Journalist behind Harry and Meghan documentary admits “everything wasn’t rosy”
Only a week after Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s new documentary was released, the journalist who was behind the controversial piece has revealed that “everything wasn’t rosy” behind the scenes.
Travelling through Africa with the Sussexes during their 10-day tour, Tom Bradby spoke to the royals one-on-one as he asked the two about the realities of living as a royal in the public eye.
In a rare moment, Meghan spoke about her struggles with the British press, while Harry confessed that he and brother Prince William are “on different paths” in life, addressing rumours of a royal rift.
The confessions shook fans around the world, but Bradby said he was just telling “the story that was in front of him.”
“I knew that everything wasn’t entirely rosy behind the scenes, that’s true, but all the same I sort of had intended to turn up probably doing a more conventional journalistic job,” he told Good Morning America.
“I told them before I was going to have to put some particularly pointed questions. But I think the reality I found was just a couple who just seemed a bit bruised and vulnerable.”
Ever since the documentary was released, opinions on the couple have been divided with many praising the two for their honesty, while others have accused them of complaining.
Meghan’s estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle, labelled her as a “hypocrite”.
“I think it is really ludicrous that someone who is escorted around the world by millions of dollars’ worth of security on private jets as a millionaire could ever complain about anything,” Samantha told Inside Edition.
However, others have shown their support by rallying behind hashtag #WeLoveYouMeghan as a show of solidarity, after the Duchess confessed to being “not okay”.
