Taking charge of your own narrative gives you confidence and authority. And since making the decision to leave their official positions as senior royals, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have done just that. Meghan and Harry have recently opened up about the circumstances that led to their choice to pull back in a significant interview with Oprah, which has since been nicknamed the “Megxit” manoeuvre.

Currently, Netflix is previewing a new film called Harry and Meghan which was produced by the pair themselves after they inked a significant deal with the streaming service in 2020.

“When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear the story from us?” The teaser clearly indicates that this documentary will be an intimate look at the couple’s life and their version of events by asking that question.

When asked why he decided to make this documentary, Harry responds, “No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors.”

And the timing for the Royal Family could not be more unfortunate.

As a working royal, the Duchess of Sussex faced “disgusting and very real” threats, according to the departing assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

Neil Basu said he would comprehend if Meghan felt “under threat all the time.”

According to him, people have been charged with crimes related to threats.

Prince Harry, who will emigrate to California in 2020 with Meghan, admitted last year that he didn’t feel secure while in the UK.

The abuse the couple experienced prior to their departure and its effects on their mental health have been a frequent topic of conversation. Prince Harry attacked social media trolls for targeting Meghan in a statement he made in 2016 after the pair made their relationship public.

In his farewell interview as assistant commissioner, Neil Basu, the former director of counterterrorism policing in England, was speaking to Channel 4 News.

He said, “you’d seen the stuff that was written and you were receiving it, the kind of rhetoric that’s online, if you don’t know what I know, you would feel under threat all of the time.”

He affirmed, “Absolutely,” when asked if there had been actual far-right threats against Meghan.

“We had teams investigating it. People have been prosecuted for those threats.”

He claimed to have previously addressed the issue of “extreme right-wing terrorism,” calling it the “fastest growing” threat he faced.
