The pills follow one after another in the Meghan and Harry docuseries on Netflix. It is a non-stop. Each image is looked at under a microscope. Some, like Archie’s first birthday, capture all the media attention due to the zeal and privacy that the dukes have always maintained with their two children.
The Sussexes, in the serial, look back and remember that day when they announced their official engagement. It was in 2017, a year before their wedding, in May 2018. Harry y Meghan they remember the moment as an “orchestrated reality show”.
They also give away several photos of their son Archie, such as the party for his first birthday. A family event that they share with Doria, Meghan’s mother and the little boy’s grandmother. A day of maximum happiness for the parents, who show the most real and spontaneous smile with their baby, who is sitting in her high chair. It was May 6, 2020, in full global confinement due to the Covid pandemic. They also share the first steps of their firstborn at their home in Montecito in Los Angeles.
“I sacrificed what I had”
Harry appeals to his effort and is filled with reasons to tell his story: “I sacrificed everything I had”, referring to the joint decision to leave the royal family, which they announced in January 2020. “Meghan sacrificed everything she knew and the freedom I had to enter my world,” the prince continues. “And soon after, I ended up sacrificing all of her to join her in her world.”
“I’m very huggable”
Meghan has also revealed details of her first meeting with Guillermo y Kate Middleton. “Amazing” has been the word he has used to describe that meeting. The actress remembers that she was barefoot and in torn jeans. Very informal, she contextualizes her. And then she says, “I’m very huggable. Always I have been hugging. I didn’t know that this could be jarring for many Britons,” he reveals. “I quickly understood that the formality of the outside doors is carried out inside.” With this phrase, Meghan makes a clear reference to the formal and distant treatment that marks the relations between the members of The Firm, both inside the palace and on the street.Also, by drip, conveys the frustration of an affectionate and welcoming woman like her who, in a first meeting with her brothers-in-law, receives colder treatment than expected.
