Why am I not surprised 🙄 wonder what the “leave Meghan alone” brigade think of Meghan thanking those that have bullied and attacked Catherine so much while she was battling cancer and probably still continue to do so. There can be no doubt that she knows about it and is grateful to them for it. Disgraceful.

@MrsLeonFarrell Hope all is ok 💐

Thank you to everyone who has been on the frontline this morning, fearlessly reporting back...

I feel elevated by association 😂

If you were anywhere near me, I’d be furnishing you with home made Popcorn (just discovered that they can be made in a microwave… would I permit a microwave in my aspirational kitchen), freshly arranged fruit and a bunch of salami. Please produce a booklet with the top Essential hacks for nannied feminist housewives.

You’re more of an expert than they are.

Ouch

Be an excellent ready-made nest.

(Sorry if someone's already said this - just catching up)

Meg has a friend round for breakfast

Meg tip:

With guests, put condiments into little sauce dishes. Instead of serving them in the jar/bottle.

She’s also telling a ‘strawberry story’- she’s put store bought croissants in a basket, put a couple fresh strawberries at the side ….and her expertly decanted strawberry jam into a little dish on the other. See….a ‘strawberry story’

Although I know serving jam with croissants is a bit controversial! Meg, you rebel.

Ep 7 still rolling with the endless compliments for Meg.

‘you’re always the hostess with the mostess’

My friends would have me sectioned if I decanted the ketchup into little bowls .

This is actually worse than Pippa’s party book. I wish wish wish The Windsors would do a new season just to take the piss out of this.

Or spread it on the table & let people do a hungry hippo approach?

"torn between wildly ineffective social justice activism, and the narcotising retreat of the peonied table"

Marina Hyde is on point here. Influencers actually change nothing, they achieve nothing except possibly sales of products created by others. For all their grandiose statements about service being universal the only people Harry and Meghan serve are themselves.

Defibrillator an idea from someone who doesn't have to do the washing up!

There surely won't be a second series, I can't for the life of me think of any other drivel they could possibly come up with.

Meg is talking to her friend about being working moms and you can only do so much.

But the whole show is designed to add needless steps and a huge amount of stress and work onto women. What is Meg talking about!

why on earth hasn't she come up with some useful time saving hacks for us busy mums?
The only thing she probably knows about saving time, is get the nanny to do it.

More gushing for Meg from Vicky

‘I love how you’re young and hip’

I don’t know why, but this post has made me cry actual tears ( from left eye I believe). Of laughter 😂😂

What is going on with that website?
I can't see how you get from the home page to the product selling pages.
And why is test mode still on on the day the show is released?
Are they doing things themselves rather than hiring people becuase it's atrocious

watched it today - for 5 minutes - than had to turn off -so out of touch !! and the constant grin - naah.

Atrocious is the word for sure.

Ahh I'm 1 episode in and I really love this. Yes a bit frivolous but don't we all do shit that seems frivolous to others.? It's colourful, joyful and got a feel good vibe. Watch it and turn off the brain to all outside nonsense for abit.

So contraction here :

In Ep 2 with Mindy, Mindy asked if she learned to cook during her childhood. Meg said no: she was a latch key kid, lots of microwave meals, take out etc

Ep7- Shes talking about when she was growing up, Doria was a travel agent. That she travelled with her mum and so she tried so many different flavours, her mum would make Gumbo and soul food…..

So which is it Meg?

I thought her mother was an airline hostess? Or running a shop that went bankrupt. We’ve heard it all now.
