Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, had accused the royal family of playing a “dirty game” with the media – namely having provided the British tabloid media with negative and sometimes false information about them. However, since few concrete examples have been given, it is also difficult to react to them, says Prescott. There was initially no reaction from the palace to Harry and Meghan’s allegations.
However, the expert sees the risk that Harry’s relationship with his brother William could deteriorate further after publication. In it, Harry describes his brother as a man of the institution, while he himself has freed himself from it. He also accuses the heir to the throne, 40, of yelling at him at a crisis meeting. According to Prescott, the fact that excerpts from a BBC interview with Princess Diana can be seen in the Netflix production is also a provocation. The BBC itself had pledged to stop broadcasting the clips after it became known that the reporter at the time had used forged documents to gain access to Diana.
