WITH LOVE MEGHAN…

Ariadneslostthread · 05/03/2025 16:02

Who has been watching this?. I must admit I watched it out of interest rather than anything else. It was pleasant, it was like sinking into a Jacuzzi of warm water, bubbly, luxurious. But for me that’s where it ended. Watching Meghan tie up small bags of home-made bath salts for her friends visit, and then accompany them with shop bought pretzels, which she decanted into another plastic bag was….. enough. Oh yes, and the children’s gift bags….. with small sets of gardening tools, the cheapest of which I could find online was about £10, so well out of the way for any of us budget mums/aunts/grans. What do you think? Do you think she’ll have another series?…. Do you think “With love Meghan will fly” ? I’m just not sure what the point of it is ?. Everything she’s doing, others have done and better before. She’s a hugely wealthy woman, with not enough to do, showing us how she entertains her friends, amuses her children…… or is there more? Am I being unreasonable. If I am and you get the point of this syrupy, and I think frankly vacuous television , please explain it to me, I would value that explanation…….

Well it's currently in the top 10 in multiple countries, so I expect Netflix are happy with that. 🤷‍♀️

No33 · 05/03/2025 16:05

And here we have another thread about this show

TheKeatingFive · 05/03/2025 16:06

There are loads of these sorts of lifestyle shows, but if you don't like them you're under no obligation to watch.

Sounds like insipid nonsense to me just like the Kardashians and their shite

rosalynd34 · 05/03/2025 16:08

If you use the search function, there are at least 2 threads about this already which might save another duplicate thread

BatchCookBabe · 05/03/2025 16:09

It was SHITE! 😆 I just cannot see the point of Meghan and Harry. I wish they would go away and live on a desert island .

Snorlaxo · 05/03/2025 16:10

I am no Meghan fan but she wasn’t going to go The Works and buy a multipack of books for party bags was she?

I assume it’s escapist stuff- viewers in the UK are supposed to watch and fantasise about Californian sunshine and a fabulous lifestyle. (I’ve not watched it and don’t plan to) People watch stuff like River Cottage and Nigella even though they can’t afford fancy organic food never mind grow it in their allotment or buy it from a fancy deli.

Samcro · 05/03/2025 16:11

they are onto about thread 6 in the meghanbashtopic.

Ariadneslostthread · 05/03/2025 16:16

Yes, I appreciate it’s probably a duplicate post. Sadly, I’m stuck in a hospital ward with cancer, with questionable WIFI reception, so actually when I tried to search, I couldn’t get anything that came up about Love Meghan. If it’s duplicate post, you can just unfollow it or just not read it can’t you ?. or ignore it ?. That’s what I normally do when I see something that is a duplicate Post…. I just ignore it. I don’t spend my time posting to moan about the fact it’s a duplicate post…. Anyway, my apologies for posting a duplicate post my apologies for having shit reception where I am. Readers, do me a favour, instead of leaving harsh , bite-y little remarks, think about what might have lead somebody to have posted something that’s a duplicate……. Because there were lots of reasons that might happen, it isn’t simply that they are too thick to search for a post on that topic in the first place.

Don't worry @Ariadneslostthread it happens sometimes! Hope you're doing OK. Flowers

ItsCalledAConversation · 05/03/2025 16:25

I watched the trailer and could not believe the vacuous, soul crushing smallness of it all. She’s princess Diana’s daughter in law FFS, she could/should be using her tremendous platform for good, not this narcissistic playschool rubbish. What a waste of every for all concerned. She didn’t even get good guests.

OP really sorry to hear about your cancer, that’s shit. Particularly to be stuck on a ward with no WiFi and bitey people posting on your thread. Happy to indulge some light Megan-bashing here.

Rumplestiltz · 05/03/2025 16:26

Wishing you all the best OP, and it's the first thread I have read on it so Thankyou.

Hillarious · 05/03/2025 16:27

I watched one episode to make sure, and I can confirm it's simply a weak pile of nonsense, and we're better than this.

Hopefully the links help so you can join in the discussions while in hospital. Wish you all the best with your treatment.

Oh OP you'd better get this deleted, there are a few threads already and some people's patience is wearing thin!

tropicalroses · 05/03/2025 16:28

The little sanctimonious lecture she gave her "friend" about her name being Sussex now is painful. I can't believe anyone let that make the final cut. It's painful to watch

CalicoPusscat · 05/03/2025 16:36

Best @Ariadneslostthread it's not much fun being in hospital. Hope treatment goes well 🌺

Delphiniumandlupins · 05/03/2025 16:52

Sorry you're in hospital. Starting a thread about a TV programme you chose to watch, about someone you don't really like, seems unlikely to make you feel better. People who like Meghan will tell you they enjoyed the programme, those who don't won't. None of us actually know her or her life or motivations. Hope you can, even with the poor WiFi, find a better distraction.

Tomatotater · 05/03/2025 17:01

I can't think of anything I would rather do less than watch this, but I woukd guess it's basically some vacuous old nonsense for people to see how the other half live ( likevthe Kardashians or Real Housewives) and maybe mock, but if it's in the top 10 ratings in 10 countries, you can bet at least half of that is people ' hate watching' including people on the 6 threads in the MN Royal section! Netflix will be delighted. They don't care if people are watching in order to pick apart her every utterance as long as theyvare watching. That's why they don't disappear onto a desert island, because the people who apparently can't stand her are obsessed with her!

ItsCalledAConversation · 05/03/2025 17:07

Putting this on the same level of the Kardashians reveals you’ve never watched either properly.

A) why are you SHOUTING in your thread title?
B) there's already a thread on this in aibu. Why not move this to the RF thread where you may get more traction?

Penko25 · 05/03/2025 17:55

Vacuous is exactly the word. Completely brainless tv. It’s deservedly getting universally panned.

NotaRealHousewife · 05/03/2025 17:55

At least now you have a few threads to join. I hope you feel better soon
