In a new documentary examining the lives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, royal biographer Andrew Morton says he sympathizes with Markle and what she has maintained as a senior member of the royal family – of dealing with racism in the British press to goal for doing the same things that Kate Middleton praised.

“I feel for this poor girl. I mean, she came into this country, parachuted in,” Morton said, according to the Daily Mail. “She is married into a very difficult family, which everyone finds difficult to get into. And she is someone who did not know very much about British history, British culture, and as she herself said, ‘She will be the ground run. ”

“She hit the ground running, but she found she came up against a brick wall,” Morton continued.

Channel 5’s new documentary, “Meghan and Harry: The New Revelations,” premiered in the United Kingdom on Saturday. It focuses on the journey of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, from working as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to stepping into royal life in full in the spring of 2020.

Markle probably felt frustrated as a working royal because she felt quiet, Morton said

“She’s frustrated by the fact that she could not give her side of the story,” Morton said. “All kinds of stories have come out about her, and she couldn’t answer back, and it’s something she found incredibly frustrating.”

Morton added in the documentary that in his opinion, the forthcoming book ‘Finding Freedom’, an unofficial biography of Harry and Markle by writers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, could be one way Markle shares her side of the story.

That being said, a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan previously told the BBC that the couple was never interviewed for the book.
