The Netflix Docuseries Scrutinized: Fact or Fiction?

Investigative journalist Tom Bower is back with another bombshell—this time targeting Meghan Markle’s Netflix docuseries, which he claims was less a documentary and more a “strategically curated” effort to paint her as a “saint-like victim.” In his upcoming book, Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, Bower dissects every frame of the series, alleging “exaggeration, omission, and outright fabrication” in Meghan’s portrayal of royal life.

And the Duchess isn’t taking it lying down. Sources close to Meghan confirm she has “lawyers on standby”—raising the specter of a legal battle that could rival the couple’s previous lawsuits against the British press.

“A Tight Grip on the Narrative”

Bower’s book, based on interviews with unnamed production insiders, paints a damning picture of Meghan’s involvement in the series. According to his sources:

Creative Control Gone Too Far? The Duchess allegedly micromanaged the project, stifling opposing viewpoints and pressuring the team to “omit inconvenient truths.” One source claims: “Any attempt to present balance was shut down—it was her story, her way.”
“Villains” and “Victims” The docuseries reportedly framed critics—including palace staff and media figures—as “one-dimensional antagonists,” while Meghan was portrayed as an “innocent target of persecution.” Bower counters with testimonies from these same individuals, offering starkly different accounts.
Contradictions Uncovered The book highlights moments where Meghan’s on-screen claims clash with past interviews and private remarks, accusing her of “rewriting history.”

Netflix’s Ethical Dilemma

Bower’s investigation doesn’t just implicate Meghan—it questions Netflix’s role in “prioritizing drama over truth.” With streaming giants under fire for blurring lines between documentary and advocacy (see: The Crown), the book asks: Should platforms be held accountable for airing one-sided narratives?

Meghan Fights Back

Though no lawsuit has been filed yet, Meghan’s team is reportedly “weighing legal options.” A close friend defends her: “This is yet another smear campaign. Meghan shared her truth—that’s not a crime.” But Bower remains defiant, telling Good Morning Britain: “I stand by every word. Let the courts decide.”

The Bigger Picture: Celebrity, Media, and Manipulation

Beyond royal gossip, Bower’s book taps into a cultural reckoning:

The Rise of the “Polished Victim” Narrative Are celebrities like Meghan using trauma as a branding tool?
Streaming’s Credibility Crisis When docs prioritize entertainment over accuracy, who checks the facts?
