    The second half of The duke & duchess of Sussex documentary continues in the vein of the first addressing the turmoil of being rejected by the British press and the institution Harry was born into.

It's still a bit guarded in its truth giving the sense that the couple are still intent on protecting some harmful player's but they do tend to divulge as much of their side as they can with the fewest ramifications for those titled participants in their crucifixion.

    They really were under siege. They really did fear for their safety. You get a window into Meghan’s can-do approach venturing into this new life: If you make the effort, there’s a good chance things will work out. But things were never going to work out here. ...

    Just watch the last two. ... When Harry and Meghan aren’t preening and whingeing and documenting their private pain in staged, arty black-and-white stills photography they give a persuasive account of how they felt attacked and bullied by sections of the media and certain palace aides.

    Nearly every element has been reported on ad nauseam, from the meetings surrounding their departure, to her miscarriage, to the lawsuit against the Daily Mail. But the series still lands a punch because there are so many unlikely twists, with palace officials leaking information to scupper their plans, horrendous death threats, social media frenzies and the truly surreal role Tyler Perry played in their rescue.
