Harry and Meghan review: Faux candid shots have me rolling my eyes so hard I give myself a mild migraine

Harry and Meghan review: Faux candid shots have me rolling my eyes so hard I give myself a mild migraine

I really wanted Meghan to move her arse because I'm at a stage in my life when kitchen islands turn me on more than two hotties smooching.'

Threats, tantrums, torment - and that's just me wresting control of the telly to watch episode one of Harry & Meghan's story on Netflix. The whole concept has my brain melted before I press play, to be honest. Is it a genius pr coup by savvy superstars or a genuine attempt to see beyond the hype to the real people behind the headlines? 

But H&M (as they call each other, arf! They didn't think that one through) are pleading for privacy through a slickly-produced docuseries created with biggest streaming service in the world, in association with their own company, Archewell Productions. They are decrying the destructive elements of the media, who, if this reported $100 million deal is to reap rewards, will be required to report about it. As I settle in with my popcorn and my deadline, I wonder... am I just a pawn in their sick game?
