I don't think the show is bad or anything. I think the premise is quite funny.
I quite like a few British shows. One of them is called "Bo' Selecta" and is fairly similar (offensive caricatures being the main joke).
My main gripe with "The Prince" is that it was created by Netflix, almost certainly with the goals of appealing to the vicious anti-Monarchy community and pissing off British monarchists/conservatives. But you bet your ass that Netflix wouldn't even dream of creating an intentionally funny and offensive caricature of the whole "Ngozi Fulani" incident.

Big whoop.
I have as much disdain for journalists as the next guy, but so what?
She knew what she was getting into, and she wasn't the victim of absolutely unbearable, life-ruining racist harassment, as she claims she was.

“Other people have it worse so she’s not allowed to talk about what happened to her”
Someone change the record, it’s stuck.

So why is she not allowed to talk about her treatment by the family, the royal household and the press?

The British press have always been brutal to the Royal family. You really think that Megan is being treated any worse than Diana was? How about the current Queen consort?
And yes, I am going to dismiss extremely wealthy people that live extremely privileged lives complaining about family drama. I would rather put my focus on compassion on the marginalized and the poor that have little to no privilege and little to no wealth. The homeless teenage trans person of color that was kicked out by their parents deserves society’s attention, not people in Megan’s situation. Extremely rich and extremely privileged people complaining about their “oppression“ makes me physically ill

Aren't those four arguably more leading news stories as compared to an argument between royals?

You do realise this started because Harry called out the fact the press was treating Meghan exactly the same way they treated Diana (and we all know how that ended)?
