Now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's documentary is officially out on Netflix, they've been at the center of criticism.
Reason? People online point out that they left the kingdom for more privacy, while now they are allowing cameras to follow them home and tell about their lives. They seem to contradict each other, don't they?
Their press secretary, Ashley Hansen, spoke officially about the rumors and criticism. There's a good reason these two things — the desire for privacy and making a documentary — seem to be at odds with each other, according to Harry and Meghan's rep, and that's because leaving the royals on the privacy issue it is completely false.
"The Duke and Duchess have never cited privacy as a reason for stepping down from royalty," their rep explained in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. "This twisted narrative was intended to silence the couple. In fact, their statement announcing the decision to withdraw makes no mention of privacy and emphasizes their desire to have their roles and duties public."
"They have chosen to tell their story, on their terms, and yet the tabloid media has created a completely false narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion. The facts are right in front of them,” she said in another statement to the New York Times.
In the official statement of Harry and Meghan in January 2020, they say that they decided to retire from the kingdom to work and have financial independence.
