Television: Amid the archive dross of the new Netflix documentary only an occasional nugget glimmers

We learn that Harry’s friends refer to him as “Prince Haz” – does that make William Prince Waz? – and that Meghan knows him as “H”. And that, when he let it be known he would like to meet her, Meghan immediately scrolled through his Instagram feed. She was impressed to discover it largely contained images of elephants and African sunsets.

But elsewhere director Liz Garbus chucks in extraneous information like an undergraduate who has suddenly realised their already overdue essay is 1,000 words short. Royal experts are wheeled out to explain that the Windsors live in a gilded cage; old footage reminds us of the excitement in the UK over the birth of Harry. ]

Amid the archive dross, the occasional nugget glimmers. It is always moving to hear Harry speak about his late mother, Diana, for instance. Alas, there’s lots of loved-up treacle too. “This love story is only just getting started,” says Harry of Meghan. “She sacrificed everything she ever knew, the freedom she had, to join me in my world. I ended up sacrificing what I know to join her in her world.

If you’re watching with subtitles, the first words that flash across the screen are “poignant piano music”, referring to the gloopy soundtrack. “Poignant piano music” pretty much sums up this heartfelt and gloopy – and sometimes unwatchable – plunge into Planet Sussex.If there are bombshells, they are saved for further in. Out of the gate, the deal is that the Sussexes tell us what a terrible time they’ve had and we sit there and bask in the blinding glow of their mutual appreciation.

It's a parallel story to Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Except in the Cruises, Tom did not escape from the cult and is still on the other side

“Gloopy”? From a respected Irish paper? Seriously? Being drunk or stupid is no excuse, and lazy ought to get one fired. Criticism is an art, and in this it is failure.

It was actually that music that struck me most when Morning Ireland had a clip earlier! And her genuine & sincere [cough...] tone as she giggled about their first date. It sounded atrociously painful crap.

He needs to wake up. She is using him
