eale, the so-called “royal watchers” that in this Country often express themselves as if it werero the official representatives of the Windsors, heavily criticize the series “Harry & Meghan”: one of the accusations is that, so by doing, the dukes show that they are in contradiction with themselves, because they are went to America saying they wanted to protect theto their privacy, tired of the siege of the newspapers, but now they shamelessly exhibit themselves in the TV series. “The dukes have never cited privacy as a reason to step back”, says their spokesperson. “This distorted narrative has l’notction of forcing them to silence. In their statement announcing the decision to no longer play a role a full-time in the royal household and moving to America, there was not a word about privacy and the desire to continue to have was repeated public duties in representation of the monarchy. Any statement other than this underlines a key aspect of the series. The dukes have decided to make their story known, in their own terms, yet the tabloids have crafted a narrative entirelyand phony it affects press coverage and public opinion. The facts speak for themselves.”
