Why Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Were ‘Wrong’ To Do This With Baby Archie

They’re in the midst of a lawsuit against British tabloids for unethical practices when it came to obtaining information about them and are the subjects of a new documentary where they discuss why they are taking action and desire more privacy. However, even describing why they’ve done the things they have isn’t enough for the critics who feel Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in the wrong.

Despite Prince harry discussing how he still feels trauma when he sees the flash of a camera because of the paparazzi’s role in his mother’s death and Markle explaining how tough her transition as a wife, mother and royal has been in a new documentary, the couple is still coming under fire for the way they tried to keep their son, Archie Harrison, shielded from the public.

The comments come shortly after excerpts of the upcoming documentary “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey,” which chronicled the couples’ recent tour, were released. In the excerpts, Prince Harry revealed that he still feels emotional wounds that stem from his mother’s sudden death over 20 years ago, while the former actress discussed the amount of pressure and challenges she has faced due to extensive negative press coverage.

“I would say...look any woman, especially when they are pregnant, you are really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging,” she told ITV’s Tom Bradby. “And then when you have a newborn, you know? And especially as a woman its really, it’s really a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed …"
