PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s US move was all about privacy and they’re hypocrites for doing the Netflix documentary, a royal expert claims.
In the first episodes of the couple’s £88million documentary, they reveal intimate details of their life through unseen footage and photos.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have always been a privacy-loving couple, a royal expert claims
Yet the pair have released unseen photos of them, and their children, in their Netflix documentary
And their spokesman claims Megxit had nothing to do with wanting privacy
There are sneak peeks into their relationship – including of the pair in bed together and snogging while on safari in Botswana – and an insight into their children, Archie and Lilibet‘s, upbringing to date.
But Harry and Meghan were quickly slammed for putting so much on display.
Many said the privacy-loving pair were suddenly giving the public look inside their exclusive life – despite that being the reason they were said to have left Royal duties and the UK.
This saw their spokesman blast such criticism, claiming Megxit was “never about privacy”.
The Sussexes spokesman Ashley Hansen told The New York Times: “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.
“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.
“The facts are right in front of them.”
But royal author Angela Levin claims that is far from the truth, and said the couple “would never have gone” to America if they didn’t care about privacy.
She also called the Sussexes’ decision to televise the life they’d hidden behind closed doors “very” hypocritical.
Angela told The Celeb Report Online: “Harry is not made for publicity.
“He’s said it himself. He said to me he can’t bear it – being in this goldfish bowl.
“It’s horrible for him.”
She said Harry once told her of times he was at the supermarket and people would start pulling their phones out to snap photos of him, adding: “He had to hide behind the meat counter.”
Angela said Meghan was also a private person, and recalled when the Duchess was pregnant with Archie.
She said: “She absolutely cried for privacy.
“They wanted it private, they didn’t want anyone else there.”
Angela said the couple had always been about “stopping publicity and keeping quiet”.
She continued: “They’ve said that countless times.”
In 2020, just hours after the pair announced they were leaving, Harry told a charity event in London the pair wanted “a quieter life”.
And Meghan told Oprah in their bombshell 2021 interview she believes “everyone has a basic right to privacy – basic”.
Meghan added: “We’re not talking about anything that anybody else wouldn’t expect”.
Explaining why she thought the Sussexes were now claiming otherwise, Angela said they were telling “their truth, that very few others would agree with”.
She continued: “I think they’re trying to perfect themselves.
“They’re never to blame, it’s always someone else.
“It’s all part of the same thing.
“They’re entitled to open up – but you can’t blame other people.
“You can’t keep on blasting the Royal Family.”
