5 things to watch in Harry, Meghan documentary - Good Morning America

Meghan, born to a white father and African American mother, reveals in the documentary how that line was added to her speech and talks about her hope that one day people can look past her race.

2. Harry as a dad

Harry and Meghan's 5-month-old son Archie joined his parents in South Africa, their first official tour as a family of three.

The couple appears at their happiest when they are with Archie, introducing him to Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his daughter Thandeka in Cape Town.

He also reflects on now being a dad and a husband under the media's glare, telling Bradby, \"I will always protect my family and now I have a family to protect.\"

3. Harry's ongoing grief over Princess Diana's death

The happy moments of Harry with his son are countered with more somber clips of Harry's reflecting on the loss of his mom, Princess Diana, who died in a 1997 car crash in Paris that involved paparazzi.

Harry describes her death as a \"wound that festers.\"

\"I think [of] being part of this family, in this role, in this job every single time I see a camera, every single time I hear a click, every single time I see a flash,\" he said. \"It takes me straight back, so in that respect it’s the worst reminder of her life as opposed to the best.\"

Harry spoke about his mom and the media's attention on his family today before it was announced publicly that he and Meghan have started legal action against several British tabloids.

\"Everything that she went through and what happened to her is incredibly raw every single day and that’s not me being paranoid that’s just me not wanting a repeat of the past,\" Harry told Bradby. \"And if anybody else knew what I knew, be it a father, be it a husband, be it anyone, you’d probably be doing exactly what I’m doing as well.\"

4. Meghan's real talk on motherhood

Meghan garnered sympathy and praise on social media after she acknowledged her struggle both as a new mom and one under a constant spotlight.

\"I would say, look any women especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable so that was made really challenging and when you have a newborn, you know, yeah, you know, and especially as a woman it’s really, it’s a lot,\" she said. \"So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or a newlywed it’s um, yeah, well, I guess, and also thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I’m OK.\"

Meghan also opens up about how she \"had no idea\" the depth of the scrutiny she would face after becoming Harry's wife.

\"I don’t think anybody could understand that,\" she said. \"In all fairness I had no idea, which probably sounds difficult to understand and hear, but when I first met my now-husband my friends were really happy because I was so happy but my British friends said to me, ‘I’m sure he’s great but you shouldn’t do it because the British tabloids will destroy your life.’\"

\"And I very naively – I’m American. We don’t have that there – [said], ‘What are you talking about? That doesn’t make any sense. I’m not in any tabloids,'\" she added. \"I didn’t get it. So it’s been, yeah. It’s been complicated.\"

5. Harry's relationship with Prince William

Harry addresses the rumors, fanned by British tabloids, of a rift between him and William, the only children of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, saying the two brothers are \"certainly on different paths at the moment.\"

\"Part of this role and part of this job and this family being under the pressure that it's under, inevitably stuff happens,\" he said. \"But look we’re brothers. We’ll always be brothers.\"

Bradby told \"GMA\" Wednesday that he sees the brothers as having \"two entirely different parallel narratives\" on topics including their mother's death.

\"Harry feels quite simply that the press killed his mother and is now in danger of trying to damage his wife,\" Bradby said. \"William has a more nuanced view of that and he thinks, yes, their mother did have a very hard time but also that she made a mistake in allowing the press in and he just is absolutely adamant that that shouldn’t happen and he thinks his brother sometimes is too open and then sometimes tries to close up and that doesn’t work.\"

\"The other thing is, Harry is essentially trying something new,\" Bradby added of Harry's approach to his royal duties. \"He’s appealing to a new demographic as he sees it, in a new way.\"

\"William has to play things in a more traditional way, and I think that’s where really most of the tension lies,\" he said.
