LONDON — The release of the first three episodes of “Harry & Meghan,” the Netflix series from King Charles III‘s younger son and his American spouse, Meghan Markle, sent a nation accustomed to palace intrigue and royal drama into overdrive Thursday.
The BBC, the Guardian and the Daily Mail launched live blogs that were active for hours while the show aired, giving it the same treatment as developments in the Russia-Ukraine war and the recent contest for prime minister.
TV news in the United Kingdom has led with the series, in which Prince Harry accuses his family of having an “unconscious bias” against his biracial wife, and Markle characterizes the British media as being out to “destroy” her.
