Loved this series SO much As our friend Taylor Swift says, "Haters gonna hate." That's this entire review section. You've gotta really have your panties in a twist to not see the genuine love these two people have for each other. Or.... maybe an unhealthy and codependent attachment to a thousand year-old institution that's less and less relevant? Beats me, I'm just an American.
I deeply appreciate how they opened up to share their story here. I've always related to Harry growing up (we were born a month apart), because i also lost my mom when i was young. It really does mark you. And I've also been the black sheep in my family throughout my whole life for wanting to carry on her legacy. So,it brought me so much peace to see how deeply proud Harry is to be his mother's son. He honors her with his life, his words, his actions, his humility, and his genuine sense of care for his wife and family.
Their love story was so sweet to see too....how they met and got together and decided to make it work. I, too, met my husband in my 30's. There's something so rich about meeting someone who already has a fully formed sense of self.
And....it grieves me deeply to see the racism that Meghan experienced throughout her time with the royal family. The series did a very thorough job of showing the UK's history of slavery, colonialism, and empire, and then putting Meghan's experience into the context of all those centuries of history. It was not an exception or an anomaly, it's literally baked into the foundation of the nation and it's Empire.
But after all this, bless both M & H and their children and the life they have built together. They truly do care about humanity and justice. Looking forward to see what impact they will have over the years.
To all the haters in this review section....anger and hate is like a hot coal in the palm of your hand. It only burns YOU.
