With Love, Meghan on Netflix

LOL Would you want to eat food Mindy Kaling made? None of them wore gloves during the show's food prep portion. I predict it all went into the trash, as cheese and meat is unfortunately not compostable.

Why wouldn’t you? They are friends and on a scripted set. It’s not like they were cooking in a mobile home that also housed bunches of rescue cats. You won’t eat food your friends make with non-gloves hands?

Most food isn’t prepared with gloves . Do you use gloves when you eat a burger and fries? You’ve never heard of hand washing?

Can anyone think of an analogous pair who sought fame and created content based on nothing? The only comparison is Real Housewives cast members AFAIC. They have not achieved in anything - Markle was not a super success at acting or at influencing. Other 2010s internet stars converted their “envy me! Get ready with me! Yayyyh” content into sellable product in conjunction with their site (cupcakes and cashmere, that dope who married a Ticonderoga pencil heir). Or — they turned to reality tv to recapture fleeting but earned fame in film, in music, etc (TI and Tiny, the Baldwins).

Meghan and Harry are different. They aren’t special because they kicked what made them special in the teeth and ran away. Their families don’t like them; they are out of cards to try and regain unwarranted, primogeniture based VIP status forever. It’s done.

This is pure Kardashians level stuff from 2008 or so but even then, Kim had a stylist job. I’ve never watched one second of any Kardashian show but those freaks seem to understand adaptation and how to convert fame into money. I’m under the impression that Meghan and Harry each think they’re too good for taking a note on how to succeed, that they “serve” and “think” and “are good people.” Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Kardashians. Influencers and social media personalities. Obamas. Trumps and Kushners. Nicki and Paris Hilton.

The Obama have fame based on nothing? In what universe lol

Yeah. Meghan Markle has zero in common with the Obamas esp Michelle, who has had a ton of genuinely fascinating life experiences and who has had to protect her kids from genuinely racist freaks.

Michelle immediately washed out of big law and has been grifting off her husband for literally 30 years.

He’s the one who grifted her. Most of his inner circle of friends (the Chicago crew ) and his political connections in Chicago came from her. I think that’s the source of her resentment. He obviously wanted to run for president since he was in his 20’s and now she has to deal with fame, caring about her hair and makeup and being called a man thanks to his political ambition.

She was First Lady for 8 years and did her job well. Meghan Markle was wife to prince harry and failed spectacularly at First Lady type duties in the BRF.

I agree. Michelle has made some recent statements about how unhappy she was in the White House. I think she did not want any part of being that high in politics and all the attention from the media It also seems like her baseline personality trends toward depressive or sullen. I think the Obamas are living separate lives but will not divorce.

Meghan did fail spectacularly. I think she did not realize how mundane the royal duties are. They spend most of their time shaking hands and cutting ribbons. Of course people get excited to see them but a lot of the places they visit are not glamorous at all.

The royal family is just weird in general and highly dysfunctional (each family goes after another in the British press) and they also hazed Kate for 10 years by calling her Waity Katy and Princess of Dolittle (the Queen’s nickname for her). Kate just put her head down and took the indignities throughout her 20’s.

But Meghan was in her mid 30’s, American, and already a divorcee so she was a bit too long in the tooth to be disrespected by a foreign royal apparatus. There’s also the racial jokes that were made (like the Moorish pin the Queen’s cousin wore) that were not in good taste. Due to the racial and age aspect, this was bound to be an explosion. I am not surprised Meghan could not just sit quietly and take the jabs the way Kate did. I think William is a jerk and Kate is the long suffering wife but we won’t ever hear a word from her about it. Meghan is an actress and loves fame so she was always fighting to be visible, famous, and make her voice heard which is not what royal women are supposed to do

Her voice heard. What does that even mean?

Meghan Markle’s greatest desire is to be envied, all eyes on her, in rich lady drag (housing situation be damned). There is zero but zero evidence that “helping others” is what motivates her, nor “caring for others.” She wants praise for handwriting and photo ops with her dolt at the UN.

This show is her greatest dream realized, it’s almost not her fault that it’s content free and yet still sucks.

Is it though? Maybe she thought "maybe Mindy wants to eat the crostini she made" or even "the butterfly is cute, I'll eat one of the others so as not to ruin it."

I think Meghan is wooden and not particularly charming on this show, but comments like this make me more sympathetic to her. This is nitpicking on an absurd level, to where no matter what she does, you'll probably find fault with it. In fact, in this specific instance, I bet if she'd eaten the crostini Mindy made, you'd be saying "did you notice that winds up eating the one Mindy made and didn't even ask if Mindy wanted it? Sooo telling."

Highly doubtful. She is a known germaphobe, esp in her social circle.

Oh really? Hadn’t heard that before.

You have mistaken Melania for Michelle.

I watched a few episodes and found Meghan totally humorless. Her forced smiles and unctuous praise of everything she does is fake and nauseating. I was really bored watching the show, but I liked the "set." Her friend's house is really nice, and she has a great kitchen to cook in, even though it's just a set, and not her own kitchen! I love the views out of the kitchen windows.
The thing that really bugged me though was the curated set. All the food has been prepped by Meg's staff, and all the bottles and fridge are styled -- no labels, nothing messy, not even a drop of water on the counter. It's all so pretty and perfect!
I do not understand who the show is for? Who is the audience? It's not a cooking show, not a crafts show, not a parenting show. It's a show-off-y show, ie showing off the bees and the garden and the cutesy little stuff she does like re-packaging pretzels in cute little plastic bags tied with raffia -- for what purpose? And those stupid effing bath salts she made in the first episode!! Who takes baths beside the Brits? I don't know a single American who takes baths. I have three bathtubs in my house, and I've used them only to give the dogs baths.
The show is so out of touch with the miseries millions are suffering here and around the world due to the callous and cruel actions taken by the Trump regime. She's like a Barbie doll in a fake kitchen making fake food, all dressed up in designer clothes and jewelry with her nails done, makeup and hair styled by others.
It wasn't even fun, and Meg didn't look like she was having fun. It was so forced. I was hoping she would be genuine and funny and clever, and she's just the opposite. Not someone I'd ever want to know. Or buy any of her junk. No thanks to "As Ever" preserves, bath salts and kitchen towels, or whatever else she's planning on selling. I'm giving my money to the ACLU.

Ok, assume this is all exactly true.

So? This describes frankly most famous people. True altruism is very rare and particularly among the rich and famous. If your true goal in life is to help and serve others, you don't pursue fame or fortune. Helping people is remarkably easy, actually, and best done anonymously.

I truly don't get why people get mad at Meghan for stuff that is just very common and typical of famous people. I get not liking her, just like I get not liking Kim Kardashian or most online influencers. What I will never understand is the intensity of that dislike. Don't you get bored? There are people on this thread who dislike Meghan more strongly than I dislike people I actually know who treated me very poorly in real life, to my face. That makes no sense to me. There are lots of vapid, annoying celebrities. Why does she get under people's skin so much? I am not sure I'll ever understand.

Jesus Christ. No one is mad at her. It’s the facially disingenuous crybabying she and he did re being victims overall and particularly of racism that is not something people SHOULD let go of. Her fans have decided that criticism of Markle is racist and sexist and as a mixed race woman of a similar age, I am not taking that shit anymore. She is the fakest public figure I’ve ever seen. Name a faker one, any era, sex, ethnicity.

She is a liar, she is an obvious fake mean girl, and unlike her, I have no love for antiquated ideas like monarchies. I like many DCUMers have a consistent set of political beliefs that don’t involve this grotesque prancing while pretending to be a new kind of public servant. She thought she could be a superstar in a tiara, say she’s in missions of mercy that are clearly pure attention hoing with no evidence that she or he donate real funds, and now has decided she can be queen of America, but can’t build a good product. Tut. Get outta here with this crap.

She’s not talented, funny, charming, interesting, empathetic, and she’s not drop-dead gorgeous or anything. She’s a talentless hack who doesn’t warrant this show or any show for that matter. This comes across as very weird and deeply thirsty for fame. It’s literally a boring reality show. She’s most certainly being mocked behind her back by A-listers.

She’s like 45 years old and can’t shut up about the “traumatic” 6 months of her life she got to live in a castle with a team of staff waiting on her hand and foot. Nobody is buying this fake victim woke DEI race hustler crap anymore.
