Meghan Markle’s portrayal in Netflix series sparks backlash

Meghan Markle’s depiction of her first meeting with Queen Elizabeth II in the series ‘Harry & Meghan’ has stirred controversies and criticism of the Royal Family, highlighting shifts in her public image and sparking debates over the portrayal of royal protocols.
Meghan Markle’s portrayal of her first meeting with Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix series “Harry & Meghan” has drawn criticism for what was perceived as an inappropriate curtsy. This scene, described by US columnist Maureen Callahan, highlights a significant shift in Meghan’s public reception, particularly among some Americans who felt that the Royal Family was shown in a negative light.
The series not only focused on Meghan’s adjustments to royal protocols but also included Prince Harry discussing his military service and future publications. His revelations regarding his military service and the details he plans to share in his upcoming memoir have stirred controversy, raising concerns about potential risks to his former comrades and the impact on his relationships within the Royal Family.
This backlash comes as Prince Harry and Meghan continue to participate in high-profile projects, including a new Netflix series on polo and public speeches, under scrutiny for Harry’s wearing of military medals. Despite the controversies, Prince Harry has maintained ties with the UK, evidenced by their recent hiring of communications executive Charlie Gipson and others to manage their media relations, indicating ongoing links to Britain.
Harry’s return to the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games signals his and potentially Meghan’s continued engagement with British charitable activities, despite their contentious departure from Royal obligations and their subsequent life in the United States.
