In fact there is nothing on the home page except to subscribe or follow on insta

The Times review is in with a generous 2 stars

With Love, Meghan review — smug, syrupy and endlessly spoofable

This is hilarious, where's it from?

I was curious, so ive dipped in an out of a couple of episodes this morning.

1. i can't work out who the show is aimed at. If its intended to give people a glimpse of her life and style then it kind of falls down by being filmed somewhere she doesn't live - look at my beautiful garden that is not my actual garden. Here i am making bath salts to put in guest bedroom, I shall take them home later today so they can go to actual guest bedroom.

2. what is going on with sprinkling edible flowers on everything? It shows her making avocado toast (close up of her slicing some bread. Zoom in on her smushing avocado. Fry an egg. Then artfully arrange flowers on this not very groundbreaking avocado toast recipe)

3. popcorn can be made in a microwave
   (massively sad she didn't use the Nigella pronunciation of micro wah veh)

4. im hosting games night for the girls. Ive decided not to get it catered and instead i shall cook myself. Step 1 in this process is to hire in a private chef?

Im baffled. I don't love her or hate her, but I can't see many people spending hours making their own candles for guests or inflating balloon arches or decorating all food with dried flowers.

Apparently she actually told the chef Choi , that she adds sparkling water to scrambled eggs to make it fluffy!!!
( no I didn't watch )

Is a sight! Poor man trying to contain his laugher!!

A strawberry story?? I just cannot find words.

@AtIusvue your work this morning has been tremendous.
Such dedication and you've made me laugh out loud!@

You could find the products by following the link someone gave above, but they seem to have gone now. Herbal teas, jams, pancake mix, biscuits and flower sprinkles.

@AtIusvue are you still ok? You are doing sterling work. How long is each episode?

So there are actually products??!!!

We thought there wouldn't be.

The reviews are hilarious 😂

No, much like Meg, Ive wasted my life on these episodes!

There’s one to go! Thank fuck

Yes they've all disappeared 🤔

Ep 8- Celebration Lunch

So one of the first shots we see are the French crepes! With the jam! So that’s $50 worth of As ever merch right there.

We also have charcuterie boards galore!

Everything. Fucking everything. Has a carpet of edible flower sprinkles on top….i’m starting to think she’s drugging them.

Nearly there @AtIusvue , nearly there.

Alice waters is coming for brunch.

Meghan is gifting her a book and necklace and obviously Megs used to teach a gift wrapping class! so she’s going to teach us!
There really is no end (start?) to her talents.

You're doing great @AtIusvue !!
Almost done now!

Meghan gift wrapping

I’m casually reading my (American) book and noticed the mentioning the sale of bone broth…maybe truffle butters will be next 🤣 It’s nothing new or noteworthy Meghan, it’s really basic!

Just read the Telegraph review. Tried to archive it but it won’t work for some reason

The first paragraph made me chuckle

“I feel like you’re watching me falling in love,” Meghan Markle says dreamily. Is she gazing into the eyes of her husband (more of him later) or her two adorable children? No. She is eating a raw turnip.

😂

eta just noticed someone else linked it above 😆

🤣

Its from this article in the DM, which is a mash-up of all the bad reviews the Meghan show has received today in other publications. Some of hilariously vicious: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14459407/meghan-markle-netflix-damning-reviews-critics.html

I’ve noticed Meg seems to struggle with eye contact.

She looks away a lot (especially when others talk), blinks rapidly, moves away too much or gives intense eye contact.

And Imelda Marcos, a woman, anticipating the usual drivel and you didn't disappoint! Congratulations!
