As ever season two: fluffy eggs (with sparkling water) on faces!

[TallerSally]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Despite the ‘almighty’ British media, the rightwing US media and the internet brigade attempting to outdo each other with their crushing, supposedly annihilating reviews of Meghan’s As ever show, not only has it spent the past days in Netflix’s top 10 in more than 40 countries (including being Nr 5 in the Meg-lovin’ UK), Netflix have renewed the show for a 2nd season!

And of course, Netflix are also actively supporting the launch and commercialisation of Meghan’s As ever product range.

So, some folks have plenty of (hopefully fluffy - add sparkling water!) egg on their faces right now, and none of them are Meghan. She’s delivered the perfect put-down to her detractors with her “Lettuce romaine calm” pun, playfully announcing her Season 2 on her Instagram…. and adding a bum wiggle which to me said “we’ve obviously known for months that there’ll be a season 2, but y’all didn’t, so we’ve let you play with your silly headlines and review-bombing about this being ‘the end of the road’ and we ‘should kiss goodbye to Netflix’ BS, before making you all look like the obsessive fools you are by announcing season 2. Back-off and just chill, folks!”

Too funny! So far in this little PR war, it’s Meghan 2, detractors 0. Basically, the general public don’t GAF about the screeching online: if the show’s a good watch they’ll watch it, and they evidently are… kinda like… a certain biography, that other Sussex review-bombed ‘abject failure’ that still went on to become a Nr1 bestseller in the UK and US…

So, where did the gormless twopenny British journalists and their equally misguided US counterparts go wrong (again)? They were so eager to wield the knife into Meghan (a soooo much easier and risk-free target than Elon Musk, Donald Trump or even Andrew Tate, whom they’re evidently too chicken sh*t to go after with a tenth of the vitriol they enjoy hurling at Meghan), that they forgot to read the not so small print.

That small print includes the words “Netflix” and “Sony Pictures Television”, producers of As ever.

Now, who wields more power and influence over US viewers and consumers, Marina Hyde and her fellow sour-grapes, or Netflix and Sony Pictures combined (not to mention People magazine, Drew Barrymore, etc)?

Hmm… tough one.

So next time spineless journos want to pile-in on a mixed heritage woman for the heinous crime of launching a feel-good lifestyle business, maybe they could read the small print about who’s backing her and turn their Trump and Musk a*s-licking tongues in their mouths a few times before spouting off, lest they end up being the ones looking utterly ridiculous?

If you feel the British and right wing media have been spineless in their continued attacks on Meghan Sussex, discuss!

Meanwhile I need to find me one of ‘em ‘Lettuce romaine calm” baseball caps. Etsy sellers, get to work!

Ballon arches? Cellophane bags? Does it matter? They are, all them, big consumers of fossil fuels.

I know it’s not a train station but I don’t want any ‘I’m still waiting’ posts aimed at me - I’m off to re watch an episode of Handmaid’s Tale . Followed by an episode of something light.

It's like a covfefe, but a dupe.

It’s a slang word I saw on the net the other day and liked.

Duchy originals and Highgrove produce food. Packaged in a pretty normal way for food. Not a balloon in sight. Just jam in jars and biscuits in packets. Like McVities. And Bonne Maman. Nice biscuits, nice jam, no balloons.

'Still, the cynicism of it all is pretty shocking, given that this is about a real human being, a mother with children being used as a cash-cow by all and sundry.'

Says a poster who was very active on the crass 'Where's Kate' threads 12 months ago. About a real human being, a mother with children......

I am not going to argue about balloons.

Or maybe I am

Balloons Balloons Balloons

Second season? Yeah well Mr Trumpy is in for a second term.He also gets universally slated but people also watch and listen to everything he says.
Do you see Op that being a media success does not actually equate to being a postive force in reality?

Of course her show isn’t the same gravitas as her countryman’s announcements. But there’s plenty in common.

Lol at those having a pop at them for not being environmentally friendly or their carbon footprint whilst they themselves aren't either and aren't carbon footprint zero themselves.

a woman who is....... a slightly upmarket female Del Boy albeit without his humanity and wit.

“This time next year 'arry we'll be Billionaires!”

Love this, OP! Thank you. Very boring to see so much woman bashing on here. I love all hard working, TAX PAYING people willing to just give it a go!! I enjoyed the calm, feel-good show. Well done Meghan.

But neither of those pictures are of balloons Charles and Charlotte 😁 have bought to showcase their profound elevation of packet mix cakes - they are at an event where there just happens to be balloons.

I think the fact the poster was highly critical of POW when she was ill does make her post hypocritical and can’t be taken seriously.

Absolutely. Charlotte was taken to an event where there was a balloon arch, not their doing.
How desperate.

Who on earth, on International Women's Day, posts pictures of themselves at a beach having fun? Seriously. Does she not understand?
Has she any idea?

Oh my god - does she think it's the same as Mother's Day? Someone really needs to explain to her what it's about. Clue: not her.

I was about to post to this effect. IWD - another excuse for Meghan to post pictures of herself celebrating the wonder that is her. 🙄

It's extraordinary. She's the most important woman on IWD? She can't reference or pay tribute to the many women who have genuinely worked hard for change?
So self obsessed.

But I know what Mylovelygreendress means!

OP - please read back your post. It is just bizarre to react in this OTT way to a banal and unoriginal and fake lifestyle show presented by anyone really. I mean - I like Nigel Slater and Hugh F-W and the vibe they create but it wouldn't put my blood pressure up in the way it seems to have done with yours. Calm down, dear, as the advert used to say!

To you and all superfans of Meghan, I would say - just what is is about this shallow, narcissistic, manipulative, greedy, spiteful, materialistic, fake and unpleasant woman (not to mention bullying...)which makes you so over-excited? No - please don't bother to answer!! But perhaps reflect?

What? You mean that some things are not about Meghan?

OMG. Who's going to break the news to her?

😂

Poor toddler Charlotte can never get a break from MM fans. She's equally culpable for looking at a balloon!

The one with Harry looks like he's performing the Heimlich manoevre on her. Maybe she choked on a dried flower?

I know. Who uses a small child like this to have a pop at the parents?

I pity the person who actually tries.....
