The Meghan Markle-Prince Harry specials have been terrible

"Avoid all of these shows," Margaret Lyons says after watching seven of them, from TLC's When Harry Met Meghan: A Royal Engagement to Lifetime's Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance to CBS' Meghan Markle: American Princess. "The convergence of history, celebrity and glamour should be a fertile area for one-off TV specials, and there’s plenty of genuine information — about rituals, about rites, about politics, about tiaras, about dads — worth acknowledging or exploring," says Lyons. "Also, come on: Weddings are fun! At times, these shows are giddy and fizzy and dorky, and I learned a few historical tidbits along the way. But the claims to personal intimacy ranged from visibly untrue to quietly sad, and the shows all used many of the same talking heads, the same clips and the same dumb, dubious claims (no, Suits is not a celebrity-making show). A boring tabloid is a sin. Worse, the contrived narrative that the shows collectively push — the idea that Harry and Meghan’s romance is 'a fairy tale' — is jarringly backward."

Why TV is so overloaded with so much specials about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is that many people think they will become the new Prince Charles and Meghan Markle will become the new Princess Diana and I think from the time The Royal Wedding was televised on TV the specials are seen as a huge moneymaker for TV stations as a fill-in to replace reruns of sitcoms last seasons and also as a way for Britain's royal family to earn more money to add to their already filled multi-milliondollar bank. Take for instance when Princess Diana died there was countless TV specials on TV with titles such as Diana's Legacy "How Princess Diana Made The World Smile" Or The Real Truth About Princess Diana The Secret To What Really Happened Behind The Mysterious Crash" to Diana's Secrets and what I think is that there will be more Prince Harry and Meghan Markle specials to be made for TV in the future as their family grows in the years ahead. Another thing I've seen is magazines such as Majesty devote special issues to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and from what I see is that just like the magazines about Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding and new baby to Princess Diana's death these magazines will be collectible in the future. But I think these TV specials will become more popular as the years go by
