The first part of the documentary "Harry and Meghan" is available since Thursday morning on Netflix.

The terrible couple of the British monarchy once again pours out their reasons for leaving Buckingham, Meghan's discomfort, loneliness, pressure from the media… Across the Channel, the series makes people cringe and comes certainly further tarnish the image of the Sussexes...

The first part of Harry and Meghan's shocking documentary goes live today, with the second part next week.

Netflix plays the suspense card to the end.

Nothing has yet filtered before the posting, because the press did not have preview access to the episodes. 

"We are in the codes of intimate revelations"

The mystery was even maintained for months… Because we had known for a long time that a documentary was planned, but we for example discovered very recently that it was ultimately not ONE documentary but a documentary series, in six episodes.

Trailers are not released months or weeks in advance, as is sometimes the case with other Netflix programs.

No, they were put online a few days before.

Moreover, the release date was announced at the last moment.

We've only known her for three days.

As for the content, we are far from what had been announced.

"For a very long time, it had been presented rather as something relating to their charitable activities. However, we realize that this is not the case at all. Here, we are in the codes of intimate revelations, with photos and pictures of Harry and Meghan on their sofa, not particularly dressed, no makeup, showing their despair, their weariness. We see pictures of Meghan wiping away tears. So we are not at all in charity, but really in the intimacy of their story. And it's sold as such. We'll tell you what happened behind the doors. We'll tell you the whole truth",

"A lot of people unite around the royal family" 

The documentary series is already making a lot of noise in Great Britain.

Each image of the trailers has been deciphered, criticized, commented on.

What impact can the documentary have on the image of the royal family, on public opinion?

“A lot of people unite around the royal family. They consider Harry and Meghan to be very spoiled, that they had a very comfortable life and that it is unfair to undermine the monarchy in this way. For young people, that can have a very negative impact because this love affair between Harry and Meghan has been the stuff of dreams, their escape from the royal family has been the stuff of dreams. It is particularly crucial because it is they, according to the polls, who are the least attached to the monarchical institution and who have the most tendency to question it", underlines Adelaïde de Clermont Tonnerre.
