5. Harry and Meghan leave the UK
What was behind their decision to step back as senior royals? In January 2020 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they would step back as senior royals. Amol Rajan hears how this story emerged and examines the role the media played in their decision.
This five part series asks you to question what you think about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Why did the coverage of Meghan Markle turn so sour, so quickly? Why did the story turn from the fairy tale wedding of a prince and his new type of princess, to a tale of so-called duelling duchesses? Amol hears from the people who wrote this very modern drama: the reporters, columnists and broadcasters who shape public opinion on royalty. Allegations of sexism, racism and strategic leaks – he examines them all.
