry appeared to take a dig at his older brother and his wife Catherine.

"With many people in the family, especially the men, there can be a temptation or an urge to marry someone who would fit in the mould," he said.

Netflix said last week's episodes recorded 81.55 million viewing hours globally -- "the highest view hours of any documentary title in a premiere week".

Several British newspapers said the docuseries was an effective declaration of "war" by the couple.

They have already faced claims of trying to sabotage William's first trip to the United States as heir with the release of the first trailer.

A December 9 YouGov poll indicated that the docuseries, which comes three months after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, had further dented Harry and Meghan's popularity in the UK.

Harry and Meghan saw their negative ratings with the British public fall to -26 percent and -39 percent after the programmes, from -13 percent and -32 percent before.

Only Harry's disgraced uncle Prince Andrew, who earlier this year settled a US civil claim for sexual assault out of court without admitting liability, was less popular.&nbsp;

He had a -79 percent rating.

Harry and Meghan, 41, sensationally quit royal life in early 2020 and moved to North America, from where they have launched a series of broadsides about the royal family. In the first three episodes released last Thursday, the couple -- also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex -- criticised the royal family for "unconscious" racial bias. They accused the palace of failing to protect Meghan and Harry's mother Diana against tabloid excesses. Most of their criticisms were directed at the media. But direct mention of William, 40, in the latest trailer confirmed suspicions that the more pointed criticisms may have been saved for last. Daily Mail royal correspondent Rebecca English said "the gloves are off" while her counterpart at ITV, Chris Ship, said, "It's getting dirty." Suggestions that his brother and his entourage were to blame for the negative coverage that Harry and Meghan received was "a dramatic escalation", he added. Business as usual' - So far the palace has declined to respond to the programme and disputed claims by Netflix that they were approached to comment on the contents of the series. Senior royals, led by Harry's father King Charles III, are expected to attend a Christmas carol concert on Thursday in a demonstration of "business as usual". But commentators suggested they may be forced to act if criticism gets personal, as Harry and Meghan faced calls to give up their royal titles -- or have them removed. Last week, Harry appeared to take a dig at his older brother and his wife Catherine. "With many people in the family, especially the men, there can be a temptation or an urge to marry someone who would fit in the mould," he said. Netflix said last week's episodes recorded 81.55 million viewing hours globally -- "the highest view hours of any documentary title in a premiere week". Several British newspapers said the docuseries was an effective declaration of "war" by the couple. They have already faced claims of trying to sabotage William's first trip to the United States as heir with the release of the first trailer. A December 9 YouGov poll indicated that the docuseries, which comes three months after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, had further dented Harry and Meghan's popularity in the UK. Harry and Meghan saw their negative ratings with the British public fall to -26 percent and -39 percent after the programmes, from -13 percent and -32 percent before. Only Harry's disgraced uncle Prince Andrew, who earlier this year settled a US civil claim for sexual assault out of court without admitting liability, was less popular. He had a -79 percent rating.

'Gloves off' as Prince Harry takes aim at brother in Netflix series

If Volume I of 'Harry and Meghan' docuseries was about the toxic media culture, it seems Volume II of the Netflix documentary on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will spill some truth bombs about the British royal family. The second trailer of the series dropped on social media on Monday and gave a glimpse of what's in store for Thursday's episodes. 
 
In the clip, the 38-year-old Prince Harry is seen speaking to the camera as he reflects on how he and his wife Meghan Markle struggled with the British tabloids targeting them.&nbsp; 
 
Harry also claimed that he and the former American actress were treated differently from his older brother, Prince William.

At one point in the trailer, Harry says, "I wonder what would’ve happened to us had we not got out when we did." 
 
“Our security was being pulled. Everyone in the world knew where we were,” Meghan added.

“I said ‘We need to get out of here,’” Harry added, indicating he made the call despite many media outlets framing it as 'Megexit.'

But perhaps the most jarring line came as Harry highlighted the way the Palace handled stories about his brother Prince William versus him.

“To see this institutional gaslighting…” Harry began. “I wasn’t being thrown to the wolves. I was being fed to the wolves,” Meghan said.&nbsp;

“They were happy to lie to protect my brother,” Harry said, seemingly referring to the palace and its communications team. “They were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.”

He added later in the trailer, “I’ve always felt as though this was a fight worth fighting for.”&nbsp;

The first three episodes of 'Harry &amp; Meghan' were released online on Netflix on December 8. The couple had mostly blamed the media for hounding them during their time in the royal family. They also spoke about how they met, their early lives as kids growing up in very different backgrounds.&nbsp; 
 
The second volume of 'Harry &amp; Meghan' will release on December 15.&nbsp;

King Charles releases first Christmas card as a monarch

Racism. Check. Blaming the media. check. Speaking in pronouns about the British royal family. Check. &nbsp;Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new docu-series 'Harry &amp; Meghan,'&nbsp;which had unsettled the British press and reportedly even the royal family with just a trailer, premiered the first three episodes on Netflix on Thursday. Considering the hype around the show, I'd hoped that the couple would perhaps go all out in narrating their story on why they decided to step away from the family (they kept calling it the institution throughout the show). But the first three episodes (each an hour long) did not offer anything new. The couple did not mention anything that we already didn't know about the British royal family or even the paparazzi culture in the UK.

At one point in the first episode, Meghan Markle says, “When the stakes were this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?” And what did we get to know from them? That they had a whirlwind romance that spanned over two continents, that they had first checked each other out on Instagram, and that they loved documenting their meets, dates, walks, and family time like most millennial couples do in the age of social media. Wow, such a big revelation!

The couple spoke in vague pronouns while mentioning the royal family and the media blurring the lines on who they were really putting the blame on. That British media and the royal family have had a love-hate relationship over decades is a known fact. Harry only reiterated it once again, recalling how his mother, the late Princess Diana had fallen prey to it and how he felt the need to protect his family from the same toxic behaviour.

Ironically, it is the same media that's helped the royal family to build an image and create a bridge with the public over the years carefully brushing past its horrifying colonising history. In an era where monarchy the world over is in redundancy, the curiosity and craze around the British royal family continue - primarily because it is fuelled by the media.

Unfortunately, Meghan and Harry have had a very public life- both individually and as a couple. Had Meghan not married Harry, she perhaps would have continued a career in showbusiness which again is aided to a great extent by the media. The two feed off each other.

There's no doubt that the press has been vile on many occasions towards Meghan Markle. Especially bringing unnecessary details about her dysfunctional family in the US, to public focus in the UK. When the couple made the hard decision to step out of the royal family to live a life away from the public eye, I, like many felt it was rather a brave move on their part, especially Harry's. A man who was a product of a broken marriage, but who was shielded by wealth, comfort, and royalty - Harry did take a brave step to move to the US, away from the shadows of his prominent family, attempting to create his own identity. But in the past two years, the only time Harry and Meghan have made headlines is when they have dragged or blamed the British royal family. They are feeding off their past glory, isn't it?

The couple has also had a rather public life post-Megxit. A deal with Netflix, a podcast, books and memoirs, and a life that cannot really be called private, Harry and Meghan are still very much part of the public discourse. So much for wanting privacy.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/prince-and-meghan-royal-saga-heres-everything-the-couple-has-revealed-in-their-netflix-documentary-541505/#media-scrutiny-541475">In pics:&nbsp;Harry and Meghan royal saga! Everything big revealed in their Netflix docuseries</a>

The three episodes also highlighted how Meghan, who is of mixed parentage, was made aware of her colour post-marriage by 'them'. Meghan pointed out how her colour was not a matter of concern for her until she married Harry. The couple had spoken about facing racism in the royal family during a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. Back then they had not specified who that member was who had raised concerns about their son, Archie's skin colour. A year down the line, when so much has been written about their accusations, they still steered clear of naming anyone. So how was this really an explosive docu-series?

Harry and Meghan also appeared tone deaf in the addressal of racism and discrimination. Harry comes from a family that had for centuries colonized half of the world. They may have redeemed themselves over the years with carefully curated images in the public eye but the fact of the matter is that the family still hasn't ever openly addressed the horrific past or the grievous mistakes the ancestors had made in so many of the countries. While the episodes do touch upon the family's colonising history, Brexit which made Britain even more secluded, and racial injustice, it never really had Harry talk about the stoic silence that the family maintained all throughout.

The hype around the docuseries also speaks a lot about the audience and the media which has for decades hyped up an establishment that needs to be completely redundant in modern times. Monarchy is dead and so should the interest in royal families. Maybe it is time to introspect- why can't we shrug off our own colonial past and ignore the royal family? I am all for cheering Harry and Meghan if they bring social change to society, but why is it needed to get into details of a family and its internal problems?&nbsp;

'Harry & Meghan' docuseries does not say anything that we already don't know

Much-awaited Netflix documentary series about Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan were first released on December 1. Harry drew comparisons between how papers had treated Meghan. Buckingham Palace said it would not be commenting on the series.

UK Royals brace for Netflix documentary series fallout

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be stripped of their princely titles if they continue to make allegations against the royal family, claims a palace source. This comes ahead of the release of the couple’s much-talked- about Netflix show.&nbsp;

Meghan Markle could lose her princess title, if the King wills. This could be modelled over how the late Queen asked the couple to stop using HRH (His or Her Royal Highness) titles. They were also asked not to use the word “royal” in any commercial branding.&nbsp;

The palace source was quoted, “Charles will be very cautious of repeating the mistakes made with Diana. When she was stripped of her HRH after the divorce, it fed into her narrative that the palace was a vindictive and cruel establishment. Imagine if they did something similar to Harry. He would be able to go on Oprah all over again and say, ‘They did it to my mother and now they are doing it to me.’ It would completely play into their victim narrative.”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-former-buckingham-palace-staff-slams-harry--meghan-docu-series-its-all-a-game-for-her-541225">Former Buckingham Palace staff slams 'Harry &amp; Meghan' docu-series: 'It's all a game for her'</a>

Netflix series controversy: Meghan, Harry could lose princely status

It's been almost three years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left their roles as senior members of the British royal family and settled in the US with their children, yet the controversy and drama around their exit continue to grab the headlines.&nbsp; 
 
Their latest docu-series on Netflix, which was released on Netflix on Thursday is being touted as an explosive one and reports claim the show is bound to further the gap between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the royal family.&nbsp; 
 
A former employee at Buckingham Palace has brewed up fresh controversy against the upcoming docu-series of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. 
As per The New York Post, the employee, who claimed to be bullied by Markle, reached out to the British monarchy to fire back at the allegations made in the upcoming docu-series, 'Harry &amp; Meghan'. 
 
In an interview with the Times, the employee said that the only way the allegations can be cleared is through the removal of restrictions in the non-disclosure agreements of the staff. 
 
"The only way to end it once for good is for us to be allowed to speak, and for the palace to firmly reject their lies," The New York Post quoted the former employee.&nbsp;"It's emotionally draining. It feels like there`s no end to it," the employee added. 
 
In the one-minute trailer for the docu-series released on Netflix, Prince Harry was heard saying, "There`s a hierarchy of the family....You know, there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories. No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth". 
 
The former employee responded back saying, "They always use vague terms 'the truth,' 'my truth,' but nothing concrete is said."&nbsp; 
 
The ex-staff added that Markle conveyed her side of stories through journalist Omid Scobie. 
 
"She knows we can't financially protect ourselves by going to court, so she keeps pushing. It`s all a game for her. And she is loving it. I certainly have chosen to remain silent out of respect for the crown, but if they keep attacking us and our characters, reputation, et cetera, we need to feel we are equally supported by the royal family."&nbsp;

Former Buckingham Palace staff slams 'Harry & Meghan' docu-series: 'It's all a game for her'

Harry and Meghan attended the Ripple of Hope Award Gala in New York. Both received the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award. The couple was awarded for their work in racial justice and mental health.

Harry and Meghan dazzle on the red carpet of Ripple of Hope Award Gala

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle glowed on the red carpet as they attended the 2022 Ripple of Hope Award Gala on Tuesday night in New York City. The couple were honoured with the Ripple of Hope Award by the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights organisation for speaking about racism in British Royal Family and their philanthropic work through their Archwell Foundation.&nbsp; 
 
The couple's appearance was important as it happened amid controversies around their upcoming Netflix documentary.&nbsp; 
 
Markle was seen in an off-the-shoulder white dress as she held Harry's hand as they made their way through the crowd into the gala. Harry was dressed in a black suit with a skinny black tie as he held an umbrella and guided Markle into the venue. 
 
The Ripple of Hope Award has been given out to numerous leaders for the last 50 years. The award is given to those leaders in "government, business, advocacy, and entertainment" who have committed to "social change." 
 
"At the helm of major corporations, this year's laureates have prioritized equity, inclusivity, and sustainability in the workplace and the world," the organisation's website state.&nbsp;

Harry and Markle were picked to receive the award this year in "recognition of their work on racial justice, mental health, and other social impact initiatives through their Archewell Foundation." 
 
"When The Duke and Duchess accepted our award laureate invitation back in March, we were thrilled. The couple has always stood out for their willingness to speak up and change the narrative on racial justice and mental health around the world," Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle glowed on the red carpet as they attended the 2022 Ripple of Hope Award Gala on Tuesday night in New York City. The couple were honoured with the Ripple of Hope Award by the Robert F.

The couple's appearance was important as it happened amid controversies around their upcoming Netflix documentary. Markle was seen in an off-the-shoulder white dress as she held Harry's hand as they made their way through the crowd into the gala. Harry was dressed in a black suit with a skinny black tie as he held an umbrella and guided Markle into the venue. The Ripple of Hope Award has been given out to numerous leaders for the last 50 years. The award is given to those leaders in "government, business, advocacy, and entertainment" who have committed to "social change." "At the helm of major corporations, this year's laureates have prioritized equity, inclusivity, and sustainability in the workplace and the world," the organisation's website state. Harry and Markle were picked to receive the award this year in "recognition of their work on racial justice, mental health, and other social impact initiatives through their Archewell Foundation." "When The Duke and Duchess accepted our award laureate invitation back in March, we were thrilled. The couple has always stood out for their willingness to speak up and change the narrative on racial justice and mental health around the world," Kerry Kennedy, president of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights and Robert F Kennedy's daughter, said in a statement. She continued, "They embody the type of moral courage that my father once called the 'one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.'"

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle honoured in US for speaking about royal family racism

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix documentary has run into troubled waters even before its release. The trailer of the film was unveiled last week which had a shot of the couple being swamped by the paparazzi.&nbsp; 
 
Recent reports claim that the shot of the paps was "fake". The shot shows dozens of cameramen packed together and reports state that it is actually taken from a Harry Potter premiere in London long before Harry and Meghan had even met each other.

The Sun's photographer Doug Seeburg was reportedly captured in the photo while attending the July 2011 premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at Trafalgar Square. The photo was used before the Duke of Sussex said in the trailer, “I had to do everything I could to protect my family” in a voice-over. 
 
Many have pointed out that it was a careless error from Netflix and stated that the image was found to be the first search result under “paparazzi” on the stock image site Alamy. 
 
“I don’t imagine Harry would have realised, but Netflix have been careless here as it weakens Harry’s comment about protecting his family," author and royal expert &nbsp;Ingrid Seward said.&nbsp; 
 
The Sun photographer recalled that “It was a huge event. Crowds and crowds of fans had turned out in the rain and camped overnight to see the actors. There were no members of the royal family there,” he said. 
 
The news comes amid reports that state Prince William has vowed to hit back at any swipes that Harry and Meghan make in the documentary against the royal family.&nbsp;

Prince Harry dresses up as Spider-Man for his special Christmas message

The first teaser for 'Harry &amp; Meghan' is out. The Netflix documentary series delves deep into the relationship of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and their controversial decision to step back from their duties as royals. Directed by American documentarian Liz Garbus, the series will tell the story in six parts.

The teaser begins with someone, presumably Garbus, asking the question "Why did you want to make this documentary?" Candid images of Harry and Meghan vacationing and just chilling together flash on the screen as Harry responds, "No one's seen what's happened behind closed doors."

We see images of Meghan crying while holding a phone, she and Harry sitting discomfited behind Camilla Parker (now the Queen Consort), Prince William, the current heir to the throne, and Kate Middleton, the current Princess of Wales.

"I had to do everything I could, to protect my family," adds Harry. Visuals show the respective childhoods of both.

Meghan chimes in, "When the stakes were this high, doesn't it make sense to hear our story from us?" as though to point out virulent coverage of the events, particularly in the conservative British press.

If this documentary promises one thing apart from Harry and Meghan's side of the story, it's thoroughness. There have been documentaries before, but never from Harry and Meghan's perspective, and never a series.&nbsp;

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey may have widened their gap with the British royal family, but the claims that the couple made in that interview has now reportedly fetched him a prestigious human rights award.&nbsp; 
 
Harry and Meghan will receive the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights award for their fight against racial injustice within the royal institution, a report on El Confidencial claims. The royal couple will receive the Ripple of Hope award on December 6.

The family moved to the US in early 2021.&nbsp; 
 
Without naming anyone, the couple had some members of the family fretting over Archie's skin tone ahead of his birth. Meghan is African American and the first person of colour to marry into the royal family. 
 
Kenny Kennedy, a human rights activist specified in an interview with the Spanish publication El Confidencial why they had decided to honour Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.&nbsp; 
 
"They went to the oldest institution in UK history and told them what they were doing wrong, that they couldn't have structural racism within the institution; that they could not maintain a misunderstanding about mental health," Kenny Kennedy told the publication. &nbsp;

"They knew that if they did this there would be consequences, that they would be ostracized, they would lose their family, their position within this structure, and that people would blame them for it," she added. "They have done it anyway because they believed they couldn't live with themselves if they didn't question this authority."&nbsp;

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle win award for speaking about racism within the British royal family

Several media reports seem to suggest that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have had an agreement of sorts to keep their roles away from the final season of 'The Crown'.&nbsp; 
 
The show's season 5 is set to premiere later this month on the OTT platform and will talk of tumultuous marriage and subsequent divorce of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana.&nbsp;

The upcoming series of 'The Crown' has been criticized for its dramatization of real-life events, but Meghan and Harry have reportedly chosen to still work with Netflix to produce their series. 
 
Markle confirmed earlier that a series was in the making after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted on several occasions with film crews in tow. The two will be part of a docuseries that will reportedly tell their side of the story.&nbsp; 
 
However, royal commentator Jonathan Sacerdoti spoke to a news daily about the arrangement between the OTT platform and the couple and said, "I do wonder if one of the reasons that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven't taken a firm stand with Netflix by refusing to make their series is it didn't change that sort of approach towards 'The Crown.' 
 
"I wonder if it might be some sort of arranged deal, spoken or unspoken that they have that will see them left alone in the crown if they provide their version of their story."

Meanwhile, the creator of 'The Crown' - Peter Morgan- has confirmed series will end with season six which will be set in the early 2000s. It is not yet clear which incidents of the family would be included in the final season.

Mr Sacerdoti added that Meghan and Harry will therefore be able to "complete their extra piece of the jigsaw puzzle" with their own series of events.

He said, "I certainly think it would be undesirable for Meghan and Harry to have recent events described in The Crown, I know producers said they aren't keen to go right up to the present day, but maybe that's why they are so keen on this Netflix series, it might complete their extra piece of the jigsaw puzzle in them telling their story."

It's official now. Prince Harry's tell-all memoir titled'Spare' will hit the stands in January 2023.&nbsp;Published by Penguin Random House, the book will release on January 10, 2023.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been advocates of&nbsp;mental health for years now. Recently, Harry spoke out about how 'therapy'&nbsp;has changed his life for the good.&nbsp;

The Duke of Sussex recently appeared at a mental-health summit as an ambassador for mental health firm BetterUp, where he opened up about the "power of therapy and coaching''.

He also shockingly revealed how he was never introduced to the word therapy&nbsp;during his life as a royal in London.&nbsp;Harry and Alexi Robichaux were joined by podcaster Reid Hoffman on stage.&nbsp;

However, no video has been made public from the conference, but several guests have tweeted quotes about Harry.&nbsp;

As per the Daily Beast, Doron Weber, VP of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, shared Harry's quote on his royal life. Weber tweeted, "Prince Harry says, growing up in the royal family &amp; then spending 10 years in the military, he never heard the words ‘therapy’ or ‘coaching.’ Then the blinkers came off and his life changed."&nbsp;

During his warm discussion with the firm’s founder, Alexi Robichaux, the father-of-two revealed how therapy ''opened [his] eyes'' and changed his perspective towards life, reported Daily Mail.&nbsp;

"I was moving through life thinking there was only one way to live and therapy burst that bubble. Then, when I found my way to coaching, the next bubble burst, and all of a sudden I realised that now I have perspective and a great understanding of my value," revealed Prince Harry.&nbsp;

''I regained confidence that I never thought I had.''

In his docuseries with Oprah Winfrey, Harry revealed that his wife Meghan was the person who pushed him to get therapy and seek professional help.&nbsp;

''I saw GPs. I saw doctors. I saw therapists. I saw alternative therapists. I saw all sorts of people, but it was meeting and being with Meghan," he explained in his interview with Oprah.&nbsp; 
 
''I knew that if I didn't do the therapy and fix myself that I was going to lose this woman who I could see spending the rest of my life with,'' he further added.

Harry's surprise appearance came a day after Meghan's Variety interview, in which she opened up about her bonding with the late Queen Elizabeth. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-remembers-queen-elizabeth-calls-her-shining-example-of-female-leadership-527040">Read the full story here.</a>

He also shockingly revealed how he was never introduced to the word therapy during his life as a royal in London. Harry and Alexi Robichaux were joined by podcaster Reid Hoffman on stage. However, no video has been made public from the conference, but several guests have tweeted quotes about Harry. As per the Daily Beast, Doron Weber, VP of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, shared Harry's quote on his royal life. Weber tweeted, "Prince Harry says, growing up in the royal family & then spending 10 years in the military, he never heard the words ‘therapy’ or ‘coaching.’ Then the blinkers came off and his life changed." Prince Harry says growing up in the royal family & then spending 10 years in the military, he never heard the words “therapy” or “coaching. Then the blinkers came off and his life changed. w ⁦@Arobichaux⁩ of @BetterUp⁩ & ⁦@reidhoffman⁩ ⁦⁦@mastersofscale⁩ pic.twitter.com/OD4veku8yE — Doron Weber (@DoronWeber) October 20, 2022 × During his warm discussion with the firm’s founder, Alexi Robichaux, the father-of-two revealed how therapy ''opened [his] eyes'' and changed his perspective towards life, reported Daily Mail. "I was moving through life thinking there was only one way to live and therapy burst that bubble. Then, when I found my way to coaching, the next bubble burst, and all of a sudden I realised that now I have perspective and a great understanding of my value," revealed Prince Harry. ''I regained confidence that I never thought I had.'' In his docuseries with Oprah Winfrey, Harry revealed that his wife Meghan was the person who pushed him to get therapy and seek professional help. ''I saw GPs. I saw doctors. I saw therapists. I saw alternative therapists. I saw all sorts of people, but it was meeting and being with Meghan," he explained in his interview with Oprah. ''I knew that if I didn't do the therapy and fix myself that I was going to lose this woman who I could see spending the rest of my life with,'' he further added. Harry's surprise appearance came a day after Meghan's Variety interview, in which she opened up about her bonding with the late Queen Elizabeth. Read the full story here.

To this, the child complied and asked the Duke, “Will you remember me in a day?”

“Yes,” the Prince replied to which the child countered, “Will you remember me in a month?”

His reply remained the same as the child continued, “Will you remember me in a year?”

“Yes”, again Prince Harry said.

“Knock knock”, the child said then to which the Prince responded with the customary response, “Who’s there?”. The child then brilliantly declared, “You already forgot me!”

Watch: Prince Harry 'walks straight into' a clever little boy's knock-knock joke

Britain's&nbsp;Prince&nbsp;Harry, singer Elton John and other individuals have launched legal action against the publisher of the Daily Mail newspaper, alleging phone tapping and other breaches of privacy, a law firm for some of the group said on Thursday.

Associated Newspapers, a publisher of the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and the Mail Online, one of the most widely read news websites in the world, said it "utterly and unambiguously" denied the allegations.

The others involved in the litigation are the actresses Elizabeth Hurley and Sadie Frost, Elton John's husband and filmmaker David Furnish, and Doreen Lawrence, the mother of Black teenager Stephen Lawrence who was murdered in a racist attack in 1993.

The individuals had become aware of "highly distressing" evidence revealing they had been victims of breaches of privacy by Associated Newspapers, law firm Hamlins said in a statement.

It said the breaches included placing listening devices inside people's cars and homes, commissioning the bugging of live, private telephone calls, payment of police officials for sensitive information, and impersonating individuals to obtain medical records.

"They have now therefore banded together to uncover the truth, and to hold the journalists responsible fully accountable, many of whom still hold senior positions of authority and power today," Hamlins said in its statement.

Hamlins said it was representing&nbsp;Harry, younger son of King Charles, and Frost, while Lawrence, Hurley, John and Furnish are being represented by the law firm gunnercooke.

"We utterly and unambiguously refute these preposterous smears which appear to be nothing more than a pre-planned and orchestrated attempt to drag the Mail titles into the phone hacking scandal concerning articles up to 30 years old," a spokesman for the publisher said.

"These unsubstantiated and highly defamatory claims - based on no credible evidence - appear to be simply a fishing expedition by claimants and their lawyers, some of whom have already pursued cases elsewhere."

PREVIOUS ACTION

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has already brought a number of lawsuits against Associated Newspapers' publications.

He is currently suing the Mail on Sunday for libel over an article which stated he had tried to keep secret details of his legal fight to reinstate his police protection, and last year won damages from the same paper over claims he had turned his back on the Royal Marines.

His wife Meghan also won a privacy case against the publisher last December for printing a letter she had written to her estranged father.

The couple's relations with Britain's tabloid press collapsed following their marriage in 2018, and they have previously said they would have "zero engagement" with four major British papers, including the Daily Mail, accusing them of false and invasive coverage.

Media intrusion was a major factor they cited in their decision to step down from royal duties and move to the United States two years ago.

Elton John also defended the couple himself after newspapers accused them of hypocrisy for using his private jet for a flight to stay at his home in the south of France while calling for action to tackle climate change.

A spokesperson for the couple said they had no comment beyond the Hamlins' statement.

Others involved in the action have also previously brought legal action against major media organisations. Frost was awarded 260,250 pounds ($290,595.15) compensation in 2015 after she and seven other celebrity figures sued Mirror Group Newspapers for hacking messages on their phones.

Hurley, John and Furnish also settled phone-hacking claims against News Group Newspapers – publisher of the now-defunct News of the World – shortly before trial in 2019.

An eight-month criminal trial into hacking at the News of the World in 2014 resulted in the conviction of former editor Andy Coulson, who later went to work for then-Prime Minister David Cameron as his communications chief.
