“Meghan & Harry” Trailer – Will You Watch?

The trailer has been released for the upcoming Harry and Meghan docuseries coming to Netflix.

A part of me wants to say “nope, not watching it” but the other part of me can’t wait to see it.  I think the drama with the royals is getting to be way too much.  Someone needs to just say “enough already” and be done with all of it.  I mean, now that the Queen is gone, is it ever really going to be or feel the same?  Is anyone ever going to be able to have that respect and admiration for King Charles?  I find him interesting and can appreciate his green earth initiatives, but I think I hold a grudge against him for the whole Diana thing.  And I realize it’s not REALLY his fault.  It’s the monarchy.  It’s the “way” of doing things in the royal family that ruined that fairy tale for us.  If Charles had been “allowed” to marry who he wanted, it would have been Camilla from the start. She was always his true love, as much as that hurts my heart to say.

But for a while we had the fairy tale.  We had Charles and Diana.  The wedding.  The spectacle.  We had Diana.  The “Queen of people’s hearts”.   We watched the story from a far.  We watched those boys grow up, and then we watched them grow up without their mother.  So I think us fans of Diana feel protective over her beloved boys, knowing that she loved them more than life itself.  And she would want them to be happy.  She would want them to be loved.  She would love that they make a difference in the world.

Harry has a book coming out in the new year.  The “Spare” and yes, I have that on my list of books I want to read because I am curious to know more about him.  Harry was always the mischievous one.  I think he always knew he would never be king.  I think he was more relaxed and knew he could get away with more.  And we often laughed and smiled at some of the things he did.  It’s an odd world to grow up in and to feel you have no choice.  Harry did the unthinkable when he said he was leaving the royal family.  To protect his family.  He feared that the same thing that happened to his mother, with the paparazzi, would happen to Meghan.  You have to have sympathy for that.  I somehow think that maybe even the Queen thought “well done”.   As much as the Queen was dedicated and loyal and served her country, it was never something she chose.  It chose her.

Meghan shares in the clip shared ” When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”

This is going to ruffle even more royal feathers.  I can’t even imagine the conversations happening over this and the memoir to be released.  I worry that Harry and William will never make amends, and that for sure would make their late mother incredibly heartbroken.

Netflix is billing the six-part series as “an unprecedented and in-depth” look at “one of the most-discussed couples in history.”

So yes, I will probably watch.  Even if I think it’s too much and is pouring salt on the wounds with the family.  But I am curious to know more about the lives of Harry and Meghan.  And I do think I will watch the documentary.  Will you?

I have to say it’s giving me John Lennon/ Yoko Ono vibes.  Yoko broke up the Beatles.  Did Meghan finally break the Royal family?  Hmmmm.
