"As an expert in the contemporary British monarchy, I watched the first three
episodes of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new Netflix docuseries,
Harry &
Meghan, closely.
What came across most was how Meghan’s gender, race and class intersected in
her treatment both by the media and by “the Firm” (an unofficial nickname for
the British monarchy and its staff that describes the institution as a
business) itself.
As with their 2021
Oprah interview, this documentary is a forum for the
couple to account for their treatment by the Firm. These kinds of royal
confessionals risk damaging the monarchy, as they cast a light “behind the
scenes” of an institution which relies on magic and majesty to maintain its
image."
Via Muse, who wrote "End monarchy. It is an anchor dragging behind the need for
greater social enlightenment."
