Nothing will ever be good enough for Harry and Meghan

Imagine you’ve paid good money to see a French farce – and halfway through, it turns into a Greek tragedy. Do you ask for your money back, or think ‘Well, it’s not what I expected, but I’ll give it a go anyway’? I previously wrote of Meghan Markle’s Netflix outing ‘If she can provide “content” on this level – creating a character we love to hate on a level with an Alan Partridge or a David Brent – maybe we should just cave in and award her the applause she craves, because comedy gold such as this does not come knocking every day.’ Though ‘Volume One’ made many of us ooh and aah in scandalised disbelief, it did seem largely risible. But with Harry’s words in the trailer for the second half – ‘They were happy to lie to protect my brother, they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us’ – a dagger has appeared in the air and the younger brother is, for his own tormented reasons, attempting to plunge it between the shoulder blades of the elder.
