One of the numerous criticisms lobbed at Harry and Meghan, the couple’s eponymous new Netflix present, is that it was produced with reckless indifference. Prince Harry was simply trying to lash out on behalf of his spouse, and so they simply made their new claims irresponsibly — heck, they didn’t even give the Palace a heads up! Totally unprofessional etiquette for a documentary manufacturing, proper? But that’s what the Royals claimed.
The official first response to the docuseries from Buckingham Palace (which represents King Charles III and Queen Camilla) and Kensington Palace (which represents Prince William and Princess Catherine AKA Kate Middleton) spokespersons was that they’d by no means been approached for remark.
However, simply hours later their story modified. Royal sources (hold that time period in thoughts) as a substitute stated the Palaces had been contacted — we guess they realized producers might show they’d despatched emails. Pretty easy, actually. So the brand new story was, the emails had been despatched from “a third-party production company” — not Netflix or Meghan and Harry’s Archewell Productions. Palace aides had tried to achieve out to Netflix and Archewell by means of official channels to ensure it was legit earlier than sending a response however couldn’t get in contact. That means they’d believable deniability, proper? No one might show they knew for certain Harry and Meghan reached out. And they already obtained the headlines they wished.
Harry and Meghan didn’t care who they damage, they didn’t give the Palace an opportunity to inform their facet, it was successful-and-run scenario. It damage the credibility of the entire manufacturing. How might you belief something they are saying? It’s like a type of terrible unauthorized biography motion pictures on Lifetime. Right?
Here’s the factor, although… There’s proof that story was BS.

According to Buzzfeed News, there’s proof Lee Thompson, communications director for William and Catherine, not solely obtained that e-mail and knew the place it was from, he responded! He truly requested for early footage of the docuseries! The outlet says they noticed the emails between Thompson and one of many present’s producers, and their authenticity was confirmed by manufacturing firm Story Syndicate.
OK, however perhaps the Royal sources claiming ignorance didn’t know that? Wrong! Buzzfeed additionally says they will verify Lee Thompson WAS the “Royal source” being quoted! He and his Buckingham counterpart, Tobyn Andreae, communications secretary to Charles and Camilla, had been those telling UK shops the brand new story, the crap about not realizing the place the e-mail was coming from.
If that is true, it’s proof Prince William and King Charles’ prime aides are 100% nonetheless mendacity about Harry and Meghan. They’re placing out tales below the guise of nameless “Royal sources” particularly to make the Sussexes look unhealthy. Where have we heard that earlier than? Oh yeah, it’s one of many claims made in Harry and Meghan!
But hey, we will’t belief something they are saying within the docuseries, proper?? Damn.
