In the first moments of his score-settling film, Prince Harry confidently informs viewers that ‘no one knows the full truth’ about the events that have led to his and Meghan’s estrangement from the Royal Family.
Then he leans into the camera to declare that, actually: ‘We know the full truth.'
What’s more, he adds: ‘The institution knows the full truth.' Oh, and come to mention it: ‘The media know the full truth because they’ve been in on it.'
It is, of course, impossible for these four statements, delivered by Prince Harry within a few seconds of each other at the start of what purports to be a factual documentary, to be true simultaneously. After all, the final three remarks are completely at odds with the first one.
