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

I'll stick with Jamie Oliver and his massive shed in his garden. I absolutely love his shed ( with running water and electric) but his dog Conker steals the show (and his Dad when he pops in).

Not bothered about Meghan but this seems like Pippa and her book again.

I just find it all a bit meh. This is not something she’s known for or known to be an expert in, so why would anyone watch it?

I think that's definitely a problem, @Littlemisscapable , it's not her home, it's not really her life. However, she's probably trying to balance privacy with welcoming people into her life and lifestyle, so that's where it's bound to get compromised. I think if it was just a cookery show it wouldn't matter too much, but this is At Home With Meghan.

@PootlemcSmootle people always evaluate miniseries!

It's not her house therefore the show loses its authenticity right there. She could have made something much more relatable and clever its a shame this is so twee and silly. She doesn't know who her audience is. Something more real about life with snall kids could have engaged people a lot more amd it would have been nice for them to have a win.... The way she talks about kids would make me think she doesnt actually know many ! Its like big little lies tv series but without the interesting drama.

Can you just stop this nasty bullying? I'm not bothered about her one way or the other, but for god's sake she's been relentlessly targeted for years under one excuse or another. Just leave her alone.

It's not a bad premise for a show, but I think it's tricky to get right and hit the spot. Perhaps have friends who she's more relaxed with? or have a regular cook who can demonstrate recipes and she learns along?
I think she's fine to sell the pancake and the cake mix and whatever, but more practical cooking tips would be good.

Yes, I don't know why that's a problem, really. It's part of her royal title, she's free to use it. I've often heard of Beatrice York and Sophie Wessex

Sooooooo many dried flower sprinkles. Why?!?!?!?? Does anyone in real life use those?!

Isn't Sussex her official last name? Like William's children are George, Charlotte and Louis Wales at school? And Beatrice and Eugenie are York.

Just watched a bit of it. Clips from the LA one and the final.

I don't eat meat so wasn't interested in the chicken but liked the crudités and fruit. She did say it was a food and lifestyle show, but I found it bland.

I don't hate her, and I like cooking, gardening, crafting etc. I watched and enjoyed it to an extent. Meghan's likeable enough, but the dialogue with her friend was boring and self-conscious.

I'll watch it again, as I found it quite calming. I might pick up the odd bit of inspiration. Polished but dull, really.

True

Meghan Sussex???

🤣🤣🤣

I thought she was an independent feminist rejecting royal life?

I'm a sucker for a lifestyle type show and, knowing that she'd previously had a blog or something on this sort of thing which sounded like it was semi-successful so thought that this had potential,
I really didn't like it and can't quite put my finger on why. I know that all of these thjngs are pretty carefully choreographed and often at least half scripted but this seemed particularly so. The fact much of it wasn't in their house undermined it further. It was supposed to be this insight into her/their life yet it clearly can't be, Ultimately, though, I think I'm just baffled by the whole thing about privacy and then doing something like this. The bit about the Sussex surname is weird too. Surely that's not actually their surname.
It's a hard life in some ways that they are having to carve for themselves. I don't think that this helps with that.

I don't hate her, but I won't be watching the show.

I thought Sussex was just a title, not an actual change of surname. How many surnames does the royal family have? 🤣

I don't hate the Duchess of Sussex but have no interest in watching celebrity lifestyle programs so won't be watching.

To all the haters, remember in the UK the media have been taken to court and sued by them several times over the years, you'll never read anything impartial from our gutter press, they want us to hate them to boost their clickbait revenue.

They are deranged and obsessed. Justine also used the word deranged in an interview to describe some posters here when they talk about Meghan. She wasn’t wrong. The RF board is wild.

The Daily Mail needs serious help on the topic of Markle. They are absolutely deranged!

I won't be watching but I don't hate Meghan in the slightest. I think she's incredibly beautiful and I liked her in suits. I just don't think watching her make honey or a fruit platter is very entertaining. I'd rather see her return to acting.

I watched 4 shows as I love cooking programs. Best recipe came from a Korean chef who shared a fried chicken recipe I’ll probably try sometime. My personal opinion on Meghan; I don’t hate her, she looked very chic - picture perfect life, and I love to see women winning. Watching the show she reminds me a lot of my brothers now ex wife, who whilst lovely and gorgeous just had no depth, rather two dimensional and very spoilt by her parents but smart and hard working. I don’t mean this as an insult some people just aren’t complex and honestly I rather envy as their life often looks easier. Meghan’s Achilles is that she cares what people think of her, being popular and liked.

I watched a clip of her putting fruit on a plate as a dish. Just fruit, on a plate. So it is as shit as I thought it was going to be. Here is the clip R

Don't hate her and don't love her. I can't underatand who the audience is for the cooking show though as it looks terribly boring and I would put it in the same bucket as The One Show. So boring and unnoffensive that it is shit.

I don’t hate her — am generally indifferent to her and Harry. From what I’ve seen of the show (clips and reviews etc.) it looks perfectly pleasant but about 15-20 years too late for the kind of genre she’s aiming at.

If what she is after is a kind of Barefoot Contessa meets Nigella Lawson meets Goop, I kind of think that’s all a little bit too 2007-2010. The world has moved on; and we’re now post a decade or more of austerity and Trump and Brexit and Ukraine — it feels pretty irrelevant to be hankering after a delightfully curated lifestyle of homemade jam and linen napkins tied up with grosgrain ribbons and fresh wildflower posies from the kitchen garden. It’s just too reminiscent of a moment in time before we all had far grimmer and more pressing things to worry about.
