I think literally zero people will buy it and it will all spoil in whatever warehouse it’s in. |
She’s gone by Meghan since childhood. How is Meghan any less white of a name than Rachel? If that was her intention, why not just completely pick a new name like her half-sister did? Samantha’s birth name was Yvonne. |
Forgive me if I'm missing something, but when people talk about her whining over and over, what does this refer to? The Oprah interview? I admit I only watched like 10 minutes of it but it didn't come off as whiny to me. Has she given other interviews? The only other public statement I know of on the matter was Harry's book, but that's him, not her, right? I don't follow her closely and just watched a few episodes of this show and thought it was okay, not amazing. She is awkward and it seems a bit forced but the show is very pretty and some of the ideas are good. Has she done a bunch of interviews where she complains about stuff with his family? Is she still talking about it in interviews? I honestly don't now. |
TIL Rachel is a "white" name and Meghan is a "Black" name. (Even though every Meghan I know of other than MM is white.) |
Oprah, the book, she mentioned it on her Africa charity tour, her People magazine interview promoting this new show alluded to it, the first episode of her show said Daniel was here for "the before, during, and after, shall we say." These are just a few examples. It comes up almost any time she has a public platform. I think if she would finally drop it, people would move on. |
She brings up her woes in sly ways. It came up in ep 1 as stated above and in the whole you know I’m Sussex now exchange. Yet it seems a lot of her supporters take glee in “Kate Middleton” and “Wait-tee Kate-tee” as carefully enunciated by an infuriated and contemptuous Meghan on Oprah. She’s mad and pass-agg and controlling. |
I didn’t read Spare but didn’t dummy Harry claim he was ‘assaulted’ by his brother. How embarrassing for Harry to put that family dirty laundry in a tell all. Gross. And I thought he also claimed he’d told his therapist. But didn’t MM and he also claim that the BRF wouldn’t allow anyone to speak to mental health professionals? Which is it. As a New Yorker, I’ll say their claims to have been chased and ‘endangered’ by paparazzi (a la Princess Di) through the streets of Manhattan was obviously a total lie from the get go. Could not have happened as they claimed. |
Well, no, not "literally" zero. I'm already planning on buying some of the crepe and shortbread cookie mix! |
Sure sure. On the clock already, eh? |
+1. And I firmly believe those were due to her not “fitting in”: - Being half black - Being an “actress” - Being from a socioeconomic class - Not being painfully shy and super-accommodative to fit in a la Kate Middleton - Being a typical American “go-getter” who wants to get things done and expects her staff to work instead of sitting around and drinking tea I would guess they made it miserable for her through typical British snickers. She could have handled it *a lot* better by being calm and waiting it out, but she was immature as well. Honestly she could have had a blast if she stayed in the BRF. No money troubles or hustling for sponsorships/deals. Show up with nice hair and makeup to cut ribbons and be fawned over. Organize innovative charity events (like that dress thing she did). She could still release inoffensive lifestyle videos for fun. |
The idea that Meghan Markle was surrounded by lazy tea-drinkers employed by the BRF, where the employees and not the family members were just sipping at tea between staring at the walls and her go go go hustle hustle bustle you better werk hard-driving high-achieving self just couldn’t handle all that…tea drinking? Is amusing.
I’ll just go and place my pretzels into a bag after doing the work to get my seat at the table (attaching a cursive label reading: dancer! Nuts.) |
She came across as smug in that scene, especially when she cited the "high" part of her high/low outfit. She's never heard of "lewk"? Really? |
Thank you for asking. Not many people have asked if I'm okay. ![]() |
That fashion collab she did and the cookbook (which I have) were so good. The BRF is missing out. Their loss. I don’t think she could do lifestyle videos though. They made her take down her blog. |
Weird that you think I’d make that up. I bought that cookbook she wrote the forward to in order to raise money for the Grenfell victims. |
