It must be an odd position for the Mail who were sued by the half of the royals while at the same time trying to put the boot into the BBC who they despise.

To be fair, people will make their own minds up about the stories in the media, too many lies told and even things said straight from the horses mouth can be quite unbelievable.

I thought it was very fair .
I dealt with the red tops on a daily basis in the early nineties including the odious Piers and they were ruthless in their pursuit of a story . The phone hacking and illegal access of records wasn’t a surprise knowing how they work/worked.

MM was given the opportunity to have two mouthpieces speak on the show without any challenges to their statements. When people lie about things that are then continually proven to be false, how could you ever trust them? Omid Scobie has shown that his loyalty to MM is stronger than truth telling, which as a journalist is unfathomable to me. He obviously knows where his bread is buttered.

I feel sorry for both boys growing up under such a harsh limelight. Only time will tell whose handling of the press has worked to their advantage.

In hindsight and looking at that list I can now see how the documentary has skipped over a lot of issues that could have been addressed, I was somewhat hasty in calling it unbiased.

I didn't see it all (fell asleep towards the end - it was a busy day!), but from what I've read, Meghan had her lawyer on there to defend her? From what I've read the lawyer dismissed claims that Meghan was a bully and difficult to work for. Well Meghan's spokesperson would say that, wouldn't she?!

So Meghan had prior access and was able to send a spokesperson in?

Apologies if I've got that wrong.

I would say losing 9 of her staff in 18 months paints a much clearer picture of the matter .

You have that completely right ! Meghan and Harry were given prior access but the family were not. This documentary features both Meghans lawyer and her mouthpiece Omid Scobie. Very impartial of the BBC !
