Will update with anymore reviews

This is clearly Meghan’s big thing. IMO, effectively, she’s been building to this all her life

I don't think she has though.

She's missed a good 5 years when she could have been building towards this. She could have used the Covid hiatus to get a social media persona set up, posted cooking videos, little 'sneak peaks' into her life and so on. Instead, she's used the time to indulge in bitterness towards her in laws and bizarre pseudo royal tours. So it's pretty hard to taker this 'positive vibes only' SoCal girl persona seriously.

She clearly thought she was way too good for this sort of thing now that she's a Duchess, and is just going back to it as a last resort. Right back to where she was 10 years ago, but the world has moved on.

She should study some old Fanny Craddock shows. Meghan in ballgown devilling eggs and issuing imperious orders to Harry as Johnny C style kitchen help could be genuinely hilarious.

Would need a sense of irony though, which might be a problem.

The whole trad wife cosplay thing is absurd and out of touch. Tragic.

I disagree that this programme is her dream that she's been building towards. Five years ago she thought she was going to be one of the most influential, powerful and globally-adored women on the planet. She has had to lower her sights a great deal since then. It must enrage her that she couldn't pull in any Hollywood guests, or just anyone reasonably well-known. No one wants to be associated with them.

I would have thought her idiot husband would have corrected her about the 'jelly', but maybe it was too common of a pudding for him to be aware of.

Serena ? Oprah ? Gayle ? Tyler ?

I think when ARO is up and running when will merch everything shown in in the episodes including flowery tea pot and that pink tray thing, which already looks a bit dated, though maybe not in the US?
The good thing is I am now aware of Emma's Kitchen.

She has form for lying and seems a lot like Jonny Depps crazy ex. Won't both watching this

What like shitting in his bed, painting bruises on her face to fake him hitting her, screaming abuse at him, cheating and so on so he was awarded 15mil in damages.

Has Meghan done anything as hideous?

Shame on you.

I agree. I think this was her big dream in her Tig days but once she was a duchess, there’s no way she was going back.

I mean could you imagine Princess Di doing a lifestyle show and Leo sayer popping round for a chinwag and some jam and ice cream?

She clearly modelled her idea of a duchess on Lady Di, but she’s had such bad press about her character, the NF shows failing and their ideas rejected by them, that I feel she thought this was suddenly a good idea. She wouldn’t have done it in 2020 when she first signed onto the NF deal. But neither of them have any dignity left and this is where we are

If you’re going to have a dollop of jam on a pudding, then it really needs to be school semolina
(also sticks wallpaper)

Fergie has flogged various things on a US shopping channel, so you could argue that it can be Duchess-like to be entrepreneurial.

"her and Harry buy a country pile and attempt to renovate it themselves, hilarity ensues". They should pitch that next.

I think very early on they could have pitched 'Lifestyles of Stately Homeowners'. Done well it could have been interesting, with H & M bringing different perspectives. But no UK stately homeowner was going open his/her doors to them once the Oprah interview had aired.

Not interested in any more of her bullshit after watching her lie about having no knowledge of the curtsy as shown in this YouTube video:

m.youtube.com/watch?v=WjIB23Unrnk

Some ofthe accusations she made against individual members of the BRF.

And her other lies are not victimless or without consequences.

(Cue ingenious "what lies?".)
Typo edit.

I simply won't be able to watch it due to the vocal fry alone.

And her other lies are not victimless or without consequences.

The way she has behaved towards her own father, not to mention the trail of dumped friends she leaves behind when they are of no further use to her.

So you believe the royal family haven't told a single porky about the pair of them!

They meet regularly, almost daily to brief the press. Camilla's lunches with Piers Morgan and his ilk.

I despair! You continue hating, I'm sure it makes you feel happy so good for you. Very nice, cool in fact.

So you believe the royal family haven't told a single porky about the pair of them!

Go on, then. What porkies have the RF told about them?

Can you give some examples ?
Only thing I have ever heard is that Mike referred to Harry as a bellend . And that’s true !

TMZ poll. TMZ is a celebrity news site.

They had a poll of questions. Interestingly the voters aren’t a Trump/right wing group but they all have the same opinion about Megs new show. 81% (35k votes) say ‘Ugh, read the room’

It is really not normal to start thread after thread about someone you have never met and just dislikes even though you dont know them and they have not done anything to you personally.
It is such a bizarre juvenile thing to do. I wonder why many British people are like this. They bond and tag team over gossip and a dislike of someone they don't know and who has caused them no harm at all? I don't know anyone in real life who is like this. I just genuinely don't get it.

I wonder if there will be tv previews before it comes out. Usually big tv shows that are expected to do well, part of the PR is to allow critics opinions a few days before.

If it goes the way of POLO, where that didn’t happen. I’m guessing we will all know what Netflix thinks of it .

You don't know her! Or her father! So weird

Is someone making jam really that offensive? Or is it that she is trying to earn a living?

The faux naif 'I'm just genuinely trying to understand' from the self appointed thread police is incredibly boring now.
