I was up at the crack of dawn today in order to start watching HARRY & MEGHAN on Netflix, and I have to say, it was well worth it.

The first three parts of the Documentary were multifaceted and informative, and it does a stellar job of showing the humanity of the royal prince and his bride.

However…

If you’re hoping I’m going to start railing against them, this is the part where you’re going to be disappointed. I am going to start ranting, folks, but not at Meghan or Harry.

What I found appalling, atroicous, and downright sick within this excellent documentary was watching the diabolical footage of the Paparazzi.

We all know that Prince Harry’s mother, the stunningly beautiful Diana, died when the car she was riding in was chased by paparazzi through the Alma Tunnel in Paris. I remember so well the night when that awful news was announced. The next morning I applauded Diana’s brother, Harry’s uncle, the Earl of Spencer, for saying that the press who chased his sister for so long, and the newspapers who paid for her pictures, all had blood on their hands. Indeeed!

But this documentary shows a whole lot more.

It shows the press camped out in the hundreds, yes, hundreds, when the royals went on vacations, or left the house, or when the children went to school. What kind of a childhood can any boy have when there’s two hundred desperate cameramen waiting outside on his first day of school to photograph him simply entering the building? There is a predatory creepiness to the footage of the paparazzi encampments shown in the documentary. It made me want to let out a scream.

To make matters even stranger, the prevailing wisdom among the Royal Family seems to be that “there’s nothing to be done about it.”

Oh, really? Is that all anybody can say? I’m not one of these people, but I’m just warming up on this subject, and if I can rail on their behalf, by God, everybody else can, too!

I think this insanity needs to be re-examined, folks, without delay and from a legal standpoint. A photo opportunity is one thing, but what is depicted of the paparazzi in this documentary is nothing less than stalking and harassment. I’m going to repeat that. What was going on with those paparazzi lunatics regarding that royal family constitutes nothing less than stalking and harassment. I should think there definitely is something to be done about it, especially where children are concerned. If there’s no English laws on the books to stop little children from being hunted and chased by the media on their way to school or while on a vacation, then by God, there should be! We might never have lost Diana if there had been some protection against the vultures of the press in the first place. Yet on they go.

It’s an atrocity.
