Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, launched the first three episodes of their Netflix docuseries 'Harry & Meghan.' True Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen speaks out.
As a filmmaker, Bullen said the program plays out more like"a reality show" than a documentary that addresses all sides of the royal saga. He also wondered why the Sussexes opened their lives for public consumption after they willingly chose to give up their roles as senior royals and move to California. The couple resides in the coastal city of Montecito, where they are raising their two children.
"I think the main shock and surprise is the use of some of those intimate moments," Bullen continued."You know, the royal family – and Harry and Meghan – have been very open about this, you know, exposing so much of their lives. So they’re very careful to protect what they can. And those personal moments are things that they cherish and want to keep private quite rightly. And yet Harry and Meghan are telling us about their trip to Africa.
"I think the engagement and the wedding followed all the normal royal protocols," he said."I don’t think anyone would ever describe those engagement interviews as a 'reality show.’ They’re very choreographed news programs on a news [outlet]. The weddings are in many ways, not quite state events, but certainly national events with all the pageantry attached to a royal wedding. So I think Meghan is somewhat confused.
Prince Harry reflected on his mother Princess Diana's struggles with the paparazzi. The Princess of Wales passed away in 1997 from injuries she sustained in a Paris car crash. She was 36. At the time of the accident, Diana was being chased by photographers.
"I sat down and spoke to the chief rabbi in London, which had a profound impact on me," he recalled in the series."I went to Berlin and spoke to a Holocaust survivor."Bullen said he wasn’t surprised by Harry’s decision to look back at that controversy as the couple was going to address"all the moments that they want to address."
