I tried.

I really did.

But JFC it's absolutely awful.

"Come and watch me make the most basic of crafts while telling me how much you admire me, and I gently patronise you"

Really awful.

I like MM. I think she's a decent actress and seems to be a decent person.

I find the hate towards her crazy. Some of the people who hate so vehemently I would cross the road to avoid because the level of vitriol is not normal.

That said though I won't watch this as it's not my cup of tea. I might buy her jam though, I like farm shops and shit like that so yeah I'd probably pick up a jar. Just won't watch the show.

I think some people do have a problem with her and don’t mind saying so. I do. I think she’s a pretty awful person because she lies, she’s spiteful and she’s a hypocrite. If she succeeds with this show then great, it might keep her out of mischief for a while.

I actually like Meghan. I met her on a walkabout way before all the nonsense happened and she did seem very humble and genuine. I know that doesn't really tell you much but I find calling her a hypocrite and liar very unfair considering she walked away from a family full of them (the Royals, Queen Elizabeth being the exception).

I get really annoyed at all the hatred spewed on her when two adulterers have been crowned who have done very little their entire lives. Camilla is the biggest freeloader out there (or grifter if that is the term we are using) and she certainly isn't fit to hold the current title she has.

That said...I am finding the show a bit Disney like. It's all a bit surreal. I love that she geuninely wants to make things beautiful and appealing, but considering I roll out of bed every morning and struggle to find my hairbrush, I find it a bit crazy that she can cook a meal, go beekeeping, make candles and an entire fruit platter in one episode. But I'm not putting down her personality because I think that is who she genuinely is. She isn't stuffy British royalty - which is why she was never ever ever going to stay there. But I agree with the poster who said to go a different path to do what she enjoys, not this.

So it all felt a bit off. But then I doubt Nigella's really got up in the middle of the night to eat brownies on the stairs when we see her doing that.

And Nigella is filmed in a staged kitchen in a warehouse, so Meghan shouldn't receive criticism for not doing her show at home.

Unfortunately this is true. I really do not understand why people do not see how this was their downfall. Equally Republicans would side with H &M in their quest to bring down the RF.

Or maybe old age was their downfall?

Nah, I'm a republican but I think they behaved badly, and I'm definitely not "on their side".

It does seem that Netflix have humiliated her deliberately. They knew it was crap. They could have helped her make it better, but they’ve put it out there for everyone to mock.

Everyone? Speak for yourself. I'm enjoying it, and seems a lot of others are too.
It's almost like everyone's got different tastes, isn't it?!

BustingBaoBun · 05/03/2025 12:15

I love your post. How dare anyone female step out of line and walk away from the revered royal family. How dare anyone need time out from an adulterous marriage like Charlene.

I admire Meghan greatly for not giving up and keeping on. After all, the tirade of negativity, abuse, name calling and sneering is on a level never seen before. I bet you every single member of the Royal family is very grateful the media has her as a punchbag because they can get on with their shady activities with the media not picking up on it.

I said on another thread... Sarah (divorced 30 years from a disgraced member of the RF but living on a Royal estate) has recently done some hook up with a meditation app and is pushing people on IG to sign up and get one year's free! And she was at a signing one of her dreadful Mills & Boon and crowned a simpering fan with a plastic tiara and put it on IG. As Duchess of York. Can anyone even begin to imagine if Meghan had done this?

She is a scapegoat for them all. Good on her with this lifestyle series, I hope it works out for her, she deserves it.

I like a bit of pap which is what it is, so plan to watch some when I've got the time.

THIS! THIS IS IT!!!! CORRECT!!!!! Walking away and taking your kids away from a bunch of narcissists, adulterers, animal killers, racists and the odd paedo but the hatred is on HER???

I will not put down Queen Elizabeth but they are all essentially a bunch of slum landlords who sit in a palace with people freezing to death from cold and hunger right outside their door. The worst specimen of the lot of them is that Camilla hag. Never done a day's work in her life - but let's go after all Meghan tries to do.

I hate him but I do wish people would stop referring to Charles as the King of England. That isn't his title.

And when you said Charlene that's who I thought you were referring to lol;)😂

You’d have to be brainless to find such inane tv enjoyable. Up your standards!

She will be theatrical in her grief no doubt publicly and speed dial her therapist. She will talk of happy memories and gloss over the rest. Late at night the demons will come, and she might well unravel out of public view as her carefully constructed ‘reality’ comes crashing down.

That will be nothing compared to the day of reckoning when her children demand to know why they have been denied a family on both sides (except Doria) and have no cousins or relatives at all beyond one person.

Maybe because for starters - great Uncle Andy is a sex offender?

Megan knew Andrew long before she met Harry. They where even pictured together on Epstein's yacht.

Really? When she was 12?

Even if she was, it does NOT change who the Royal Family essentially are.

WitchesCauldron · 05/03/2025 14:16

Haven't watched it- not my thing at all.. however I was listening to the 'Rest is entertainment' pod cast and they were talking about the concept of hatewatching.
Some shows are so cringe that people actually hate watch- for example Emily in Paris. Apparently streaming services don't care why you watch, they just want viewing figures.
This programme probably falls into that category.

Probably because she shields her children from the media and doesn't publish pictures of their faces on her social media...

It's a stupid conspiracy theory.

I have 3 kids and have never published a picture of them on my social media.

Wow, so now you’re linking Meghan to Prince Andrew. In your mind, does that make her more or less complicit than the person who paid a substantial sum to Andrew’s accuser to make the sexual abuse case against him go away, and those family members who sit at table with him and break bread pretending to the world that they are a picture of moral virtue, all the while having a history of fraternising with paedophiles and other sex offenders. But that this doesn’t appear to concern you, not while Meghan Markle lives and breathes. It seems that your hate has blinded you to all reasonable perspective.
I think you suggested in an earlier post that you have a young child. If true, I hope he or she is warned of the destructive nature of hate.

And again THIS. It continues to baffle me how so many people have such misplaced hatred towards this woman, given what the Royals have done, are proven to have done, and continue to do. All because they have titles - does that mean they are untouchable? Considering the behaviour of the laughable 'king' over the years and the creature he is married to (who has never had a job in her life despite what you choose to believe), it baffles me. Give someone a crown and a title and all the awfulness just...vanishes....

SerafinasGoose · 05/03/2025 09:33

It's hate.

Sick to the back teeth of seeing the unending reams of pixels publicly excoriating this woman on the www. She does not deserve it. No, she really doesn't. She's not into drowning kittens, she's not a despotic ruler or responsible for invading other countries (unlike the one her president is currently cosying up to). Nothing she's done could ever be proportionate to the pitch and volume of the sickening hatred and bullying levelled at her. Lucy Letby gets an easier public ride than Meghan Markle. Priorities.

(Were this post not on AIBU, I'd not have seen it. The gossip boards on the Windsor family are all it's fit for).

All of this. YES. If I were Meryl Streep I'd be applauding right now.

I'm watching now. I don't really have an opinion on her yet apart from at the very least she'd have to be very strong to withstand the onslaught she's had.

One thing I'm noticing though - Why is everything a 'moment' ?
This make up artist guy she has over, she's wany4f to create a 'bedside table moment', 'a perfect sleep moment' and a 'come back to nature moment'. 😂

That is not true. I saw the picture of a young woman on a yacht who some rumour monger said was Meghan, but it wasn’t. You only had to look to see. The similarity was that both had long dark hair and were slim. Ridiculous:

But even if the young woman on the yacht had a past why would we judge her or any woman for it? Why?

If that young woman or girl wasn’t of age, or she was being trafficked, or both, I’d be judging the older people on the boat that thought it was okay, for sure.

I don’t necessarily think everyone hates her. A lot do and are vocal about it. I think most people don’t really care about her that much. I don’t hate her. I don’t dislike her. I don’t think she behaved well when she got married but I actually sympathise with her because I feel it was a mixture of not understanding the role, her place in the pecking order, and cultural clashes between UK and US. She thought she was going to be doing speeches at the UN when actually her role was to open leisure centres in towns in Wales. I think they rushed their relationship and it all just collided in one big mess. I respect them for making a decision on their own life and I’m glad they are happy. I just feel like she is now trying too hard to be relevant and I don’t feel comfortable watching her promote herself as an expert on any topic because I just think why should I listen to her? If she was going to talk about acting I would think she knows more than me so on that subject I might want to listen.

I’m watching a YouTuber covering the Mindy episode and it is making me laugh out loud but that could be because of her delivery. The flowers on shaped sandwiches are a bit 🤔 my son would say what’s that and swipe them off (assuming these must be for children?). Also filling the sandwich after you’ve cut the shape seems odd, I’d cut the shapes after I’ve made the sandwich but maybe that’s just me. This Sussex name for all the family seems to have come out of nowhere when I definitely remember Archie being called Archie Mountbatten Windsor.

There’s really no need for me to watch (I wouldn’t anyway, I watched none of their output so far) because Youtubers are having a field day.
