‘The View’ Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin Clash Over Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix Documentary
The View co-hosts, Ana Navarro and Joy Behar, were completely annoyed when discussing Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix Documentary detailing the couple’s hardships while living with the British royal family.
Because of the documentary’s release timing, Joy Behar believes the couple is looking for publicity. A theory Ana Navarro and fellow co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin were in agreement. The ladies rolled their eyes and expressed they couldn’t care less about the film.
Meanwhile fellow co-hosts, Sunny Hostin and Sarah Haines, feel the couple were victims of an invasion of privacy and racism from members of the royal family.
During the December 2 show, the trailer for the documentary “Harry & Meghan,” was shown, and Joy Behar pointed out that the timing of the trailer’s release was “interesting,” since it coincides with Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Wales, visit to Boston this week.
Joy asked her co-hosts, “So, do you make anything of this release? Do you think it was deliberate?” Hostin pushed back on the idea, saying, “Well, I didn’t realize they had that much power within Netflix, that they could say, ‘We’re gonna drop it now because my brother and his, you know, his wife are coming to the states.'”
Joy then asked, “Well, don’t you think Netflix made the decision rather than them?” Alyssa quickly responded, “Smart marketing,” although Sunny Hostin dismissed the idea they manipulated the timing as such.
The panel discussed allegations of racism that Meghan faced by members of the royal family:
Sunny Hostin said, “But I do think that, you know, Princess, or Duchess at this point, Meghan told you exactly what was happening within the royal family. She told everybody that there was racism. She told everyone that she was the target of death threats and racism repeatedly, that the family refused to protect her.”
Sunny Hostin also brought up the claim that William’s godmother “is also a racist.”
Joy Behar rejected the claims as “hearsay,” to which Sunny clapped back, “There have been a lot of reports from Meghan and Harry themselves about the questioning of the color of what their baby’s skin would be coming from someone in the royal family.”
Joy again shared that the couple presented no proof of the racism allegations. Alyssa then claimed that the documentary seems to show that couple is “perpetuating putting themselves in the public eye, when that’s what they were trying to avoid.”
Ana Navarro slammed the couple and the documentary, saying, “First of all, I think Netflix is great at marketing and I think Harry and Meghan are great at marketing themselves. They have done — they’ve now earned tens and tens of millions of dollars out of their story, which they have been telling, it seems to me, for years now, and they’re very good at it.”
She added, “So I don’t know if they had the power to tell Netflix, ‘Drop it when my brother is here,’ but I think they probably did have the power to tell Netflix, ‘Don’t drop it when my brother is here.'”
Ana Navarro noted “was smart marketing,” but claimed she was tired of seeing the couple as victims. She said, “I just wish that every time I saw Meghan and Harry, they weren’t crying and wiping away tears.”
Sarah insisted they “wanted privacy, like they were harassed. I do believe everything she said.” Ana mocked the idea, asking, “Who wanted privacy?”
Sarah continued to argue they “wanted protection,” Joy chimed in, asking, “Do we really care? We’ve been dealing with election deniers and anti-Semites.”
Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix Documentary will reportedly air on December 8.
