The first three episodes of "Harry & Meghan," a documentary about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were released on Netflix Thursday after much suspense. We watched it so you don’t have to.
The hotly anticipated show explores the couple’s upbringings, in their words, before discussing their first meeting and falling in love. It also tracks their current lives in California, with interviews and footage shot on mobile phones. The remaining three episodes, which can be watched on Dec. 15, were teased and look to show “how a family and a family business became in direct conflict.” "Harry & Meghan" was made by Oscar-nominated director Liz Garbus.
The show attempts to educate viewers about the history of the British empire, with interviews from historian David Olusoga and author Afua Hirsch. She said that slavery fueled the early empire, adding that Britain had a deep south that was just as brutal and enslaved as many Africans as the U.S. — but it was the Caribbean, and therefore disregarded. Meghan Markle’s introduction to the Royal Household, according to those interviewed, was regarded as an opportunity to reflect multicultural Britain.
