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.

I wouldn't have expected it to, @Thedom
To borrow the domino analogy again, once they start toppling it can be almost impossible to reverse the effect, so it's probably now just a case of waiting to see what the next failed project will be

What was it about this week ?

It was about how wonderful she is. Same as the last really.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 30/04/2025 18:22

I don't know, @Mylovelygreendress; I wasted 10 minutes I'll never get back on the first one and don't want to waste any more

And that's what I also meant about the dominos ... she could pull off something akin to the Gettysburg Address and I doubt many would hear about it until afterwards now, because as the ratings clearly show, many have simply given up

Coincidentally, I’m in the middle of reading Snobs by Julian Fellows and have just read this line, describing a new It girl: “The seductive element of being pursued by newshounds is that inevitably one starts to feel that if so many people are interested in one’s life, one’s life must ergo be interesting”.

I heard the first couple of minutes. Where Meghan randomly mentions that her blood type is A positive. A plus. And says that even her blood type is an over-achiever. So she believes she's an over-achiever. I think we can probably guess how the rest of this episode will go.

It’s good to remember I think how much power Meghan was holding back in 2021 following her Oprah interview - she likely would have got Piers Morgan fired for criticising her if he hadn’t walked, and she did get Sharon Osborne fired from her talk show in the US for saying she supported Piers expressing his views, which was cast as Sharon supporting racism.

Having the power to effectively cancel people who say things you don’t like must have gone to her head massively - how could it not?

Edited

This I agree with. So I think I mentioned before the Reitman's hairdresser who retracted everything because M was very very powerful in the early days in the sense she had the ear of v important people and people were fearful of their jobs.

I think the sudden trajectory into fame by marrying Harry & then the multi multi $$$ deals just went to her head and I am not sure she had the where with all to cope with it or deal with it properly. She was a bit like a child in a sweet shop who thought she had everything she ever wanted drop into her lap. But over time , it is becoming obvious ( to viewers / listeners , if not people who will give her a job ) , that she just doesn't cut it as a printer / podcaster / I would say philanthropist but that seems to have been thrown into the long grass. But I think she still has enough people around her bolstering up her fabulosity she doesn't care. And I don't think she will until the money starts running out. Which it may or may not.

I think (on a lesser scale) most of us have someone - a spouse / partner / friend - someone we respect who will be honest with us when we make a mistake . & I am not sure (obviously I don't know) she has that. So I think she's in a bubble of people invite her to things and tell her she is beautiful , kind , clever , a beacon of light and motherhood without any hint of constructive criticism and she just believes it. I reckon she's got a few years of this yet - until as I say the money starts running out ( which it may or may not - she seems nothing if not laser focussed on earning money. )

Just my thoughts.

Can anyone explain why she appears to copy whatever Catherine wears ?
She also had clothing v similar to the Wales children on her page .
She appears to have become very British in her tastes .
I thought she was desperate to leave the U K behind .
its as if she really can’t tear herself away from the RF .
It would freak me out if my sister in law copied my clothes etc.
I just can’t work it out , I thought that California was her dream .

It’s all about the brand she’s trying to flog: British-style shortbread cookie mix, tea, jam, and some pseudo-sophisticated French-style crepe mixture. She’s latched onto what she imagines is a British royal identity (whatever that even means) as her USP. Now she’s styling herself to resemble the Princess of Wales with her outfits. Funny how she made a point on her recent podcast about being married to Harry for seven years, just as Kate hits 14. It’s clear she’s trying to compete directly with her. Seems like she’s dropped the whole “I’m the next Diana” thing, now she just wants to be appear Kate like and wouldn’t mind being mistaken for actual royalty while she’s at it.

Of course she has the bestest blood ever! In the next episode Meghan reveals she pees liquid gold and her poop smells of freshly cut grass.

But it’s likely that being able to use his wife’s bespoke delivery service and tweak Piers Morgan’s tail at the same time was too good an opportunity to miss. I can’t deny, it think it was a brilliant Machiavellian move if so. 🤣

But only if she still cares what Piers Morgan thinks, years after all this happened. Not at all the impression she seems to want to give, which is that she living her best and most authentic life, high above all that media grubbiness 🤷‍♀️

Oh she cares 😂

They don't, though. Even though Harry is suing the Home Office, not Charles.
They obviously aren't very bright!

Ha ha ha - My Dh is A positive - I'm A negative - the only effect that has had on my life is that being Rhesus negative I had to have injections in my bottom whilst pregnant. She didn't really say her blood type was an overachiever? Well if she did maybe she does have a sense of humour. 😂

jamanbutter · 30/04/2025 20:32

The woman is insufferable.
She says stuff like “ H said to me my love why don’t you take a break…”.
WHO says that! Seriously. And she really needs to say that he said “my love”.

She is from another world.

she did get Sharon Osborne fired from her talk show in the US for saying she supported Piers expressing his views, which was cast as Sharon supporting racism

I had forgotten about that, isn’t it unnerving that Meghan wielded so much power at the time that she could bring someone down as big as Sharon Osbourne, I do remember Sharon being shaken up by the experience, it pretty much ended her career.

In 2021, after Morgan quit Good Morning Britain following a controversial rant about Markle, Osbourne defended the broadcaster, writing on X/Twitter: “@piersmorgan I am with you. I stand by you,” Osbourne tweeted. “People forget that you’re paid for your opinion and that you’re just speaking your truth.”
This led to a tumultuous time for Osbourne, who ended up in a terse back-and-forth with Sheryl Underwood, her former co-star on US series The Talk.
Explaining her support for Morgan, Osbourne said: “I feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist.
When the show returned after an advert break, Osbourne tearfully asked Underwood in a raised voice: ‘I will ask you again, Sheryl... and don’t try and cry because if anyone should be crying, it should be me. This is the situation, you tell me where you have heard him say racist things. Educate me.”
Underwood calmly replied that it wasn’t “exact words of racism” but “the implication and the reaction to it” and that she wasn’t trying to accuse Osbourne of being racist
I think it’s too late, I think that seed’s already sewn,” Osbourne said.
A review into the heated discussion by network CBS, found in part that Osbourne’s behaviour towards her co-hosts during the 10 March episode “did not align with our values for a respectful workplace”, and she left the show.

Just for you, @BasiliskStare . Transcript of the start of the podcast:

M: Hi, oh my gosh.

J: We're actually double recording for you and we started five minutes out.

M: Oh Jamie, I feel like we haven't talked about our blood type, but yours is probably an A positive like mine, because I was like, even my blood is overachieving.

J: It is.

M: It is?

J: It is and I just learned that this year actually. Oh my god.

M: That's my running joke. I was like, even my blood type has to be like A positive. A plus. A plus.

J: Oh my gosh.

M: Thank you for doing this. It's been a full week. But here we are. You good?

J: Yes, are you ok?

M: Yeah. Well you saw my text yesterday, so there's a lot going on, but that's for our rocking chairs. These are our pseudo rocking chairs.

J: Okay.

M: And same vibe. So let's start with that moment of where it all began.....

I mean, if you can figure out wtf they are talking about half the time, you're a better person than me! I don't think there's much humour there, I don't think she has a sense of humor about herself!

jamanbutter · 30/04/2025 21:15

”You are amazing”
”You are more amazing”
”You are wonderful”
”You are wonderfuller”
”You are so beautiful”
”You are so beautifuller”

Cant believe this is an interview with an ex member of the royal family. Wow.
I much prefer watching Andrew interview.

" I feel we haven't talked about our blood type. " That sounds like the worst chat up line ever. I take it back - perhaps she hasn't got a sense of humour - especially when she has to say - that's my running joke.

'I was like.' Twice in that short excerpt. And then they both say 'Oh my gosh'. They sound like a couple of squealing teenage girls, not serious businesswomen. Or is this how serious businesswomen talk in California?

If you endured the JKL podcast, you can hear that they talk in really "ickle girl" vocal fry voices and, yes, the billionaire and the member of the BRF squeal like teenagers a lot while they chew on their word salad and self help manual bullshit. To be fair to MM, the tenor of JKL's voice is by far the worst of the two.
