Would you be making a series about petals and spaghetti or doing something useful?

I watched about 3 minutes of it.

She does clutch at those straws, bless her.

Samcro · 07/03/2025 09:30

there is a whole meghanbash topic

lentilbake16 · 07/03/2025 09:36

I was sort of disinterested in her tbh. But it turns my stomach. How do they live with themselves? They could quietly achieve a great deal.

Why watch only 3 minutes of it? You care enough to post about it. Just watch the whole thing.

How many more ways can people pour their scorn and hatred on a person on one website?
I'm not a fan of the woman, but the ability of people here to post numerous threads is beyond me. Where do you get the time?

neverknowinglyunreasonable · 07/03/2025 09:45

Please remember that not watching her and not posting about her is also an option.

Clopo · 07/03/2025 09:46

If I was an actress I’d want to continue in the entertainment field, as is the standard for all millionaires in the entertainment sector.

PrincessAnne5Eva · 07/03/2025 09:48

Oh I thought this was going to be a fantasy thread of what we'd do with a bunch of money. 🤣 I'd retire from work and work on my novel.

KitsyWitsy · 07/03/2025 09:57

I'd hire a 'Glam Squad' like on Real Housewives. No excuse for the state she is in half the time.

lentilbake16 · 07/03/2025 10:03

@PrincessAnne5Eva it can be!

I'm not interested in her or being horrible about her.
What does interest me is humanitarian work. And the mentality of people who have much more than enough but don't share it.
I would love to be in such a position and run and manage schemes to help people.

She can only make content approved by Netflix and serious, worthy content isn’t going to make money. (Remember that they cancelled “Pearl” )

I don’t think that being rich means that you should only do serious content. If you’re rich you have the luxury of picking projects that you would enjoy filming and since this project was filmed near their home, that might have been a major draw. The couple left the RF so they could pursue commercial projects for the money and not have to consider the social worthiness.

I’ve not watched it and won’t ever watch it apart from short clips that I’ve seen on social media so won’t comment on content but will be interested on reviews of 30 dollar strawberry spreads etc

lentilbake16 · 07/03/2025 10:12

I seriously don't get it. The level of disconnect from what is going on in the world and what is going on in their world.

Anyhow, no worries.

If I had that much money, I'd live discreetly enough that nobody would know enough to make threads on MN about what I was doing with it.

But some people like being more public. Different strokes I suppose.

mondaytosunday · 07/03/2025 10:25

If I had her millions and two young kids I'd be enjoying my life with them. I wouldn't feel the need to share it with the world. But I'm not an actress used to being in the public eye and getting affirmation that way.

Onlycoffee · 07/03/2025 10:28

You could say that for a lot of millionaires/billionaires ie why don't they do something useful with their time and money.

I guess for people who already have access to everyfhing money can buy, they want more and seek out fame and power.

SmalllChange · 07/03/2025 10:29

I imagine their security bill alone is horrendously high.

If she makes her own money she gets slagged off for not doing free work.

If she doesn't make her own money she gets slagged off for not making her own money.

I've seen a few clips of her show and it's not for me, but fair play if she can get money out of Netflix for doing it.

keyboardtypo · 07/03/2025 10:30

Is she different from any other celebrity? Perhaps she loves petals & spaghetti!

keyboardtypo · 07/03/2025 10:31

I'm not interested in her or being horrible about her.

It's amazing how so many aren't interested in her but are also obsessed

Purplecatshopaholic · 07/03/2025 10:32

I too am in the not watching camp. Life’s too short.

BarneyRonson · 07/03/2025 10:32

There is a morbid fascination as to how awful she is, her level of awful is beyond hyacinth bucket level. I can’t watch her at all though, there’s something very wrong with her that makes me run in the other direction.

This is why Princess Anne is my favourite royal. If I'm very honest, I don't know if I'd have enough energy or enthusiasm for all the charitable work she does in the average year. And she just keeps trucking with it all. And finds time for her horses as well.

ohfook · 07/03/2025 10:33

If I had millions like Meghan and wanted to make a TV show, I'd bloody make it. I'd do whatever the fuck I wanted as should she!

ohfook · 07/03/2025 10:34

And also I'd rather a rich millionaire nobbing around with candles and spaghetti than a rich billionaire buying their way into a government.

keyboardtypo · 07/03/2025 10:35

True dat!

Hoppinggreen · 07/03/2025 10:36

She is an actress, presumably she enjoyed it so I can see why she would want to continue and given who she married it might not be appropriate for her to do the kind of roles she did before. Plus she wasn't great to be honest.
So by doing these lifestyle type things she still gets to act in a "safe" way

You could also ask why does Tom Cruise still make movies
