Quick, nurse, pass the sick bag! The wokest couple in all the West is at it again. Harry and Meghan have today released another trailer ahead of their Netflix series, before its release on Thursday. The streaming giant is keen to recuperate the many millions it spent on hiring the dilettante duo back in the heady days of the pandemic, with the Sussexes now required to sing for their proverbial supper in the upcoming tell-all documentary.
The trailer for this ‘global event’ bears all the hallmarks of Harry and Meghan’s ‘brand’: slick shots, moody music, tear-stained cheeks and Hollywood jargon more hackneyed than a Hallmark movie. In one glorious snippet, Harry – that embodiment of English aristocracy – bemoans how ‘there’s a hierarchy of the family’. In the royals? Who knew!
In another, a talking head says with a straight face that ‘there was a war against Meghan’ as another intones ‘it’s about hatred, it’s about race’, played over footage of cheering British crowds applauding the couple on their wedding day. A cursory look at the archives of that day and others will reveal how the British public and its press were hugely supportive of the Sussexes for the majority of their time in the UK. Still, recollections may vary, as a wise woman once said.

Perhaps Mr S is too much of a cynic but does the increasingly sensationalist tone of such comments suggest that life in LA isn’t going exactly as Harry and Meghan envisaged? It is after all just over 18 months since the last tell-all that the pair did with Oprah Winfrey. By a curious chance, Republic – the ‘campaign for a democratic alternative to the monarchy’ – has today begun accepting applications for a new ‘lead campaigner’ to oversee ‘protests and more robust campaigns in the lead up to the coronation.’
Sounds like the post has already been filled.
