Feel free to skip episode 1 of Harry & Meghan

It doesn't get any duller

Do you know those people who wrote this week that the documentary of Harry and Meghan would shake Buckingham Palace to its core and that all the spin doctors of England were ready with a plan of action? Well, they can lean back for a moment. At least, if episodes 2 and 3 are just as boring as episode 1.

I just quickly watched it (for you, for you) and I found it absolutely nothing. Well, it’s really nice to see the first messages from Harry (Prince Haz) and Meghan (M) and the first love photos, but the ‘s’ here really stands for ‘sweet’ and not for ‘shocking’. After spending about thirty minutes explaining the meeting (he was late the first time, she the second), it cautiously went back in time. To the birth of Harry, to be precise. The second half of the documentary was used to show Harry's special status. How everything he did was world news and how he already thought: how can I ever find a woman who is able and willing to bear everything that comes with my family?

Then we go back to the love of Harry and Meghan, their unspoiled months and the chaos when the news leaked. And that’s about it.

So a must see? Not at all. However, it's wonderful to see the real Diana in all the old footage. Especially now that the last season of The Crown has so many parallels with this chapter of Harry's life and you literally see the same scenes in real life that you just consumed in The Crown.

I hope for more value for my money in parts 2 and 3, but this was, in terms of shock effect, well below par.
