Meghan's "Holiday" special aired at 8 am British time today ...

[meghansturkey]

Here's a summary for you - it's full of British traditions like cracker pulling which she explains 🙄 , how to decorate a tree with lights and wearing matching pyjamas with her friends. Harry appears for the last 5 mins.

Meghan’s Christmas WLM is now in top 10 of Netflix shows watched globally as of 4 December, 2025. In the top 8 in the UK. Top 5 in Canada.

The woman has impact. She is successful.

Released on the 3rd Dec. Top 10 by the 4th - globally.

Surprisingly the Americans aren’t interested in it, and that is supposed to be her target market.

I guess the revelation she is wearing stolen clobber on the show might have created some interest 🤫🤫

In the UK started at seven, now 10 it has dropped everyday. The main people watching it are television critics and utubers who post videos about it. It's not a success.

Getting into the Top Ten for a few days is not really a 'success'. NF are interested in overall viewing figures, and the likliehood audiences would be interested in a subsequent season. Both of these are low, which is why NF have not renewed the Sussexes' contract and no other streaming service has rushed to sign them.

Yep , this was filmed almost 18 months ago, and nothing in the pipeline or has happened since then, so they were effectively dropped at that point until the official announcement of their contract not being renewed,

That's how I see it too.

The fact that this was filmed over a year ago is significant. Yes, I know that Christmas specials are usually made well in advance, but that would tend to be a few months, not an entire year and counting. A year is a long time in the 'celebrity' world. What if Meghan or any of her 'friends' completely changed their appearance? What if they publicly fell out? What if there were any scandals around them?

I think it's obvious NF knew this time last year that they would not be renewing. That's why all the WLM episodes were filmed in a block, to save money and fulfill contract obligations. But despite the face saving blurb about them 'transitioning to a new arrangement' or whatever, clearly the NF contract is over and nobody else has rushed in to grab the enticing opportunity to work with Archewell Productions.

If I remember correctly , W allegedly knocked over H when he went to see him to discuss Meghan’s rudeness to staff . He had tried to talk to Harry on the phone but he had hung up .
Not condoning violence but I suspect W was so angry with what seems to have been multiple staff being upset and H not taking on board what was being said .
I do also think that if W was asked about dogbowlgate it could well be another case of “ some recollections may vary”.

Harry probably slipped, we know he and Meghan lie and embellish, may not have even happened !

Dog bowl happened (in Harry’s my truth novel) post his marriage to Meghan, so William advising him to slow down pre marriage has nothing to do with the alleged incident.

Harry casts himself as the victim in every single situation, even down to getting the smaller bedroom im a castle, not the one with the view of the fountain. He never grew up.

The man is absolutely infuriating, and it’s only his account of dog bowl gate.

My initial reaction is I don’t blame William im the slightest for losing his shit with him.

Meghan isn’t some helpless child, most people with average intelligence would make it their priority to learn about the company or institution they were joining so either Meghan is of low intelligence or is completely up herself thinking she knows best, probably a combination of the two

Or possibly she never intended hanging around so saw no point in learning about anything, @Theresabatinmykitchen?

'Whatever the cause, my memory is my memory, it does what it does, gathers and curates as it sees fit, and there’s just as much truth in what I remember and how I remember it as there is in so-called objective facts.'

Whatever the cause…

To be fair, he knocked Harry down. Hardly the way to set about coming to an effective solution.

William did not knock Harry over during that conversation, the dog bowl incident had nothing to do with William advising Harry to slow down, that happened when William found out Meghan had been bullying staff.

I enjoyed it !
Light fluffy Christmas stuff.

There isn't anything else really like that to watch sort of magazine bit if this and that...

I used to like Kirstie crafty Christmas and I still do but her voice irritates me now.

Who else is there ?

Who else is there? About a million YouTube/Instagram/TikTok thrifters, home stylists, crafters and cooks, with truly interesting ideas?

aided by weed?

I read this as ‘I’m a liar but as it’s my truth no one can outright accuse me of lying.’.

I know I've posted this before - but at the risk of being boring ( ha ha as if I can't do that myself without aids 😊)

He (H) probably tried to smack W. We know he has form for lashing out because he told us so in his book, and apparently took a pop at Andrew too.

Harry slipped.

It didn’t happen this time, it happened another time.
Harry probably slipped.
I’m not condoning violence…but
I don’t blame William
Harry’s a liar

What a surprise 🤣 it's no longer in the top 10. Few days in top 10 getting no higher than 7 and now it's gone. A success it is not.

Did H actually say this?

He said it in Spare .
