LONDON — Britain's press erupted in outrage Friday at Prince Harry and Meghan's documentary series, which lambasts the U.K. media over its treatment of the royal couple.
In the program the couple, along with friends and Meghan's family members, recount their early lives and blossoming romance, leading up to their fairy-tale wedding at Windsor Castle in 2018, and their growing discontent with what they saw as the media's racist treatment of Meghan and a lack of support from the palace.
Meghan claims in the documentary that the media wanted to"destroy" her, while Harry says his wife was subjected to a press"feeding frenzy." The tabloid Sun said the documentary was"made for an American audience — cementing their money-making potential in the US — and to hell with everything and everybody else, including the truth."
Employment Minister Guy Opperman branded the couple"utterly irrelevant" and urged people"to boycott Netflix and make sure that we actually focus on the things that matter.""It's a matter for the public what channels they want to watch," said spokesman Jamie Davies. He said the prime minister had not watched the series, and the government"would never comment on royal matters.
Why would anyone care about these two?
