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.

She took a personal letter her husband had written from the kids to a podcast interview...a letter which shows what an amazing mother she is...she planned to read it, and then cry...and then comment about not wearing makeup...

She is seriously messed up.

I've not liked how the pair of them have behaved since they left the RF but this is the first time I've actually thought:
She is Unhinged.

I can’t get past the emailing. How can anyone think that emailing your children for posterity is a normal and loving thing to do.

But who is she emailing them to? Do her kids have email accounts? If so then that’s just waiting to get hacked and letter leaked.

The Queen nailed it. 'I suppose I have to say yes.' They all knew Harry was needy and volatile. Any resistance would have sent him over the edge.

i can't get over the use of HRH Duchess of Sussex on a gift to a person who is meant to be a friend, ignoring the use of HRH which is just to provoke why would you use anything other than Meghan. It always come back to hypocrisy so much for linked not ranked.

IAmATorturedPoet · 28/04/2025 22:02

The email thing is a bit strange and the podcast itself is even stranger.

I wonder if she cc’s Harry on these emails?🤔

IdaGlossop · 28/04/2025 22:04

There is an As ever official Canada IG account. It uses Meghan's palmtree and humming bird logo. The owner: a Canada food bank. Does Meghan know? Does she care?

Wildbird12 · 28/04/2025 22:05

Didn't she also show a note 'H' had written when she was on the Drew Barrymore show... Imagine if a man acted like this?! Showing notes his wife had written saying she thought he was great?! I think if you are confident and sure of yourself you absolutely would not feel the need to try and 'prove' that you have a loving family.

Maybe they’ll be strategically hacked and leaked in the next big attention grab.
She’s probably just laying the groundwork.

If memory serves, she's not so keen on her private letters being made public....

The fact that he wrote about that shows his staggering lack of awareness because it makes it completely clear what TLQ really thought!

It’s especially odd from someone who has made herself known for her handwriting.

StrawberryWasp · 28/04/2025 22:09

An occasional letter for posterity might be nice to look back on.

But she gets it wrong again by claiming she's doing this every day. Which is clearly a lie as that would be insane:

Today Papa practised his juggling and watched the guy clean the pool.

Today I did a load of zoom calls and yelled at some people. You stayed upstairs with the nanny.

Today we pretended to make blueberry muffins for Instagram you had to stir the bowl but it took my assistant 25 minutes to get the right angle of the top of your head for the video, so you moaned because you were bored, then I had to go and meditate.

Her lies reveal that she doesn't understand what normal people are like or how they live so she has to pretend.

It's not, it's controlling and self-centred. The question is whose needs are these emails really serving? At 16, most teens are striving for independence, developing their own identities, and pushing away from their parents to do that. Suddenly being handed years of daily emails, a version of their childhood curated entirely through their mother’s eyes, is likely to feel overwhelming, invasive, manipulative and stifling.

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 28/04/2025 22:13

Jamie kern Lima founded a hugely successful cosmetics company, so the "I'm so glad I don't wear make up" comment was just throwing shade at that.

Vespanest · 28/04/2025 22:15

I do wonder if Harry gets love declaration from his children via Meghan. I would not like to be the other parent in a love bombing scenario.

Also her comment on why she was doing this was about how they would think about her: she loved us so much.

Everything is an opportunity for others to notice how amazing she is.

She is even planning what an amazing mother her children will think she is 15 yrs time. And telling us in advance.

She is Unhinged.

StrawberryWasp · 28/04/2025 22:18

This makes me certain there are many many untold stories out there about her as she is evidently such a fantasist.

The RF must have some dreadful/amazing stories they probably wish they could tell but never will.

Missohnoyoubetterdont · 28/04/2025 22:29

Why is everyone so awful about her? I really don’t get it.

HiRen · 28/04/2025 22:48

This is actually just really really sad.

Nobody who is content, well adjusted, secure would talk about their family as much as she does. And if they do, not in the terms she uses. Everything is just…off. I just see a woman, desperate for love and attention and adoration. She’s the child of a broken home, bitterly divorced parents neither of whom went into further successful relationships. I don’t think she knows what a secure and loving relationship is. And, neither does her husband. They’re both from horribly and nastily broken homes, where nobody modeled how to put your children first (except possible Markle Snr, for a period of time). Their most crucial relationships were contingent. No wonder she talks about her children - well, her daughter as 90% of her talk of children is about the girl - the way she does. I suspect she still, as a mother herself, desperately seeks her mother’s approval.

It’s very sad.

I'm a touch on the fence about the email thing. We set up email addresses for our kids when they were little. The idea was to add an email each birthday with a few cute photos. Spoiler alert we never managed it.

My dear Dad in his last few months wrote a word document full of anecdotes from his childhood. We found it after he passed and it was just so wonderful to read.

An email a day sounds far too much and completely dull. No 18 year old will want to read all that!

JADS · 28/04/2025 23:34

There are only two people who have said Meghan is like Diana. One is Meghan and one is Harry. The Spencer family have pushed back on this narrative and I have never heard William or Charles state this opinion. They really need to stop with this.

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.

I agree that MM is pushing the "Britishness" of her brand. Its not an accident that her products are shortbread, jams and honey, that she did a IG post about Mother's Day UK date - diff to US date - she isnt a British mother and her DCs dont live in the UK - she also spoke about the DCs pronunciation of zebra etc and now Mummy - not Mommy. Her 'usp' as she sees it is British which I understand some Americans find quaint. I suppose she needs that as she has zero other attributes to make her 'offering' stand out ot be appealing amongst all the other hundreds of insta-mums.

TheCraicDealer · 29/04/2025 00:01

Did anyone else clock the bit about her memoir? ”And then I think people are often curious if I'm going to write a memoir, but I've got a lot more life to live before I'm there."

Interesting when considered in tandem with the gossip from earlier in the year about her team allegedly putting feelers out with respect to a post-divorce book.

Tbh I think even something as big as a tell-all book has a sell by date to a certain extent. Megxit now feels like a long time ago and to many Meghan looks like a much less reliable narrator than she did even two or three years ago- if she keeps following this trajectory I’m not sure how many people with really care about her take on it all nearly a decade after the events in question. The only aspect that could really make big numbers would be if she was willing to dish the dirt on their marriage, and I’d like to think for both their sakes that’s out of the question.

"My husband is a fox" yup Meghan he is...
