Looks like she’s back on Instagram

Just an addition on that FHM BBQ video. Here, she wasn't playing a fictional, sexist role in a TV show as an actress trying to find a foothold. She was marketing Meghan Markle - described as "The Ultimate Guy's Girl". That's how she chose to market herself. And this is in 2013, years after she claimed she felt like a piece of meat on Deal or No Deal, and when she had already found success in Suits. Already a success, so no need to subjugate herself.

That's interesting, HunterdeButts. I'd always assumed it was an advert for burgers or something.

These are hilarious. There are so many witty people around when it comes to roasting H&M that it’s almost worth having them around.

*Men's Health, not FHM.

Its repulsive.

Oh I love those too but mine seem to be Korean, same vibe though. No matter how much I enjoy and aspire to their chilled and calm vibe I'm not getting up at 5am to make an asian banquet breakfast for the kids before they go to school no matter how impressed I am.😬😁

I couldn't watch the pig type one though😭

There are rumours (not substantiated) about MM being demanding and difficult while filming, apparently there were 17 cakes made before MM was happy, (similar rumour to the banana bread she passed off as hers on the Australia tour but which the Governor General’s staff had made and it took several attempts at it before she was sufficiently pleased), and that she was lovely, until things weren’t going her way or didn’t get what she wanted. If this is the case then surely there will be leaks from people behind the scenes. I really struggle to believe that she makes people curtsy to her! Yet didn’t she ask to be addressed as ma’am during an Invictus event, so who knows?!
Someone has posted this….

@MrsFinkelstein your bread looks heavenly 💕 definitely chef’s kiss!

There is a Blind article claiming that The Marchioness of Bath ( Emma) is consulting lawyers due to the similarities between her show and Love, Meghan .
🤷‍♀️

I find this hard to believe - it's all joy not perfection nowadays

I saw that too. Although I usually take those blind items with a pinch of salt….. I wouldn’t blame her there’s a lot of similarities!

Which part do you find hard to believe?

You can find it on Youtube. I am sure Gloria Steinem is very proud of her 🙄

The weird thing is that Victoria sponge isn't a thing in the US. I'm in my 60s and had never heard of it until I watched Mrs. Crocombe make one on the English Heritage Youtube channel. We have sponge cake, but we don't call it that. We just call it yellow layer cake, chocolate layer cake, etc.

Afternoon tea is not a thing here, either. Her show seems aimed at a British audience which to me is counterintuitive--too many Brits despise her to make it a success.

All of it.

It's unsubstantiated rumour that's crawled out of the lower reaches of twitter

But isn't there a US market for "British" things? Afternoon tea and doilies etc. Maybe she's aiming for that?

I agree @LifeExperience.
Although she isn’t well regarded in the US either at the moment from what I’ve read. You only have to look at the brutal comments under the trailer on YouTube. All 18K of them, to see how unpopular she is. I think that Netflix has removed the thumbs down figure too. I couldn’t see this when I looked. Only comments and the thumbs up number were showing. (It might just be me).

Well it was the CEO of The Invictus Winter event who said that H and M wanted to be called sir and M’am so not sure how you can claim that is an unsubstantiated rumour .
The banana bread story has been repeated ( and never denied) several times over the years .

The comment posted was from YouTube.

You don’t believe that she can be demanding and difficult to work for and with? Okaaay!! The Hollywood Reporter article confirmed it for me. And I did post that it was unsubstantiated. Thank you.

Thank you 😊

I think we all have our private intellectual and emotional growth that nobody really sees. That is what our teen years are about.

I know in my own case I was know as fun and sociable, which I was. Underneath that was a crippling self consciousness and constant worry that nobody liked me. Which I masked by being fun and sociable. I grew out of it.

When I meet up with old school friends for the odd reunion we all talk freely about the public (with the school pals) vs private (in our own mind) we felt back then.

Even though she despises the UK.

But she's Californian, and living in California! The whole thing has a very SoCal vibe, so as always, the imagine is confused.

If she'd been shrewd enough to remain on good terms with the royals, she could have still done the occasional appearance at Trooping or Sandringham without compromising her 'freedom', yet maintaining some sort of royal mystique which she could have marketed. As things stand, however, she was only royal for about 5 minutes, and that was years ago. She's royally messed up her lucrative USP.

Yes, I think what she has to sell is her royal connection. She can stand out by being a Duchess, so perhaps that's what she's aiming for, among a plethora of Californian actresses etc.

Speak for yourself, I'm a Brit who loves an afternoon tea and I don't despise her, that's a strange and hate filled stance to take over someone.
I've seen the trailer for her show, it looks like something I'd be interested in, afternoon teas, lifestyle homes etc.
Away from MN and social media, lots of Brits do actually like her. Step away from your bubbles sometimes.
