The whole thing will be an exercise in deflection as to the actual reasons why they stepped down. Their egos got overinflated by a combination of commission based advisors telling them they were potentially worth a billion and their own personality flaws in deludedly believing their own hype. They thought they were bigger than the institution. Unlike the dowdy rest of them, they had star power in lieu of actual intellect and talent and in the vacuous world of celebrity it would be sufficient. They'd been bullying staff as it was and they thought they could bully their way into getting their cake and eating it via half-in half-out from the family. Free to go all in commercially and free to come and go as they pleased to replenish their brand with the optics of royalty. It was always going to be a non-runner and dead set against what British royalty was. In parallel, Meghan, who is a nobody beyond the royal connection, was laying the manipulative groundwork from the off in order to ensure Harry was onboard with their stateside gambit. She was unhappy, the press intrusion statement, suicide ideation etc. They were politely told to f*ck off in a manner of words about half in and half out and told it was either all in or all out. When no quarter was given about their demands then that's when everything changed. They left and Covid lockdowns coincided with their leaving and the world began getting sick and tired of the very famous for being famous celebrity lifestyle the Sussexes envisaged for themselves. The Oprah interview and now this series are done to manipulate us. We're supposed to think they were right to escape, right to protect themselves, right to fight back. They need to be right and are willing to do whatever it takes to be proven so. In doing this they have tripped themselves up and any sincerity from them is drowned out by their falsehoods. This won't be a story of a man and his wife who successfully extricated themselves from a toxic environment, one which affected their mental health and one which we the audience should applaud. It will be a series with the express goal of smearing, slandering and defining as racist villains those people who have the capacity to tell the world that it is actually Harry and Meghan who are the villains. Never underestimate the lengths narcissistic people will go to in order to conceal who they truly are.
means that the total is even less.
