'I feel like a FOOL': Sarah Vine slams 'ultimate narcissists' Harry and Meghan Markle for their Netflix docuseries
LONDON, UK: Reviews for ‘Harry & Meghan’ are harsher than what the two might have anticipated as Sarah Vine is not mincing her words while lashing out at the Sussexes. The British columnist has claimed to finish the whole Netflix new bomb number and asserted that she was fooled by it.
Writing for the Daily Mail, Vine noted, “Having watched the final three episodes, I feel like a fool. More than that, I feel like I've been played. Like we've all been played — the public, the Press, the Palace. Because not only is it clear that Harry is very far from a vulnerable individual, scarred by his trauma but fundamentally well-meaning; I'd say that from the footage presented, the pair of them — Harry and Meghan — also planned all this right from the start.”

Calling Harry “arrogant, bitter, vicious,” she has warned people not to get convinced by the “adorable footage of him cuddling the dog or goofing around on holiday.” Vine also shared that after watching the docuseries, she has understood why the royal family failed to include Harry and Meghan after numerous efforts. She explained, “The clearest evidence of the lengths to which Harry is prepared to go to wound anyone who crosses him is what he says about the famous Sandringham summit, when he met with his family to try to negotiate a smooth exit from public life."
“The stuff about William shouting at him, King Charles lying — and the Queen just 'quietly sitting there and taking it all in'. I bet she was, the poor woman. She was probably wondering what on earth had happened to the charming grandson she knew. As for William — 'it was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me' — well, that's what tends to happen when you drive people almost to the brink of insanity with your nonsense about being 'bullied' and sidelined: they get upset,” Vine added.
In her sharp criticisms against the ex-senior royal member, Vine also expressed her shock over how the two always managed to capture themselves on camera. “At first, I didn't really register it. But when you stop to think about it, it's just weird. I mean, who films themselves all the time like that? There's something about it that just feels a little . . . well, premeditated,” she stated, before giving several examples like, “Snogging; on a swing; dancing in the doorway of their cottage; eating some chicken; doing a Zoom; crying while getting in a car on the way to the airport; going for a walk; going for another walk; making a cake; kissing by a pool; sitting in bed.”
“There is literally no aspect of their existence that doesn't seem to have been captured either on film or in photographs. At one point they even film themselves setting up a camera in order to . . . film themselves in their chicken coop. It's bizarre. I mean, Kim Kardashian is more selfie-shy than these two. And she made a sex tape,” the writer remarked.
Vine then went on to refer to the husband and wife as “the Duke and Duchess of Influencers,” as she concluded, “It's almost as though, right from the start, they had a certain narrative they wanted to shape — and that documenting everything fed into their narcissistic little plan. Because that's how Harry and Meghan appear to many of us: the ultimate narcissists in an age of narcissism.”
