Harry did not choose to be a Royal, but he grew up under the eyes of the media for every little thing he did and saw what happened to his mother as a young boy. That would be a difficult life to live in my book. Very little privacy. Harry & Meghan chose to tell their story themselves to have some control over the information that would have been told by strangers if they didn't. I can't fault them for that. If you don't want to watch them or read their stories, then simply don't do it. It costs you nothing to choose to watch something else. I think it was a pretty gutsy thing for them to do knowing the criticism they were going to get regardless.

Thanks for a well reasoned comment.
There is a very nice commentary about this on CNN..."Yes, Harry and Meghan aired grievances. But there’s another takeaway from their docuseries." by Sophie A Nelson, It is well worth the read.
And there is another point---if you cannot say something nice about someone, say nothing...but in this case, I think H and M had very compelling reasons to speak their truth..it is a form of survival for them. Very brave...
