The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s spokesperson has hit back at critics and defended the pair’s bombshell Netflix docu-series in a new statement.

Harry and Meghan’s documentary featured many intimate photos of the couple including never-before-seen videos and images of their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

But this left many people questioning why they would reveal such personal moments when they have decided to step down from their royal duties in January 2020 to lead a ‘more private life.’

The Sussex’s global press secretary Ashley Hansen has released a statement and defended the documentary, saying the couple’s decision to move from the UK to the US didn’t mean they wanted to have a more private life.

Speaking to the New York Times, she said: “Their statement announcing their decision to step back mentions nothing of privacy and reiterates their desire to continue their roles and public duties.

“Any suggestion otherwise speaks to a key point of this series. They are choosing to share their story, on their terms, and yet the tabloid media has created an entirely untrue narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion. The facts are right in front of them.”

The first three episodes of the show are pictures and texts between the couple during the beginning of their relationship.

There are also video diaries from when they quit as working royals, photos from when the Duke popped the question, and videos of their children, including the Duchess showing her son a photo of his late grandmother Princess Diana.

The teaser for the second half of the documentary suggests that there will be more dramatic scenes than the first.
