Meghan caught out changing key details in her and Prince Harry’s story

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been caught out changing four key parts of their story in their new Netflix docu-series.

Harry & Meghan Their First Date Netflix

Say it again?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were accused of rewriting history by changing at least four details in their often-repeated story.

The highly anticipated Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan finally dropped on Thursday.

The former royals have been under intense scrutiny since the series was announced, and the criticism has grown even louder since a pair of trailers were released over the last week.

Avid royal fans have already spotted four moments in the series that don’t align with previous interviews by the pair.

How they met

In their engagement interview with the BBC in 2017, the couple said they were “set up” on a “blind date.”

By Thursday, that changed to Harry admitting: “Meghan and I met on Instagram.”

The proposal

In the same 2017 interview, Meghan said that Harry “got on one knee” while she was “trying to roast a chicken” at Harry’s cottage in Kensington Palace.

However, they gave Netflix an intimate image Meghan took of that very moment — showing her prince instead taking a knee while they were outside on a candle-strewn blanket with his sweetheart’s dog beside him. Amazingly, Meghan snapped the photo of the exact moment, despite Harry having said he took her by complete surprise, although he admitted she realised something was happening when he had earlier got the champagne out.

Her outfits

“Most of the time I was in the UK, I rarely wore colour,” Meghan said, claiming protocol forced her to instead wear camel, beige or white.

However, The Sun noted that she was often photographed in vibrant-coloured outfits, including bright red, yellow and green dresses.

Their silence

“We’ve never been allowed to tell our story,” Harry said early in the six-part special, with his wife adding dramatically: “Until now.”

Seemingly they are the only ones to have forgotten their two-hour special with Oprah Winfrey in March last year, or the numerous podcasts, magazine interviews or back-stabbing bios they helped advise.
