Documentary director criticizes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s image amid deportation rumors

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved from royal life in the United Kingdom to private life in the United States a few years ago. However, the couple remains constantly the subject of public and media attention. Their departure, known as Megxit, continues to fuel debate among royal commentators and documentary makers.

The couple, often described as a pseudo-royal couple, are now the focus of an upcoming German documentary. Ulrike Grunewald, the director of the documentary, shared her views on the couple’s post-royal life and raised questions about their image and integration into their new environment.

In an interview with The Daily Mail, Grunewald noted that the couple apparently had difficulty settling into life in Montecito, California. “They have isolated themselves,” she said, adding that they have “not lived up to the image” they once set.

The move to the United States was initially seen by many as a new start for the couple. Supporters believed it would provide a more supportive environment, given their claims of mistreatment as senior royals. However, Grunewald’s comments suggest that the transition has been far from smooth.

Prince Harry is facing persistent rumors about his visa status in the United States. Speculation about possible deportation has been fueled by his previous revelations about drug use, including in his memoir Spare.

These claims reflect the couple’s long-standing concerns about security and privacy. Harry and Meghan have repeatedly spoken about protecting their family, especially in light of what they describe as a lack of support from the royal institution. In their high-profile interviews, they have emphasized their priority: “protecting their peace.”

The Sussexes have faced mixed reactions on both sides of the Atlantic. Although they initially found a strong fan base in the US, public opinion has changed following a series of controversies, including failed business ventures and criticized media appearances.

Despite the challenges, some commentators suggest that Harry and Meghan’s decision to remain relatively private may be intentional. Their push for privacy is consistent with the reasons behind their departure from the royal family, which Meghan has described as necessary for their well-being.

Grunewald’s observations and the continued public interest in the couple’s lives shed light on the complexities surrounding their post-royal journey. Whether the Sussexes’ isolation is a choice or a result of circumstance, their story continues to fascinate people around the world.
