With just days to go until the Duke and Duchess of Sussex release their Netflix series, newspapers are turning a documentary about how the media treated the couple into a story about how the couple are treating the media.<\/p>\n
Monday’s release of a second trailer promoting the show has already led to suggestions of misleading editing, with several photos and clips taken out of context in the promotional video for the six-part show entitled Harry and Meghan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s a leaking but there’s also planting of stories \u2026 It’s a dirty game,\u201d says Prince Harry in the trailer, as flashbulbs break over a variety of archive and stock images.<\/p>\n
The Sun \u2013 one of the publications singled out in the trailer \u2013 ran the story on its front page under the headline \u201cSussex, lies and videotape\u201d. While some of the changes are small \u2013 a photo of Harry surrounded by paparazzi was cropped from an old picture with his ex Chelsy Davy, rather than with Meghan \u2013 some are more unusual. Two pieces of footage showing a scrum of cameras are taken from very different stories. One is from outside a magistrates court in Sussex where cameras were waiting to catch the glamor model Katie Price, another is footage of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen leaving his New York apartment.<\/p>\n
Another shot showing dozens of photographers with long-lens cameras jostling for position was in reality taken outside a Harry Potter movie premiere in 2011. It is one of the top results for \u201cpaparazzi\u201d on a popular stock image website.<\/p>\n
Robert Jobson, the Evening Standard’s royal editor, criticised another dramatic shot of a photographer’s lens peering down on the couple with their newborn child Archie. Jobson insisted it was taken with their approval by an accredited press photographer at Archbishop Tutu’s residence in Cape Town. He tweeted: \u201cOnly three people were in the accredited position. H&M [Harry and Meghan] agreed the position. I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n
