Meghan back on Instagram

Looks like she’s back on Instagram

😂😂😂

We’ve seen her kitchen though.

She has it on her NF docu and her ARO video. I never seen criticism of her kitchen.

What on earth are you talking about??

😂

Good try

That house is stunning! The views are just to die for. Lucky buggers, whoever owns it.

Nigella is a professional cook/chef with years of experience, she's hardly a posh lady playing at it. Meghan on the other hand seems to think she can be a chef, writer, activist, influencer and whatever else she fancies without any qualification or much effort. As someone else said it's no different to the Love Island/reality TV lot.

I could not love this any more than I do

I think if they had left, not made the Oprah thing/Spare (etc) but had gone pretty much straight in to this sort of programme, it would all feel rather different. In fairness, leaving as the pandemic hit (something noone could have foreseen) limited their options but there has been so much damage done now that it feels rather off, all the wholesome joy.

There's nothing in the trailer that is standout from a great many other lifestyle shows or Youtube/instagram channels, it's a swamped market. Of course the whole thing might be different but success is still going to be predicated on how Meghan comes across and if people like her, because that's the nature of this sort of programme.The backstory doesn't help I don't think, beyond generating initial interest and is very much a double edged sword.

It's a hard place to be in because that lifestyle needs funding somehow and nothing else either of them has tried has been a runaway success.

I don’t need to know her personally. I’m not sure what you think I’ve heard in the media and taken as gospel truth.

I have seen the OW interview and read the transcript, several times, including recently (always good to go back to first principles and check your sources for accuracy).

I watched the Netflix documentary in which she ridiculed the traditions of the British monarchy.

I followed the stages of Megxit including their own statement on the Sussex Royal website.

I have seen the coverage of the numerous court cases involving them both, and read the court papers which are in the public domain.

Don’t assume that because you’re late to the game and rely on superficial coverage from dubious sources that the same applies to everyone.

Marchioness of Bath then? Someone has talked about her cooking show on here. She's hugely wealthy

I don't think either of them think they can be 'a chef' . That takes years of training and is not what either Marchioness Emma or Meghan think they are. They have never purported to be.

Thank you for this, @WinterCrow , I replied before seeing your post. You put it better than me.

Meghan is very groomed but it’s all just gloss, there’s nothing behind it. No personality and no warmth. All the giggling and hand clapping in the clip just comes across as “I’m just so adorable, aren’t I”.

I do like a cooking show so will give it a chance but seeing limp fish served on a bed of spinach doesn’t exactly excite me. Victoria sponge is also the most boring cake in my books. If it’s the only thing on offer, I would just have the cup of tea. Red velvet cake on the other hand…,

I also dislike all that long hair hanging over the food.

I don't see any forum rules saying you need to make some sort of statement about someone so you aren't seen as suspicious.

There is no perfect person although lots of peolle strive to be. Everyone has their own flaws. I don't feel I need to go round pointing out people's flaws, whether its in real life or on a forum unless the person is directly asking me a question or for advice.

By saying you find people suspicious for not admitting someon has flaws or saying anything to thay effect.. what is this school? If you don't do it you don't fit in and you'll be labelled a superfan.

Not only have we all over consumed cooking shows the last 25 years, but the world is changing.

Many get their recipes from SM and new formats like the Waitrose podcast are getting people interested.

This over stylised format seems old fashioned. Particularly because it’s not in her own home, so it’s literally staged. Will always feel fake.

Everything today is supposed to be about authenticity…but when you hear at the end of the video that with the dog snoring, ‘it’s going to be a peaceful day’ …you just think too right it will, you don’t have two kids running about at home because your filming in someone else’s family home!

I'm not a Meghan fan, but that is scraping the barrel of reasons to criticise her. Many headlines were racist and many people, particularly DM readers, are racist.

She left the country and mostly cut ties with the family, but to criticise her for preparing an afternoon tea is bonkers. Presumably that is just one "dish" in the programme, along with other food?

We get many of our recipes from TikTok. Would recommend; short and sweet and very tasty.

I think this is a real problem- attention span has changed. I used to love reading cookery books but now I've charity shopped them all as I no longer have the desire to look through - much quicker to go to the internet.

Same issue she had with her podcast.

Over produced. over stylised, complete sanitised, with a huge team behind it to get it moving.

Joe Rogan (and I’m sure there will be lots of thoughts on him!, this is no endorsement) is partly so successful because he has very few staff, just speaks as he sees it etc. It’s not over produced. That’s what people want in a podcast …the feeling we don’t know where the conversation will take us.

We always knew the outcome of every conversation with Meghan. Who incidentally put on a whispery voice and didn’t have the vocal fry! Again changing who she is for the sound she wants for the podcast.

It’s the same with the tv show, over produced.

I know she has a lot resting on it and I get why that’s been the approach, but it was a disaster for her podcast. She needed to strip it down and not make something so grand. People won’t connect with her.

Many British headlines were racist? Many?

list them

Millions read the DM online. So that makes millions of Britons racists then? Right

Criticism for eating avocados
Wearing one shouldered dress
Cradling her bump
Wearing nail varnish

All of these were things that Kate did (not sure if she eats avocados tbf) but only the non white woman was criticised for it.

Population of 68m so, yeah, I would say so.

Well, she runs about laughing or hiccuping, I'm not sure which, past multiple 2025s in the sand.
I like white jeans and white shirt though.

All it says to me is that Meghan went to the beach. I don't think it evokes anything else.

Where are the racist headlines?

Then why on earth would meghan adopt a custom of a racist country?

By having an afternoon tea??

I love Middle Eastern food, doesn't mean I'm going to go and live in Saudi or Iran.

I'm agnostic about Meghan, unlikely to watch the show as it looks overly stylised and, despite being British, I think afternoon tea is boring as fuck. But really odd to criticise her for that.
