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.

Why are your mind and energy not directed at actually supporting the RF? This is what I don't understand.
I am going to have my point of view and you are going to have yours.
No matter how many threads are created here, at the end of the day those who want to support MM and buy into her brand will do it regardless (both in Britain and most importantly abroad).

At this point why not just let it go? Why waste that much energy?This is something that I will never be able to comprehend.

Are you responding to your own comment again?

It’s really not energy. I think you have an image in your head of seething people with pent up rage imploding in their living rooms. They're not. Chances are they're more like me, slouching on the sofa with a cup of tea while my dog is snoring and I’m wondering if I want to watch tv or pick up my knitting.

I’m really quite indifferent to the RF.

I think people are not genuinely able to give an answer. The answers provided are just non based on facts and logic.

To illustrate
1)"they trashed the global reputation of my country saying that we are all inherently racist" - when Henry was asked by Oprah whether he thought the British Public was racist he clearly said that the British public is not racist, the Media is( " straight out of Compton anyone?)

  1. Making the Queen last days unnecessarily stressful - Not sure about that - this is proved by the fact that not only there were invited to the Jubilee, but there were provided with the privilege of them having their own procession( the system really values these sort of things). We also have accounts of Harry, the kids and his grandparents face-timing. I think that the year Charles and Diana divorced would have been a far more stressful year for her( 1992 was defined by her as "Annual Horribilis") not talking about Andrew. These two events had really the potential of bringing down the monarchy.

  2. Meghan irritates me immensely with the smug syrupy " I have the best marriage and kids" - no comment

  3. She is spiteful - examples please.

At the end of the day people are going to think what they want to think. For the life of me, I just can't t comprehend why you would be so invested in a person that you are supposed to dislike so much.

We are not given clear answers based on facts on what caused this intense disdain and most importantly people claim to despise this lady and to love the RF.

However, they are always in this woman's s threads.
They put themselves through a show they don't like " whilst hating every minute of it" just to hate- watch this woman and then come on these platforms and create another thread ( we have 3 or 4 thread on the brand As Ever).

Why not allocate all of this energy to the RF then?
Why not create more threads on their latest engagements, charity endeavours, Royal fashion I don't know.

There are public figures that I dislike. I might comment on them here and there. However, the number of threads created on one lady alone is just out of normality.

Why allocate so much time to people you don't t like?

As soon as they see a modicum of positivity directed at this woman, some posts literally lose their minds. They take it as a personal offence, and this is not normal behaviour ,and more and more people are seeing it and calling it out.

There are celebrities that I do not like, but I realise that not everybody has my point of view on things. If another person likes said celebrities, I don't take as a personal attack.

As I have said, I will not be going back and forth on the RF because I am bored, but ask yourself why am I allocating so much energy and brain space to a person that I dislike. Especially when said person is outside of the Royal Orbit and is doing her thing. Why just not let it go?

They are based on feelings. Are you telling me I am not allowed to feel as I do? This is not a court of law.

For the life of me I can’t understand why you are so invested? Any particular reason you are her biggest ally and supporter? Every criticism, there you are having her back. Why is she so important to you? Why do you care so much?

You know why I care so much? Because I have assisted at the relentless attacks by the press on an innocent woman based on nothing tangible but "feelings", because people "felt like it".

Other posts have highlighted that the level of vitriol directed at this woman is unprecedented.

You like to act like it is only me, but we've seen multiple people highlighting this same point and asking why. And you know what? I am always going to root for the underdog. Always.

Don't bother citing me again because I will not respond. You have hundreds of threads allocated to vilifying this woman. It is only fair to have a thread that is pretty neutral. Where people feel comfortable leaving positive or negative reviews on what is actually the topic of the thread not on their fixation with someone who they supposedly
dislike.

Because I believe (yes from feelings) that Meghan most likely has narcissistic traits and is very self absorbed, therefore I firmly believe she is in the ‘There’s only one thing worse than being talked about and that's not being talked about’ camp (Oscar Wilde).

If you want a neutral thread why are you on one called WLM is Awful?

Laralou999 · 10/03/2025 20:42

she really missed the mark. Who has time to make homemade bath salts for guests? Obviously she doesn’t also have to hoover, make the bed, clean the whole house like the rest of us

Laserwho · 10/03/2025 21:05

outerspacepotato · 08/03/2025 20:40

Her show has just been renewed for Season 2.

Mama Meghan is out there making her own millions now so those who don't like her and don't want to watch her show don't have to support her.

It hasn't. They have already recorded the next lot of programmes at the same time as this series. It hasn't been renewed they are just showing what's. Already been recorded at a later date

Is that what you expected?

No she doesn't, but people certainly don't watch that either. I'd love to have the time and guest room for that, so don't mind me watching.

Just like I don't have Nigella's twinkly Christmas holiday home but will moan about that whilst lying on the sofa eating crisps.

BustingBaoBun · 10/03/2025 21:13

Lots of people have time for crafts. My DCs have allotments, grow veg, one has done pottery, makes all her greeting cards and this Christmas gave everyone candles she had made. Just like the rest of us hoovers, makes the bed and cleans the house too! One of them is into crafts and I really don't think Meghan should be criticised for something homemade if that's her thing!

I totally agree! What is so groundbreaking with cleaning your house, loving to garden, and going that extra- mile in order to being a good host.?We all have a busy life but this the Is not so unusual

Again, I know many people that do have house- cleaners or would hire one on an occasional basis.
It is not that uncommon. You don't have to a billionaire.

outofofficeagain · 10/03/2025 21:31

Exactly. It doesn't seem like a fair criticism of the programme, given most lifestyle programmes are the same.

Pinkandcake · 10/03/2025 21:49

TheMeasure · 10/03/2025 18:46

For me, I don't like either of them for the way they trashed the global reputation of my country, accusing us (and then making some half-arsed retraction) of being inherently racist.
I don't think much of them for publicly disrespecting their families in the way they did and for making the Queen's final months unnecessarily stressful (with Harry all the while trying to make out he and the Queen were close and that he deemed himself responsible for "checking she had the right people around her." The arrogance!)
I hated the way they threw shade at the Royal Family with nearly every sentence they uttered both in the Oprah interview and on the Harry & Meghan documentary. Didn't (couldn't bring myself to) read Spare. "I have huge compassion for Camilla, being the third person in my parents' marriage." Yeah, right.
Meghan irritates me intensely with her smug and syrupy, "I have the best marriage/kids/life in the world."
Nothing whatsoever to do with envy!! I wouldn't swap one tiny part of her life for mine (OK, maybe some of those bracelets).
Yet I was thrilled when they first got together and me and my girlfriends sat watching the wedding wearing hats and drinking fizz. I still remember the shock I felt at her Tom Bradby interview in South Africa and it went downhill from there for me.

Edited

This is exactly how I feel about her (and him) really liked them at the beginning but gradually went down hill over the years.

It's strange people think it's doing so well. Look at the facts. It's already left the top 10. Toxic town, snatch, running point, the other one and Gabby Petito have been in the top 10 longer and still in the top 10.toxic town is still in the number one position, Megs got to 4 for one day only than over the next 2 days has left it. People are tuning in because they are either a TV critic and watching as part of their job or watching it for a laugh but then get bored long before the first episode finished. Face it, it's a complete flop.

skullbabe · 11/03/2025 07:57

You have hundreds of threads allocated to vilifying this woman. It is only fair to have a thread that is pretty neutral.

No, you don’t understand. They can’t let it go. She said her piece in the Oprah interview and the H&M documentary, and since then, she’s said nothing. Yet, everything she does or says—no matter how neutral—is twisted into a dig or a complaint by people who refuse to give her an inch.

There’s no reasoning with them because they need Meghan to fail. They need her to be humiliated, ridiculed, and utterly defeated so they can gloat over their so called victory. And even then, it still wouldn’t be enough for them.

They’ll deny this, of course, and claim it’s not about that. Instead, they’ll insist it’s because she’s a ‘narcissist’ or ‘spiteful’ or ‘evil’—as if that somehow justifies the obsessive hatred. Meanwhile, actual monsters like Kyle Clifford don’t receive half the energy they dedicate to despising her.

They’ll take the side of the press . They’ll attack her friends and accuse anyone who supports her of being a paid bot. And anyone who dares publicly defend her is torn apart in the media.

And as you can see in this thread nothing short of - Meghan is shit and isn’t her show shit and what kind of idiot chops her veges like that and I don’t walk about barefoot in my kitchen like an idiot and isn’t she silly she called pasta noodles and can you believe the wasted salt in the baked branzino - she honestly has no self awareness ad infinitum - will be allowed to stand by this group of people. So just accept it - once the thread reaches a critical mass of negativity hell bent on attacking other posters and being unremittingly miserable, you either exit the thread and leave them to it or just talk over them.

As I have said, whether it stays on the top 10 for a day or for a year, the people that are putting money on this woman's pockets and and investing in her merchandise are satisfied with her numbers and the publicity she brings to their platform.
It is true that the 2 series have been filmed in one go, but Netflix still has to greenlight it. Netflix is still going to invest in her merchandise and the woman is going to make more money regardless.

With regards to people not liking it ,there are literally people trying to replicate her recipes all over Instagram and tik tok, commenting positively on the show and asking what the fuss is all about ( again you may be on the wrong side of the algorithm).

Not talking about other lucrative projects that may be in the pipeline that we currently not know about( she likes to move in silence and come out with a finished products).

No matter what your definition of success is, this woman is not to going to crawl back to the UK broken and broke begging for your acceptance. Never.

skullbabe · 11/03/2025 08:07

What makes you think I want her to come crawling back to the UK 🤣 after the damage she did to the royal family she can stay where she is thanks.

For someone who claims to be keen on Meghan you certainly aren’t up to date with what she’s said in the past four years, are you? Or is this more denying inconvenient truths in the hope people believe your account rather than trust the evidence of their own eyes and ears?

Exactly, there are a handful of people desperately pretending to themselves it is doing well. It's there in black and white that it did not do well.

This is a screenshot of the evolution of the ranking by day from the day it was released. It opened at no. 6 in both the UK and USA, moved up a point or two and then after two days dropped all the way back to the bottom of the ranking. It dropped out of the global top 10, several days ago.

Considering the massive PR push from all the usual outlets, Meghan reopening her Instagram to promote it, it being strategically released in a week / month with very little new content from Netflix, this is a show that did not do well by any measure.

I can't think of any other show getting the kind of promotion this did (other than Harry and Meghan Netflix show) and yet it appears to have totally tanked.

I'm sorry, with love is meghan is awful
