This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is unfortunate that review sites are being swamped by haters who haven’t even watched the series. I recommend that you watch it and make up your own mind. This docuseries moves slowly, but it is well produced and surprisingly managed to hold my attention for all six episodes. The series gives you the chance to see what Harry and Meghan are really like as people. I always empathized with their situation, but this series actually made me like them. There are also many false claims spread by the media and internet trolls that are debunked by Meghan's friends, family members and associates, who finally get to speak up on her behalf. This is a very genuine caring couple, and I think their move across the pond was a huge loss for the royal family. There are a few reveals about the royal family, but it was nothing major and nothing that I hadn’t suspected already. Most of the negative comments were targeted towards the family as a business, rather than comments specifically targeting individual members. The worst players were the press and the British tabloids that went to great efforts to fabricate stories and foster hate amongst the public. At one point when talking about the press and all the death threats, a tearful Meghan says: "I'm a mom. That's my real life. And that's the piece when you see it and you go, 'You are making people want to kill me. It's not just a tabloid. It's not just some story. You are making me scared.'” You can then understand why the issue of security was so important to them. Expand

The director is covering a number of themes - race, the press, misinformation and where those intersect with privileged families - that are hard to analyze in depth in just six episodes. But all this is lost to the press surrounding the documentary series. Which is a shame, because if pro-Royal folks lowered their defenses, they would find it brings up very necessary and valid points that society at large are talking about.

What I would love to see is a documentary with the women in the Royal family, speaking honestly about their experiences.
