Meghan Markle: An American Princess (2018)

Good concept, poorly executed.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This documentary sets the scene superbly and gives a well balanced overview of the British Monarchy and the changes taking place in the 'Firm'.The comparisons with the past gives the viewer an insight in how anyone from the outside will have to adapt and learn to fit in. Rich in customs and quirky traditions will make a tough change, but will Meghan Markle, with her strong individual mind survive this life change intact?I wish her well and time will tell.

It's two-hours of mostly anti-Brit tabloid trash. It's clear that whoever put this together hates everyone in the Royal Family except Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, who Meghan is frequently compared to in this program, just like Kate was when she married William. Why does every Royal bride have to endure that? There will never be another Diana and no one can compare to her...leave it alone already!Anyone they could speak ill of, they did, in spades! Anyone they could find to make Meghan or Harry themselves seem less than perfect, they did. They even dug up Meghan's half-sister to whine on camera about how she's not invited to the wedding (I'm sure there are reasons that are nobody's business). It's also like they think she's too good for his family and will regret her decision. Then they went on about how hard it will be for her to manage the etiquette and how she's going to have to keep her outspoken opinions to herself...OMG, Meghan won't be Meghan anymore! As if she's so naïve, she's never thought about any of this...and if she hasn't, that's no one's problem but her's. She's not a teenager like Diana was!Then there's the pile of wannabe experts who try to come off like they know more than they do...they're just plain nauseating, spouting off claims that they know details that don't even sound credible. How Meghan is the more dominant one and how someone's seen plans for a house in the U.S. How typically American! After a while, I just wanted it to be over. The only thing I learned from this is that some Americans really hate the Brits and are really unhappy to be losing an actress they hardly noticed until she got engaged to an English prince.
