Part 6/9:
The departure from royal duties has undeniably altered media dynamics for Harry and Meghan. With their stepping back from royal security and responsibilities, they have become more exposed to public opinion and satire. As one commentator notes, their move to “leave that security of the royal family and start mocking them” has opened the floodgates for criticism, humor, and opinion pieces.
The meme-worthy moments include Harry’s confrontational on-camera clips, which the satirists seize upon, exaggerating or parodying his reactions. While some viewers see Harry’s defensiveness as justified, others interpret it as emblematic of their struggles with media scrutiny and personal grievances.
