Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's documentary has been released in its entirety on Netflix. [As expected, Harry & Meghan has been incredibly controversial, with some commentators praising their courage and feelings about their difficult experience, while others have condemned their willingness to be open about such experiences.

"I have never understood the great divide over Meghan and why she is so disliked by certain segments of the British public," Lucy Thackray, a journalist for The Independent who recently wrote an op-ed in Meghan's defense, told Marie Claire.

"But the division in the comments since I wrote the article supporting her has made me think about the British people, change, and happiness. Many of the anti-Meghan comments were, 'The Royal Family and everyone else in the public eye has put up with being unhappy. So she should be too.'

Importantly, this point is also made by the Sussexes in their documentary, where some of the suffering Meghan endured as a member of the Royal Family is described as a sort of "rite of passage."

"It also made me think about how Meghan's Americanness (more specifically, her "Californianness") might affect how people feel about Harry and Meghan stepping back," Thackray continues.

"Whether it was after Meghan said she was depressed and prevented from seeking professional help from the Royal Family office, or after Harry said (in a new documentary episode) that it was his decision for them to leave the UK, people said, 'Meghan changed things. Change is bad.'

"The real crime here seems to be breaking a cycle that, from the looks of that documentary, is really sinister, unhealthy, and dangerous.

Here the journalist echoes a message Beyoncé texted to Princess Meghan. The Duchess read it aloud to Harry, saying, "She thinks I was chosen to break the curse of a generation to be healed."

In other California-esque news, the Sussexes participated in a meditation session in the documentary. In addition, Harry, along with William and Kate, has long been a proponent of working with therapists and making mental health a priority. These things can sometimes be jarring to some, especially in the UK, where the concept of "stiffs" lives on to this day.

"Whether it's a workers' strike or a new member of the royal family not wanting to bring her newborn baby out in front of the press hours after the birth, there is an old-fashioned or conservative There seems to be a British mindset," Thackray comments.

"Watching the new episode of Harry & Meghan, I was struck by how happy and healthy they seem to be now that they are out of the situation, and how wonderful their children's lives are. They spend a lot of time outdoors, are exposed to a lot of nature, and present family news whenever and however they want.

"If anyone is jealous of their happiness, I think they need to think for a minute that maybe they are talking about their unhappiness or their rut."
