Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have bared all in their new Netflix docuseries 'Harry & Meghan,' the first volume of which was released on December 8 and the second to follow December 15. But the first three episodes alone have drawn criticism for the intimate look into the royal couple's home life and relationship, along with of course the bombshells about the royal family. Critics began to point fingers at how the couple has previously complained about press intrusion into their lives, but a statement issued by the couple's press secretary shut down that line of argument immediately.
"The Duke and Duchess have never cited privacy as the reason for stepping back. This distorted narrative was intended to trap the couple into silence," the statement said, according to a report by the BBC. "In fact, their statement announcing their decision to step back mentions nothing of privacy and reiterates their desire to continue their roles and public duties. Any suggestion otherwise speaks to a key point of this series." The statement added, "They are choosing to share their story, on their terms, and yet the tabloid media has created an entirely untrue narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion."
