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 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.

The duchess of York came in for a lot of media abuse for a long time though- the duchess of pork? And I suspect even now (as you point out, 30 years after the divorce!) anything she does will be met with piss taking and cynicism.

IHadaMarvelousTimeRuiningEverything · 05/03/2025 12:49

I don't get why having a negative opinion on her show is bullying her?

I don't have any strong feelings for MM either way but I do believe that the way she was treated by the British media was shocking (and racist) and I completely emphasise with her and Harry's desire to remove themselves from the situation and forge their own path.

That doesn't mean I don't think this show is completely and utterly boring though. It's not to my taste and I'm entitled to my opinion.

I'll still buy her jam as and when it is released by Amazon though to give it a try😋.

moonsunandstars · 05/03/2025 12:51

I enjoyed it. Watched the first episode yesterday.

It's very calming and a nice bit of escapism in this dreadful world.

It's obvious that she's rich as no busy normal mum would have the time to make bath salts and make candles for their guests.

But that doesn't really bother me. I find it interesting and it gives me some inspirations for when I will have more time in the future.

Yes, she did back then, but only newspaper headlines (which was bad enough). There was no relentless social media taking her down.
I just don't understand why she can do what she does now, (as Duchesss of York) and no one takes any notice at all. And yes Sarah was critical of the Institution back when she left. Yet Meghan does a lifestyle show and people crucify her for it.

The way she devastated the last years of the queen and prince Philips lives, yes she does deserve my hate.

You do realise that you're the only one affected by your 'hate'. She's in LA making programmes and a lot of dollars. She's loving life, while you wallow in your hate. Very sad!
And p.s. stop making up stories. Unless the Queen and Prince Philip rose from the dead to specifically give you a message, you have no way of knowing how they felt. The Queen, in fact, spoke warmly in public about Meghan. But people like you choose to ignore that fact for your own purposes. And as you’ve said, that purpose is to HATE. And yet, your comrades on the RF threads object to being called ‘haters’. Hmm!!

ChocolatesAndRainbows · 05/03/2025 13:00

Its sooo cringe.

LipglossAlly · 05/03/2025 13:01

I would also add that what the Meghan Markle haters seem to not understand ( I am not talking about people who may express fair criticism and move on with their lives) is that there are a lot of people like me who support her. We might not be as loud, we might not create daily threads on MM day after day year on year, we might not comment under every article, but we are there - don't let the algorithm/ media eco chamber fool you🙂

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.

Barney16 · 05/03/2025 13:06

Why doesn't she just go back to acting? I'm genuinely interested, is it because she's just too well known?

Exactly. I couldn’t have put it any better. I may even go out and buy some of her jam… and I don’t even like jam 🍯

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).

I agree with you. Your post did make me laugh though. If Putin decided to do a lifestyle show in pastel shades, I would definitely watch it.

Penko25 · 05/03/2025 13:17

It’s really awful. She has so little self awareness. It’s comedy gold though.

Er.... maybe she doesn't want to?
It seems she used to have a lifestyle blog years ago before meeting Harry, then had to give it up so to me it seems like she's able to get back to doing something she really likes doing.

Oh jeez, I'm not wallowing in hate, I just won't watch her twee programme about how to cut up fruit, which my kids could do with blunt knives at age 3. She also had the programme where she ripped into the royal family with lies. Hmm nice person you admire so much

Happyholidays78 · 05/03/2025 13:22

I've not watched it & no plans to as it's just not my thing. I'm astounded as to how much hate she gets, she's a bit 'word salad' for me but seems to be coming from a good place. The thing I strongly disagree with is accepting titles, that for me is just ridiculous & as a couple they loose a bit of credibility by doing this.

Not wallowing in hate, but actually said "she deserves my hate" and are dedicating your time to publish nasty, hate filled little diatribes on the internet about someone you've never met and have only got biased media stories to base it all on.
Yeah, sounds like wallowing in it to me....

Adamante · 05/03/2025 13:23

It's hate.

Hate is the most ridiculously overused word to the point that most aware people avoid using it now.

It isn't even hate. It's irritation, fascination, bafflement, amusement, resentment at her accusations around race, and hypocrisy at claiming to be the most bullied woman in the world, given that there are multiple accusations of her bullying her staff. It's boredom, it's the fact that she uses every opportunity she has, no matter how sensitive or inappropriate, to clap back at any criticism. It is SO apparent that she cares more about refuting her critics than any other issue she claims to care about. She is a hypocritical, conceited, self absorbed woman, likely personality disordered, and many of us have met women like this and know exactly what we are seeing.

I can honestly say if she disappeared from view I'd never go looking for her again, or her mid wit husband. I've no interest in her "bone broth sipping" children either. But as it is, she is pathological in her pursuit of fame, wealth and good opinion, so is in our faces constantly, giving us so much to see, as long as she's doing that then she is asking for comment, so I will criticise her if I wish to.

Penko25 · 05/03/2025 13:25

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.

BustingBaoBun · 05/03/2025 13:29

You may be on your own there with some posters on here who start threads saying 'where is meghan' when she does go quiet.

thbuojhnbvxznb · 05/03/2025 13:32

When MM joined the RF I didn't think any further than 'how lovely, happy for them'. It wasn't until the Oprah interview when she came out with so many bizarre lies that my opinion changed. It was frankly weird, surely she must have known that everything she said could and would be fact checked. Things like claiming to have been married privately before the ceremony? Very odd. She's either very stupid (which I don't believe) or tells lies but seems to convince herself they are true. She reminds me of someone I know with severe MH problems. They also say some very odd things and absolutely believe them to be true. The most hurtful accusations they make are always levelled at those closest to them. Again, another parallel.

I wish her well. I hope she manages to find a path where she and Harry can just be happy together with their family. I wouldn't want her life.

I do enjoy seeing Megan now wearing all those colours she wasn't allowed to wear in the UK cause the RF rules prevented it. Now she has regained the freedom to wear all the colour she wants to & she is really rocking every shade of cream & beige. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I only managed two and a half episodes. I don’t hate her at all but what stood out to me was how little she knew her friends. I felt like she was trying to be someone she isn’t. I can’t really explain it but she wasn’t displaying the real her.

I assume the problem is they want to talk about certain things, but then have to have a sort of fake interview to actually have the conversation. I only saw the first half of episode one, but she was early on talking about how close she was to this old friend and then asking him weirdly basic questions.

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.

That's another lie she told. I carnt believe people still believe this rubbish she spouts.
