I was wondering the same thing. What purpose did it serve? All it's done is cause more divisiveness among people (even in a thread on a figure skating board). They're now living the life they wanted, so why trash the relatives--pent up revenge anger for whatever reasons? Or maybe it's to keep relevant? With the events of the past year nobody has really talked about them, and Netflix and Spotify are going to eventually want a return on their investment.
It was a marketing masterstroke which serves to justify the huge amounts of money that Netflix and Spotify are paying them.
Overnight they've turned themselves from ho hum celebrities into extremely marketable celebrities. This is going to give them a content basis and platform for public speaking fees and appearances and documentaries for a very long time. And for Meghan, it's ensured her an individual platform for the rest of her life, regardless of what Harry does. It was a pretty impressive tactical take down of the royal family, whilst positioning themselves for their careers going forwards.
Obviously, the off-shot is Harry's relationship with his family is not existent and I will never be comfortable with him seeking retribution on his family through the media. But it's probably unlikely he had much of a relationship with his family for a long time.
Personally, I expect that we will be seeing a lot of Meghan and Harry publicly going forward.
But at the same time, a continuation of stoking division doesn't bring me any joy. And they have absolutely let the vampire over the threshold by inviting the media and public into their family breakdown.
