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.

That's odd because I see two deleted.

The salad was beets or " beetroot" as the British call it and black olives, fennel and pickles I think.

Ooft - that's harsh - I particularly liked "a vegetable crudité wreath out of raw broccoli and desperation"

I read the article in the Times today which really was not at all complimentary.

Doubtful. It didn't work for the other "2" series, hence the very low viewer figures. People just watched/read the reviewers and imitators.

Indeed, I never watched the previous shows and I won’t watch this either, no need all the reviews pretty much explain what happened and the pertinent bits are on here or sm .🤷‍♀️

Yes and I didn't watch it this morning either 😂😂😂😂

Besides, even if it did, it's Christmas, time to help the needy and Harry & Meghan need every dime they can get.

🤣🤣🤣🤣, I guessed that you didn’t! 🤣

Oh goodness, shall I call the Salvation Army? We don't want Harry to end up like this when the (Spare) money runs out!

Meanwhile ...

There had better be a raw broccoli wreath somewhere on that table!

I haven’t watched any of her shows and no plans to do so but I suppose she is at least trying to earn money . Unfortunately the route she has chosen is not doing her any favours as she seems to be so out of her depth .
Really not sure what she could do as her acting skills aren’t great .
Maybe they need to downsize , live a simpler life and concentrate on charity work for a while.

Not sure whether anyone has mentioned the notes Meghan put in the advent calendar. You really shouldn't tell your children you love them because [reasons]. Parents are supposed to love their children unconditionally, not because they fit a wish list of desirable attributes.

And the salient point - a lot of that dirty laundry was dowright lies.

And she was ready enough to break protocol on manybother things, so I doubt she'd have stuck rigidly to tight colour as the obe boundary she would not breach.

I’m pretty sure Diana went bare legged from very early days. She might even have been praised for it in some quarters.

I've not doubt Meghan chose an outfit, realised it didn't look great when she later saw the pictures, and decided to blame the royal family, saying they made her wear XYZ.

Do we think she was wearing tights here? I don’t. OK it wasn’t an official engagement but it was a planned photo shoot. Personally I think The Late Queen wasn’t the type to send out instructions about tights.

I can’t find it now but something popped up on my instagram of a festive thanksgiving table catching fire. Fortunately rapidly extinguished with glasses of water chucked at the turkey trimmings (just as well no one had started in the brandy yet). Anyway crackers exploding with confetti (and dried flowers) in the presence of all those scented candles is a recipe for disaster.

Meghan's father in intensive care - wonder if this will be the time for him to see his grandchildren and her.

Yes it's a very odd thing to say to children. Mummy loves you because you are brave. What about Mummy loves you even when you're being a little shit? It harks back to Archie when asked if he wanted to water the plants with the hose saying "Mommy I can do it if you want me to".

I'm 😲

Can we not tell our children we love them for whatever reason, or does that apply just to Meghan?

You can say what you like to your kids. Telling them they are loved because they display particular positive attributes, rather than that they are simply loved unconditionally, is, imo, not good parenting.

I've done it wrong all my life then

Not sure my DCs in their 30s would agree but hey ho
