Because she has to look important. Even if she isn't.

The point being made is that, however allergic you are to flour and dairy, eggs are not dairy. Unless as pp said, cows now lay eggs 🤪

So she’s in NY for the launch of the show? Maybe she will be doing some tv work or something? isn’t Gayle in NY and does morning tv?

Agree that she could have done this in California ….theres plenty white blonde valley girls there ….that she seems to be who’s she’s targeting as a customer base.

She just wants to travel and be in the headlines and appear in chat shows.

The show will make it into the Netflix top 10 (because it isn't that hard and it's a slow time) but whether or not that will translate into longevity or product sales ....

As for the meeting with the fans, Meghan has gone from a wannabe philanthropist, healing the world to someone having prosecco nights with college girls. And what is with those poses? She looks like Jesus trying to cure some poor bugger of leprosy. It's only jam and paper napkins.

Im really trying not to watch it, I don’t want her to have the figures.
her expression on that People cover is so strange I think, incredibly blank.

All the Meghan nuts have come out on Twitter going on about how Catherine will be watching as she doesn’t know how to cook or dress, how she copies all her style from her. Very strange people as there’s zero truth in it.

Oh god, the NY late night talks shows. That’s what Harry did….maybe she’s doing the same.

Apart from the fact these girls are too young to have followed the Tig and don't seem like the obvious demographic for a lifestyle show, it's an incredibly white group.

It's hilarious 😂!
Imagine being given the Vice Presidency of The Commonwealth Trust and an opportunity to work with people globally and be on the world stage, but you'd rather cut up fruit and arrange flowers 🙄

Yes, it's all very white, very Trad Wife isn't it?
I'm surprised she's not on a Real Housewives show.
That'll be next.

What time does the show go out? I'm making Tom Kerridge's vegetarian cottage pie tonight and I've got no idea how to elevate it. Some of those silver balls you put on Christmas cakes? Palm tree cocktail sticks? Help!!!!!

That People article! I don't think I've ever seen a less convincing piece of PR flummery since Philip Schofield commandeered an entire 3 hour installment of Good Morning to 'come out' as gay in an effort to dead-cat his way out of predator accusations.

My thoughts, for the little they are worth, are as follows:

1. We are being served yet another version of Meghan: the hustling entrepreneur. Travelling at breakneck speed through A-list actress, globetrotting stateswoman, committed feminist, Royal Princess, bullying victim and earth momma, we've now landed...exactly where we started. A hustling influencer....
2. ...and perhaps reflecting this, her new aesthetic is STILL about 4-5 years out of date, as I've commented before. 'Bone' broth? Very 2018. Home made beeswax candles? Last big in 2020. Artfully arranged berries? I call Belle Gibson c 2014. Meghan. Why???
3. I avoid commenting about the children usually, but since Meghan seems determined to make them side characters in her new brand, I will say that no five-year-old EVER is going to tell their mother not to 'work too hard'. If he does, he's either been fed the line, or he's sadly been witness to countless tantrums in which his mother rants about how hard she has to work.
4. Even in their highly PR'd piece, there are still cracks in the glossy surface. My fellow PR professionals will be able to join me in reading between the lines...

Meghan says the Sussex name ... holds a deeper significance than she could have imagined before motherhood. = Reverse ferret! We didn't really mean it when we said we were rejecting Royal life and the evil racism and colonialism it represents. Turns out that our, now frail and highly tangential, royal connection is the ONLY thing that makes us in any way marketable! Hopefully, if we say nice things, one day William will start returning Harry's calls.

Harry himself makes only a fleeting appearance in the final episode, but his presence was felt behind the scenes.“Whenever Harry visited set, he was always super polite and friendly,” a crew member tells PEOPLE, “but it was clear he wanted this to be Meghan’s moment to shine.” = Harry HATES the influencer world of hustling and self-promotion. He finds it grubby and confusing and wants nothing to do with it. He's fed up of being paraded around as Meghan's fame-life-raft, and is staying well out of it.

For more from Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, including why she’s back in a “honeymoon period” with Harry, = We HAVE to scotch those pesky divorce rumours, let's talk about how loved up we are! It'll be like how a Prime Minister insists blandly that a badly disgraced Cabinet minister still 'has my full support', and then less than 24 hours later they....oh. Wait.

Adds director Michael Steed, who previously worked on the Emmy-winning series Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown: “Everyone has this one version of her, but she’s just someone who is hustling and working and doing. = She's horrible, unprofessional and almost impossible to work with. I HAVE to say something nice about her? OK, put that I said she's a hustler. That's about as 'nice' as I can be without lying through my teeth.

Yes, wise thoughts. I would imagine you'd have to wear a beige pyjama suit and have your hair straightened, with soft waves added. Wear a Cartier watch and necklace. Refer to yourself as "Mama". Put flowers in ice cubes and on the table. Switch on a table lamp.
Job done.
Tom Kerridge never gives this kind of info, does he?

Have you tried drizzling honey on it from on high?

Is beef broth just stock?

I'd sprinkle bits of moss over it and maybe plonk a couple of plastic toy farmyard sheep on it , keep it nice and rustic .

I noticed that. She used black people for optics when she was trying to be the new Mother Theresa but now it's all about the money she's going back to her (true) white middle-class roots. She sees black people as in need of her rescuing them but white people as her consumer base. Ruthless.

You could serve it all up, then collapse on the floor weeping with the stress of it all.

I thought when Archie was born, it was announced he would be known as Master Archie Mountbatten Windsor, not Sussex.

So glad someone said this. It is just Bovril, isn’t it? It’s nice on toast. Perhaps that could be a new Mama Meal idea

Am I doing it right?

Their mouthpiece, Omid Scobie, even announced that they had chosen not to give their children titles.
That didn't last long $$$$$$$

Have we all got our pens and notebooks ready to take notes?

Little Harry never got cutted up pear. Harry asked for cutted up pear, but the insect man said, "No! Go back to your small room! And no sausages for you today either!" Mama Meghan the Kitchen Fairy cutted up little Harry a pear and a an extra sausage and arranged it on a place for him artfully. Then, with the waive of her magic mixing spoon, she turned it into a beautiful, meaty, fruity, glittering rainbow bridge spanning the Atlantic. She held out her hand to little Harry. "Come, young Todger, take my hand and let me lead you to the promised land, full of all my fruity goodness that you can fill that big gaping hole of yours with, " she lilted. "I am Mama Meghan, I am here to right the generational wrongs, your sausage is safe with me. We will create a new Kingdom of the Jammed!"

Yes, Ma'am! curtseys

And isn’t Archie a Mountbatten-Windsor?
