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.

What do looks have to do with keeping chickens ? I am confused .

Who said Harry was being kept a prisoner? I heard he was in Canada on a paid speaking event with real estate agents?

Is there nothing you like about it?

Sums it up well!

The poster I quoted seems to think they do.

I don’t see the poster referring to Meghan’s looks . Still confused 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the reminder OP!

Looking forward to watching it this evening, I enjoyed her food / cooking show and I am ready for some Christmassy feel good stuff

I made this last year - it's so easy but so moreish.

I love her offerings to the world - they just manage to miss the mark every time, but are delivered with so much misplaced self-belief thinly veiling her imperiousness that each one the South Park gift that keeps on giving. In all she does, she creates so many opportunities for Insta videos that provide much hilarity in these difficult times, so crack on Meg, I say - brava!

Me too. I watched some of her cooking lifestyle show and it was just easy watching with some beautiful scenery

Not sure why she's being criticised for talking about her Christmas tree in the way she did, it's how I feel about mine and even though my DCs are in their 30s I still have the curled up angel with wool hair, and the glittery painted star they made when tiny.

Hope this programme is a hit for her and she can ignore the obsessives trying to drag it down

Agreed. Why do they feel they need to be in the public eye at all. They are not experts in anything in particular. She could go back to acting and he could do something in the army, but thats about it. Why do they have to shove themselves down our throats.

It’s a dull vanity project. Why would anyone want to see a wealthy woman showing off her perfect life and demonstrating Christmas crackers?

There must be more interesting things to watch. People must be fatigued after so many Netflix shows in such a short timespan.

Anyway, let those who like this sort of thing crack on with it.

There's no shoving down throats. Easily ignored if you dislike them so much
I only knew about her Christmas NF from the OP kindly advertising it on here for Meghan which means I'll have a squint at it!

Here's the original inventor of crackers

This is what I have long wondered. Why does she think she is qualified to advise anyone on life or lifestyle? She has zero expertise in any field.

Her very basic ideas are the same as in the “household hints” books of 50-70 years ago. (I have a collection of such books) and not very well executed at that.

The Telegraph have already reviewed it!

1/5

‘Meghan’s Christmas special is quite mad and a little sad

Meghan prepares for the festive season with her usual manic intensity – and finally lets dear old Harry out of the pantry’

Here’s a free link for anyone interested

It is an "aspirational " nonsense programme of nothingness, Netflix have commissioned her to make nonsense. It is no different to Kirsty allsop making twee Christmas programmes on ch4,

The point is that everyone feels that way about their tree and family/nostalgic baubles. It’s hardly original or groundbreaking on her part. I’ve seen amateur YouTube videos with more original and thought provoking lifestyle content.

True.

The Times review

No rating but the snark is strong in this one 🤣

She wants to be an A list celebrity. That’s all there is to it really.

Hilary Rose is hilarious and absolutely spot on 😂

I remember Kirsty having some programme about making everything yourself (Christmas decor etc). I doubt anyone really did that, seemed like a lot of faff and I doubt Kirsty did it when the cameras were off. There’s been so many lifestyle programmes, they’re more background for me, I’ve never carried out any of the suggestions from any of them.

I love these Meghan criticism threads, always so funny. Why on earth would you assume she celebrates Kwanzaa ffs 😂😂. For people who seem to dislike her so much, they do like a thread promoting whatever she’s selling! The only time I hear anything about Meghan is when someone online is slagging her off, honestly sort out your algorithms, Harry and Meghan are not really note worthy in the real world.

And Netflix show lots of these type of reality TV, aspirational tat shows. Really not hard to miss if you’re not interested!

I was surprised to see Kirstie's show advertised the other day. I didn't realise she did this. It's Channel 4. There's been EIGHT seasons !
