Opinion | Patricia Grisafi: The Harry and Meghan Netflix deal proves Hollywood, and America, won the revolution. - NBCNewsTHINK
But Meghan is having the last laugh as she and Harry fully embrace America. Despite what the British press would have you believe, Harry has made it clear that he's not being dragged kicking and screaming. With a well-documented ambivalence about royal life, Harry has been candid about the traumatic effect the death of his mother, Princess Diana, had on him.
The focus on family combats ways that Meghan has been criticized — for a fractured relationship with her father, for her divorce and for her totally normal behavior during pregnancy and new motherhood. And the"truthful and relatable lens" is a direct strike at the media for distorting the narrative that is Harry and Meghan's lived experience.
Meghan and Harry have indicated that they see the opportunity with Netflix as a chance to reverse some of the pain and scorn they've experienced. We all know that the American myths of rags to riches and upward mobility are just that: stories we tell to define core values of a country that is still fairly new. Has America failed to help people make those myths a reality? You bet. But in choosing to relocate to America, Meghan and Harry are saying it's more desirable to take a chance in America and be Hollywood producers than to remain in the British monarchy.
