It's not good news for Meghan. The podcast by Meghan is out of the Spotify 100 in the US and the UK. With Apple it's not even in the top 200 chart.

Imagine taking a so called private letter and reading it out on a podcast who does that? A deeply insecure person that’s who, desperately trying to prove to the world how practically perfect she is every way, it must be exhausting being her.

Especially as the podcast is, supposedly, about female entrepreneurship.

It's really just a vehicle for Meghan to talk about how amazing she is and how everyone loves her. No wonder it has flopped.

foreverblowingbubbless · 28/04/2025 18:18

When does she have time to positive parent?

God she is just so needy isn't she? They are all there to fill that hole she has.

The mother-of-two became emotional as she read out a letter from her children which read: 'From Archie and Lili via Papa. We love your cooking. We love your pancakes and we love, love, love your hugs. You're
the best mummy and we love you.' Speaking out the note, Meghan said: 'So sweet. I also love that it's mummy, instead of mommy, which is very British.' She then started crying and added: 'I wasn't expecting this, they're just so great.

😂😂😂😂😅😂😂😂😆
Momma Megs is to be admired and the children are learning their role. Dysfunctional as hell.

This is why it's so nice to have no make up on, thank you.
OMG she is so affected. I have a mum friend and SIL just like that. They are full of themselves and bragging bragging bragging while thinking they're sophisticated and special and have the urge to comment on their own wonderfulness. How incredibly embarrassing.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 28/04/2025 18:25

Just two words: utter inadequacy

BigWillyLittleTodger · 28/04/2025 18:29

So she come prepared, wearing no eye make up as she planned to cry, she knew the Alice Cooper look wouldn’t be good on the ‘gram 🙄

MrsLeonFarrell · 28/04/2025 18:29

It sounds like the sort of sweet Mother's Day letter Dad's help children write. Nothing wrong with it. But I don't think making it public helps anyone.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 28/04/2025 18:35

It’s all very dysfunctional. The kids have to have reminders of how much she loved them and how much she did them for them whilst they were children, rather than letting them form their own loving memories. It seems a bit controlling and domineering if I’m being honest. It’s a sign of a narcissist. It smacks of ‘I did this for you, therefore you owe me!’

It reminds me a bit of how Jeannette McCurdy wrote about her mum in ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died’. She was manipulative, emotionally abusive and a complete narcissist.

Profhilodisaster · 28/04/2025 18:41

I'm just trying to think how the men in my life, brother in law , cousins, friends, would react if their partner behaved like this and to a man , they would all tell her to pack it in.

HonoriaBulstrode · 28/04/2025 18:42

I do feel that the RF are accountable for a lot of this mess. Harry should have never been given the green light for an engagement in such a short space of time; Meghan should have been very well educated into the protocol of the RF and a wedding should have been after 3 or 4 years of getting to know each other

But given Meghan's age, they didn't have three or four years. She'd have been pushing forty, and Harry wanted children.

People tried to educate Meghan, and to advise Harry to slow down; they didn't listen. They couldn't actually be prevented from getting married; if the Queen had withheld consent, they could have gone ahead, but Harry would have lost his place in the line of succession. Imagine how Meghan people would have played up the race angle if that had happened.

ScarlettOYara · 28/04/2025 18:45

Oh for goodness sake. Harry and Meghan were adults! Thet chose to get engaged and married quickly. The family went with it, and supported them. It's Meghan's fault if she didn't learn the national anthem or read the folder she was given. Why on earth shouldn't the pair of them take responsibility for their own stupidity, arrogance and ignorance?!
It's always someone else's fault.
Their choice. Their timeline.

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 28/04/2025 18:50

She's nuts. Harry, you stupid, stupid man.

Butteredtoast55 · 28/04/2025 19:05

@Wakemeupbe4yougogo
It was all very rushed and they did marry too soon, but William did tell H to slow down and take his time to get to know Meghan. That's when H hit the roof and the relationship between them really began to fracture.

I think Harry was so desperate to have what William had (a wife and children, stability and love) that he fell hard. Meghan was desperate for, let's say, her own goals and fulfilment and she really has played him like a fiddle. I'm not criticising her though, because she also seems to crave adoration and have a need to be the absolute centre of someone's world. I can completely see how they could convince themselves that the stars aligned for their perfect love.

Oh dear me. Who does this?

FB huns do it all the time. It's now also on TikTok and IG.

It's the usual - looks how much more LOVED I am than you plebs.

I personally feel if you have to advertise it, it's because you're actually lacking in it.

My2cents1975 · 28/04/2025 19:09

IMHO, when M isolated H for full control, she underestimated their draw outside the royal USP, so we are witnessing a reverse ferret where M is ruthlessly using her children to try to reforge a royal connection. But M's kids will always be classed as Hollywood nepo-babies.

Unlike the cousins of H's generation, the Sussex kids have been isolated from their royal relatives and royal activities with royal backdrops. H's cousins are routinely present at garden parties, ride in carriages at Ascot, attend the Carol service and walk to church at Easter and Christmas. Each activity refreshes the cousin's association with one or more of KC3, W and G, the three that matter to the monarchy.

With dismal ratings, I am not sure what M can do next after this flopcast as she has already suffered a massive downgrade from Spotify to Lemonada.

Oh my god, how pathetic. Reading out a private letter from your young children to show how much they love you on a podcast about female founders?
This woman does not want any privacy and will literally sell every detail of her life for the clicks and the headlines.

Profhilodisaster · 28/04/2025 19:14

I think she conned him, all that camping in Africa stuff, I don't believe for one minute that it was her sort of thing.
A bit like my grandad, who apparently said he loved mashed potatoes because it was part of one of the first dinners my Nan cooked when they were courting. He hated mashed potatoes and it took many years of marriage before he told her !

Serenster · 28/04/2025 19:16

Quite. There’s certainly something Meghan feels she has to prove. People who are confident and happy in themselves don’t feel the need to publicly solicit, or publicise once solicited, excessive praise, in my experience.

Her friends tell us she is the best friend. Her employees tell us she is the best boss. Her biographer tells us she was the best student, the best cast member, the best packer, the best philanthropist. Her family tells us she is the best mother. Her podcast and tv show guests tell us she is the best host. It’s exhausting, and clearly cannot be reconciled with her history of relationships, whether personal or professional.

ScarlettOYara · 28/04/2025 19:21

Plus - no-one is like this, and it doesn't matter!

JADS · 28/04/2025 19:30

It's Meghan who is on this 'prove it' wheel. The problem is She and Harry keep saying these things that don't ring true. You don't even need to scratch the surface.

She would be more likeable if she could just admit she's wrong.

Absolutely. The RF were between a rock and a hard place. They did try and council Harry to take things more slowly and he kicked off. If they’d threatened he would lose his place in the succession if he didn’t wait imagine the storm about racism that would have erupted.

The things Harry and Meghan said about how they were treated was awful and that was based on them being given everything they wanted - a fast engagement, a huge scale public wedding, full time roles as senior working royals, amazing patronages, important overseas tours. Imagine what they’d have come out with if they’d been denied?

Harry should have never been given the green light for an engagement in such a short space of time; Meghan should have been very well educated into the protocol of the RF and a wedding should have been after 3 or 4 years of getting to know each other. Instead they ran headlong into a world that Meghan had no clue how to exist in; and all she wanted was the celebrity element and status. I think her late Majesty wanted them to have a large role within the commonwealth - instead, Meghan and Harry hijacked their tours with their woe is me attitude, and I still very much believe that they were asked to leave. Neither have the ability to put others before themselves - and are a pretty toxic combination. I feel horribly sorry for William being left to shoulder the burden of the RF future on his own, and for the Sussex children being deprived of relationships with cousins and extended family as well as their birthright.

They tried to! These are Harry’s own words. They tried to warn him he was rushing into things but as a grown man he decided to ignore them.

He's such a hypocrite. He's said how he told his father not to marry Camilla.

They'd have gone nuclear.

I think this isn't an episode of her own podcast. It seems to be the first time she's appeared on someone else's podcast.

This one is 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show'
