‘Harry & Meghan’ review: In Part I, the couple addresses racism and the press — but so far steer clear of royal family digs

The British royals have entered a new flop era. We’ve been here before.

But while the 1990s were beset by scandals and the death of a princess, even Princess Diana’s sure-footed and damning 1995 Panorama interview about her life in the royal family was just an hour long. The Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is an even more ambitious project at six times that length. To its credit, it’s hard to compare it to anything — and it’s trying to do everything: Pull back the curtain, right some wrongs and reframe the conversation.

The first three episodes premiered Thursday; the final three will premiere a week later.
