Harry and Meghan defend decision to make Netflix series | World News

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have defended their decision to make a six-part Netflix series looking at their private lives.

The first three of six episodes began streaming yesterday, in which Prince Harry and Meghan talked about the pressure they felt from media interest in their lives.

Now, their global press secretary Ashley Hansen has told the New York Times: “Their statement announcing their decision to step back [from royal duties] mentions nothing of privacy and reiterates their desire to continue their roles and public duties.

“Any suggestion otherwise speaks to a key point of this series. They are choosing to share their story, on their terms, and yet the tabloid media has created an entirely untrue narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion.

“The facts are right in front of them.”
