Harry and Meghan are gaslighting the entire nation while lining their pockets with misery

No one knows the full truth; we know the whole truth. With those portentous words, Prince Harry ends the second trailer for his Netflix documentary, the first part of which opens in its entirety this Thursday.

Or, to put it another way, the gloves are well and truly out.

Not that anyone really believed otherwise, given the recent behavior of the Sussexes. But there was always a faint hope that they might retain some propriety; that certain areas might remain off limits even to them.

Not so. And that sounds like a threat, as clear as it is sinister.

Two things stand out. First, Princess Diana’s use of weapons and her own experience as a royal consort to elevate Meghan. No wonder: Harry has mentioned his wife before in the context of his mother, but this goes a step further.

By placing images of the late Princess Diana alongside images of Meghan in various stages of distress, the message is clear: the two are pretty much one and the same.

This is smart. Not only does it recruit (and infuriate) armies of Princess Diana fans who, to this day, believe she was murdered by the royal family and will undoubtedly take to social media to spread the gospel; it also allows Meghan to inherit Diana’s iconic status. Which presumably comes in handy when submitting victim narratives to Netflix.

But when you think about it, it’s a really low shot, not just because it’s effectively monetizing Diana’s life (and death); but also because, let’s not forget, Harry is not Diana’s only son. One can only imagine how Prince William must feel about Harry appropriating his late mother in this way.

Second, race. “It’s all about race,” says one of the talking heads in this trailer. Harry and Meghan left because the royal family and apparently most of the British media are racist. Really? But I thought you just told us that it was about history repeating itself. Diana wasn’t half-breed, was she? So how can she be her racist? Make up your mind, guys.

The lack of self-awareness is staggering. At one point, Harry intones, in his now-familiar Voice of Doom, about “the pain and suffering of women getting married in this institution, this feeding frenzy.”

I am sorry? Come again? What about his constant attacks on the institution where another woman, the Princess of Wales, was married?

Or does Kate not count because she doesn’t spend all her time playing the victim, crying and bemoaning how horrible her life is, but just moving on instead of constantly finding fault?

Doesn’t it count because, unlike Meghan, she’s managed to make it as a royal consort?

The Netflix trailer opens with Harry telling us, “It’s really hard to look back and say, ‘What the hell really happened?

No, Harry, it’s not. Too easy. So let me explain it to you. You and Meghan had it all: a very comfortable life complete with all the perks of your position, the adoration of the British public, a positive platform from which to pursue your passions.

Meghan was welcomed with open arms and complete sincerity; you had a £30 million wedding with cheering crowds from Windsor to Wolverhampton; Prince Charles walked Meghan down the aisle; you were part of the ‘Fab Four’, the future of the Royal Family.

The tide turned just because of your behavior: the diva demands; jealousy towards other royals; that baby shower; those private jets; ingratitude; Hypocrisy; the nasty fights over tiaras and Frogmore Cottage.

What happened, Harry, was that people started questioning some of your and Meghan’s choices, and you didn’t like that.

And instead of wondering if people might be right when they said they didn’t much like being lectured on climate change by someone who seemed to use private air travel like an Uber; instead of checking on you and your wife’s privilege (to use a phrase dear to your new American friends), he went on a massive hissing fit and now makes accusations of racism.

And here you are, lighting up the entire nation while filling your pockets with your so-called misery. And I’m sorry, but it does not wash. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with hate, and it has nothing to do with race.

Your payers at Netflix may fall for this nonsense, but the UK audience sees right through you. That, I’m afraid, is the ‘whole truth’.
