This was my third interview about Harry and Meghan in as many hours, but it was the radio host who sounded jaded. Shouldn’t we be discussing something important, she asked. Never mind that she and her UK media colleagues had spent the preceding week speculating about the Sussexes’ new Netflix documentary. Earlier that morning, the first three episodes had finally dropped and already those same journalists and outlets were talking the series down.
I demurred: the documentary was compelling, perhaps in some respects even important. The radio host waved away my comment. She had better things to do with her time, she declared, with the performative distaste Very Serious People typically reserve for Strictly Come Dancing.
