If you're a non-meghan markle hater, what's your opinion on her show on netflix?

Ps The sad thing is she and Harry could have been such an asset to the Royal Family - what a waste. Life’s too short to make dried flower sprinkles.

It is really that bad.
Pretty vacuous with a lot of ‘best friends’ telling her how wonderful she is.
Although she does claim that making people feel loved is important, and I agree with her - but don’t think her father, almost every in-law, nephews, niece, a number of former friends and Piers Morgan would agree. 🤣

I feel utterly neutral about MM, and I won't be watching her show, but I hope it's a massive success as it will really wind up all the weirdos who waste their energy ranting about her.

Yes, it was just a bit too dull and old fashioned. She didn't really seem to have much personality, which was strange, really.

I always thought that she was an intelligent and creative person, but this seems very dull and old fashioned. The strange thing is that she doesn't really cook much, there's a lot of packet stuff and adding bits of flowers or whatever. She doesn't come across particularly well, as if she's trying to create a different persona, it's strange. It's just disappointing. Someone described her as a Stepford wife, which isn't quite true, but the programme definitely regressive, like she's just decided to be housewife and homemaker.

I watched the first half and it was standard lifestyle fluff, which I rather enjoy. But it felt terribly fake; the weird scripted interview with the gut whose supposedly to be a close friend she's known for years. And a lot of unremarkable things were presented as being astonishing. I was making that pasta a decade ago from Martha Stewart.

On the subject of their Sussex surnames were they one day to be removed of their titles possibly when POW becomes king (disclaimer to avoid a flaming, I'm not saying that will happen or that I'm wishing it on them) would they have to all change their surnames to something else?

Adding title to first name is not unusual amongst people with titles, even if it isn’t technically a surname. Beatrice York or Sophie Wessex (as was) for example, so Meghan Sussex is fine. But she hasn’t used it in the 7 years that she’s been married and correcting a friend feels a bit contrived so it feel like a rebrand. Her book and podcast were ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’, and I’m sure people pointed out that was in the style of a divorce (she is The Duchess of Sussex) but she continued to use it.

Quite. Amazingly, Meghan knows her own name better than some random on the internet.

Well someone needs to tell Charles and William because they both use / used their titles as their children’s surnames and William used Wales (before he got the Cambridge title) as his surname when he was in the military.

Edited to say: Beatrice and Eugenie regularly used York as their surname before they were married, too.

i wouldn't worry about it. No one will be talking about it tomorrow 😂

Actually she’s right- just as William was William Wales at school, his kids were George Cambridge etc until the Queen died and then they became George Wales, and so on. They don’t all use Windsor as a surname, only the ones for whom
it’s actually their surname.

It sounds like the kind of thing you’d have on in the background while working from home

She would be much better than Trump. I am actually starting to think men shouldn’t be allowed in politics. They’re crap at it.

I normally like her but the show is a bit .... 'meh' ...?

It's a cooking/talk show nobody has asked for ... some people she knows really well, others have been invited ... I am not sure there is a clear defined reason for the show and for the first time I'm am struggling with her and I can't quite put my finger on why....

I've seen a few people say this and I feel this the closest I can get to my own answer and that is that it's just really removed from my reality and I feel like she's really clawing at looking normal... a few times she makes reference to her home... she's clearly not in her own space so it just doesnt feel as personal as she seems to want to appear.

I think it was because she said "you keep referring to me as megan markle, but its sussex". Sussex isn't her name; her name would be Megan Windsor, Her title is Duchess of Sussex. I'm not a royalist and even i Know the difference.
I've only watched a few eps, i'm assuming she wants to rebrand as the new Martha Stewart and good for her, but not my kind of thing.

I don’t hate MM, that would suggest I find her more interesting than she will ever be. If you asked ‘do I think Meghan Markle is a grifter’ - yes I do.

Oh give over with the racism nonsense.

I don't hate her and truly believe a lot of MSM hate stems from systemic racism.

However.. it looks like a fluff piece to rehabilitate her image as a homely wifely type. I'd never watch it but then real lives of or celeb watching aren't my thing either.

I watched the first episode. What struck me was how they both looked absolutely terrified! Meghan looked like she’d never gone near a cake before let alone baked one and the relationship between herself and friend didn’t come across as natural.

They seemed to relax more as the program went on and that pasta dish she made looked nice. I’ll probably watch the rest as it’s good escapism but the whole thing just felt forced. I’m not sure if all the bad press has done a number on her confidence….understandable if so.

I watched out of curiosity. It was boring and very patronizing. So much of what she says is glaringly obvious. More appropriate for a children's program.

Oh, I know. But I’m pretty sure that’s what she’s aiming for anyway. Netflix seem to think she’s got a chance of being profitable since I think they are backing the products, too.

I really have no real opinion of her but watching someone arrange some fruit on a board is absolutely not my idea of a good night in front of the tv

Just watched. It’s dreadfully dull and goes on too long

I’m not really into that type of show but I watched the first one earlier and it was nice enough. I’ll watch the rest.
