That's fair point Kefkat. No I won't be watching it as I have no interest in them, I'm no royalist either btw. I just don't understand why 2 fabulously lucky and wealthy people who want privacy have done a series like this. I get Harry is angry about his moms death / treatment etc but I think there's better ways of dealing with it , like therapy rather than a Netflix series.
Nowhere did they say they wanted privacy. They wanted to be able to control the narrative and give consent to what was put out there. Yes it made the media worse however being in a different country they are safer.
The original statement says
At the time, they said: "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
"It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
"This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.
We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support
