It’s a common theme that when things go wrong for Meghan and Harry, they rarely take responsibility. The recent scrutiny of their Netflix deal exemplifies this trend. Despite the poor reception of their projects, Meghan continues to present a polished facade, reminiscent of classic Hollywood characters, while the reality behind the scenes tells a different story. The Sussexes' partnership with Netflix has been fraught with challenges. Their latest project, which was supposed to showcase Prince Harry's passion for polo, has faced significant setbacks. Insiders revealed that the original concept was drastically altered due to a lack of cooperation from the royal family regarding video footage and image rights.

Prince William's ability to maintain a positive public image contrasts sharply with the struggles faced by Harry and Meghan. By focusing on his royal duties and family commitments, William has effectively overshadowed the Sussexes' attempts to carve out their niche in the entertainment industry. Harry’s outreach to his brother and father for footage clearance highlights a crucial mistake. The lack of response from William and King Charles not only stunted the Sussexes’ project but also reinforced the perception of their isolation from the royal family. This situation underscores the unique position of the royal family, where cooperation is vital for success in public ventures.

As the Sussexes faced hurdles, the narrative surrounding their polo project emphasized. What was once a personal journey for Harry transformed into a more generic portrayal of polo as a glamorous sport. This change reflects not only the challenges of production but also the broader struggle for relevance in a competitive entertainment landscape. Public interest in the royal family is complex and often fickle. While Harry and Meghan attempt to engage audiences with their personal stories, William's consistent portrayal of duty and family values resonates more deeply with the public. This difference in approach may explain why the Sussexes find themselves on the defensive.
