The first half of a riveting new docuseries featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been released on Netflix.
In a thought-provoking column for the New Zealand Herald, Daniela Elsa, a renowned writer and royal commentator, stirred controversy by suggesting that Prince William is the true focus of Meghan and Harry’s bombshell series.
Elsa further asserts that Harry is exacerbating the situation by continuing to make damning accusations against the royal family alongside Meghan Markle.
In a poignant reflection on the aftermath of the documentary’s premiere, Elsa emphasizes a neglected figure in the unfolding drama – Prince William.
Described as the eldest child of the late Diana and King Charles III, William is portrayed as the one who tenderly passed tissues under his mother’s bathroom door during her moments of grief, and the one who stood by his brother through their shared teenage struggles.
Elsa laments the overshadowing of Prince Charles’s anguish amidst the media frenzy surrounding the Sussexes’ public grievances.
The column delves into Harry’s controversial decision to include clips from Princess Diana’s 1995 Panorama interview, a move that directly contradicted William’s expressed wish to keep those memories private.
Elsa deems this action as “rubbing salt in the wound,” particularly highlighting William’s discomfort with revisiting past traumas.
Drawing attention to the once strong bond between the royal siblings, a close friend of William and Kate reveals the profound toll the tumultuous past years have taken on William.
In a heartwarming moment captured in the Netflix series, Harry expresses gratitude towards his late mother for shielding him and William from the intrusive paparazzi and media scrutiny during their formative years.
As footage of Diana confronting photographers during a family ski trip plays, Harry acknowledges her protective instincts and sacrifices for her children.
The documentary’s second installment is set to air on December 15, promising further revelations and emotional insights.
On a lighter note, former rugby star Mike Tindall made headlines when he flaunted a vibrant light green manicure, courtesy of his daughter Mia, upon his return from Australia.
Sporting the eye-catching nail polish at an event at the Cheltenham racecourse, Tindall exuded confidence in his unconventional accessory.
Accompanied by his wife Zara, the couple enjoyed the Cheltenham international meeting, marking a stylish return to the public eye following Tindall’s stint on the reality show “I’m a Celebrity.”
Despite concerns over inclement weather, the Cheltenham races proceeded smoothly after thorough inspections ensured safe racing conditions.

As the day unfolded with thrilling races and unexpected twists, the spirit of competition and camaraderie prevailed, showcasing the resilience and tradition of the Cheltenham races.
