🗣 'I genuinely think the couple have, with this one at least, holed their own hull - as we say on the Yorkshire coast - by not paying more attention to detail.'
Paraphrasing slightly, at one point in their tell-all, expressing dismay, disappointment and seemingly sadness the Duke of Sussex tells theproduction crew - to whom he and his wife have, incidentally, sold photographs and stories for £90,000,000 - that he was astounded at what people will do - handing over private photographs and untold stories - when offered a fistful of dollars. A little self-awareness wouldn’t go amiss, here.
So far, so right Mr Morgan, then? Perhaps. I wanted to explore the hypocrisy thing more, not least because the trailers promoting the Netflix docu-series were immediately shown to be disingenuous, and that’s a problem for the Sussexes. Robert Jobson, a well-respected author and journalist singled out an image of a camera lens being trained on the couple with their backs to it,carrying baby Archie.
Intrigued at how others were seeing this play out, one comment from someone who has taught me more than most about tolerance and understanding is Benjamin Butterworth. More often than not he, a journalist and broadcaster, has helped me to analyse things more compassionately than I - a coal miner’s lad brought up with a no-nonsense approach to life - sometimes might. His view : “This is just nasty and unbecoming. Meghan looks like a school bully.”Yikes.
The Daily Mail didn’t disappoint. Its columnist, Sarah Vine declared from P1 of Friday 9th December issue: “Harry is a very damaged man - and I feel for him.” Is he? Why do you say that? She explains by victimising poor little helpless Harry - at the hands of Meghan, of course - he is ‘a very damaged man, scarred by his experiences as a child.” And what of Vine’s Meghan: “there is an edge to her, a disingenuous polish that doesn’t quite sit right.
And that’s it, isn’t it. At least that’s getting much closer to my view on quite why two people who are trying to have their say - do not forget that this diary piece Netflix have produced is a mere News In Brief versus the deluge of copy written about them, much of it ill-informed.The sad thing is, Harry and Meghan had the power to tell their story straight. To give an honest account of what their love for one another has been up against since day one, and they blew it.
