    Surprise!! Fluff Where It Isn't Needed!
    From ridiculous glossing over of this family's incredibly ostentatious behavior on a daily basis, evidence of horrid behavior by all of the Queens children (are we just pretending Andrew isn't an awful person?), hideous treatment of Diana by Charles, disgusting behavior by Andrew, Anne being an infantile moron, then screeching about some sort of insane sudden racism regarding a supposedly insipid relationship with Megan regarding Harry's family (who's been previously married, has a monstrous family, lacks any semblance of class, whines about everything and everyone yet fails to accept any sort of responsibility on her own behavior) but somehow there's some racial issues? She was a 'D' level celebrity at best in the US (no one had even heard of her) and can't even manage a relationship resembling normal within her own family, but we're supposed to believe this is the cause of the Windsors, and not completely of her own doing. Harry has always been a wilting flower, in constant need of tending, and this behavior continues to worsen with each passing day. Losing one's mother at such a vital age can have devastating effects, but that certainly does not exempt you from personal behavior that has been atrocious on numerous occasions. Megan always seemed to be in it for the attention, and that she coaxed Harry to flee his family, then castigating the people who tried fervently to acclimate her, then to so publicly bash them on to a worldwide audience? I'm sorry but England is better off without these two idiots

    Then you take a step back and suddenly you realize this is a production by CNN, and it all makes sense. Still content to sow seeds of division, always seeming to drag race and income into any argument even where it doesn't fit, with them falling on their swords for all the 'little people' is so on-brand for this network.

    The monarchy evolves, and has changed immensely under her reign. Like it or not, Britain wants to retain this family, and from the outset Megan was a horrible fit for this family, and Harry, having taken on most of his father's penchant for behaving petulantly, is following his wife around like a sad little puppy, and whining impossibly to anyone who'll indulge him.

    There's so much completely missed and/or outright ignored, parts where the messaging is so convoluted to convince you of the desired narrative, that I'd take 'The Crown' as more factually accurate than this pablum.
