Carry on! Reviews from the US are trickling in, so far, not so good - https://variety.com/2025/tv/reviews/with-love-meghan-markle-netflix-duchess-of-sussex-1236327469/

"Basic Bitch Box Recipes" would be a more catchy name for what she's flogging than "As Ever". And more accurate.

I can really relate to this. The memories of Eau de kebab as I staggered down sauchiehall street after a glittering evening at the student union. The taste of the greasy donner, the softness of the pita bread and the smell of the chilli sauce dripping down my chin

EverytimeI see a Carlsberg special soaked drunk lying in the street I think so fondly of those halcyon days

My kids made shortbread one Christmas for their grandparents. I remember the recipe being very simple. I appreciate box mixes are super common in the States, but this seems like madness.

She said Scottish shortbread is to do with England??? That's her biggest sin yet 😂😂😂

And it's just shortbread not shortbread bloody cookies

"My beloved fruit spreads honed over years of recipe testing"

Ah so my Jam is not my Jam. But I thought everyone knows that My Jam is My Jam

But actually my Jam is my Spread, or is My Spread my Jam, or maybe my Spread is my Spread.

let's hope so 😁

@Stickystickysticky Mad as a box of Frogs. I actually thought that was a spoof.

Also if you make fruit spreads - yes it will , sweet scent wafting blah blah breathing eyes closed blah blah welcome home blah wot she said - whilst you are making it Not just by opening a jar. I feat consumers may not get the full jammy fug of MM's house they may have been expecting from that blurb.

It must be very satisfying for all the people she has bullied on both sides of the Atlantic to see her annihilated on the world wide stage, Karma’s a bitch isn’t it.

If the smell of jam wafts through your house when you open the jar, I would advise not to eat it as you' ve probably mistaken it for a candle.

I know I'm being mean; she mildly annoyed me before this show, but after watching just 1 and a half episodes, I can't stand her. Partly the stupid quips and jokes with the ridiculous laughing, partly the snide, passive-aggressive remarks, partly the Californian vocal fry accent, partly because the show is so cloying and cheesy, unbelievably cheesy. The music hurts my ears. It's all so fake!
The comment about how much junk food she grew up eating- mask slipped there Meg! Doria wasn't so perfect.

Edited as I'm watching and finding more annoyances.

It's like the Jerry Springer show - part of the reason people watch it is for the ridiculous entertainment provided. Me I would rather have the man who married his horse and the kung fu hillbilly.

@AtIusvue get yourself to bed and have a good night moment. I fear you may be becoming unwell (truth: you’re on fire!). But you’ve been on fire so long I think you’re gg to smoke them bees out.

i badly need a cringe emoji, a green nauseated emoji and a shocked face emoji on here.

I loved running point. Give it ago.

I think that Netflix were happy for this to be a pile of shite do they can easily part ways.

Beginning to look increasingly likely.

There's more 🤮🤮🤮

When I think of the things I look forward to most, I usually find them in the unexpected, in the thoughtful gesture, in the small details that show care. The single dahlia hand-plucked from your garden and shared with a friend instead of the grandeur of a large bouquet. The lost art of a handwritten note, written with care to simply say 'thinking of you' and placed in an actual mailbox (with an actual stamp) and sent with love. The simplicity of a grilled cheese sandwich cut into small triangles and dunked into tomato soup with your kids. Or one of my favorites-making breakfast for dinner. Those small yet meaningful moments of connection are where we can all find
the magic in the everyday. Showing up for someone can make them feel a little more loved, and definitely more seen - and As ever is a reminder that those gestures do not have to be grand. In fact, it's often the
small moments that can have the largest impact. They say 'it's the thought that counts, but I would go a step
further-it's the thought that counts the most.

This is the only thing I could run with , so much easier to chuck a bowl of shreddies in front of the kids rather than cooking a nutritious dinner.

Or one of my favorites-making breakfast for dinner.

Sure, but my point is that this only applies in Britain, the country she ran out of.

In America she must legally be either Markle or Mountbatten Windsor? Her Sussex 'surname' has no legal standing outside of Britain.

What a terrible idea! Although I read to my DD every day I was there at bedtime (almost all of them) part of the fun of having a babysitter was to choose a story to read with the babysitter (one 9f a very small number of people she knew well and only once she was about three). I would have thought it would be distressing for a child to see their mother on a screen, reminding them of her absence. It really is all about Meghan!

Oh god how mortifying. She is flogging jammy todgers 😂

I finally have time to settle down and watch episode 1 🍿

Brilliant @glitterturd

Is Harry not big enough to be Daddy when she is away? Too much of a plonker? Can't be trusted ?

I walked through an old churchyard today and there was a squirrel eating the snowdrop petals. Meghan has made it big in Tufty land!
