The poor royals
shpointon22 December 2019
Meghan and Harry had the opportunity to bring awareness to the extreme hardship that has overtaken this country and they chose to turn it around and make it all about them. Using the opportunity to whine and complain about how hard they have it while using every opportunity to seize photo ops. They attend events and speak to women who have been abused and assaulted, and Meghan puts herself into the comparisons saying that she too is "a wounded creature". She attended the memorial site of a young girl who had been brutally raped and murdered, and chose to use it as a photo op instead of a private moment away from the cameras.

Meghan and Harry have no sense of reality. They are multi millionaires. They are royals who's lifestyle is paid for by the British taxes. They go off on private jets, Meghan has the most expensive wardrobe of all the royals and she's been in the family for about 2 years at this time. They have everything they will ever need and then some, yet, they want to complain about how hard their lives are. Meghan is complaining about the unfair scrutiny and begging for privacy, while she leaks Information about her private life and the royals to the media. This is just the most out of touch, tasteless and tone deaf "documentary" I've ever seen.

Tragic
sheannjam29 May 2021
Meghan in particular came across very disingenuous and it very much felt as if she was acting and not being herself. They were amongst some of the most deprived people in the world facing huge life challenges but even when staring in the face of this tried to get people feeling sorry for them. A pity the story was taken away from the African people.

Nice to see the good work they are doing
allanmichael3027 October 2019
The journalist tried to derail the program with stupid personal questions and they fell in to his trap. The program did however show that they are doing good work for Africa. The fact that Harry and his brother have differences is not going to last as they don't need the media attention this brings and have a strong bond. The media attention other than for his charity work however is just dumb, as he is no longer forth in line to throne. Let him and his family enjoy their life

This is a horrible documentary in content and topic
kmontgomery-985158 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This does a poor summary of the Sussexes charity work on their 2019 tour. This does a poor job of conveying how a royal tour functions. This does a poor summary of the charities featured. Instead Tom Bradley casts Africa as a continent full of sexual assault and war with no mention of British, Dutch, or Portuguese colonialism.

Beyond the poor documentary set-up, the content of rich royals complaining how hard life the day after visiting a mine field is a choice but really the issue is a poor documentary set-up.

Will likely be notable for Bradley saying "But this is a couple that feels themselves on a moral mission to challenge what they believe is wrong. Determined, as Harry said, "to not be bullied"" with the bullying accusations.

The love Harry and Meghan have for the African people
cindy-holguin24 October 2019
This was an excellent documentary! I can't believe how cruel people have been to them. The UK press have lead the example on cruelty. I am so proud of Meghan the Duchess of Sussex and how lucky the royal family is to have her!
