“I wanted to protect that safe haven,” she told People in an exclusive interview. “We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments — putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day."

She continued, "Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house!”

While the series’ interior scenes were filmed in the farmhouse, a few scenes showcase the exterior of her Montecito house, including the backyard, chicken coop, and orchard.

Who talks like that about their nuclear family with kids 5 and under? “We’re a close knit family!” It’s strange, tense, and unnatural.

I think she’s trying as carefully as possible to acknowledge that her privilege allows her that slower pace of life, and kind of defending that choice a little bit. The examples she gives (eating lunch together, being the one to put baby down for a nap) are not available to a dual-income family with parents who travel all the time for work and outsource the majority of their childcare (and remember, her foil here is similarly privileged people making a different choice). But no matter what she does, doesn’t do, says, doesn’t say, she’ll get hate.

Okay but that's also what SAHMs have, and they don't call it a "close knit family." It just means you have a lot of time to spend with your kids and you enjoy and appreciate that.

I'm always a little leery when people self proclaim that they are a "close knit" or "tight knit" family.

She is really fake. She's bad at acting "normal".

omg.

Brutal. I think I feel bad for her only because she seems really earnest about this. And I am NO fan of hers.

Honestly, that Oprah interview was probably the worst thing they could’ve done for their long term success. They would seem so much more sympathetic and likable if they had not done that.

+1. She lost me with the “Waity Katey” comment. Mean girl.

When did she say this?

Oprah interview.

But are those people in her situation? With the constant scrutiny and international hate for her, is there any way at all that she would *not* start to form an “us-against-the-world” mentality?

The people in her orbit who knew what it takes to grow plants were Charles and Camilla. She has never previously owned property, never showed an interest in any prior life stage, and currently refuses to show anything like her life in her price-slashed oligarch-had-to-sell mansion. It’s all fake. The fakest things are her skill set, her charm, and what’s sitting on her head.

Right...for whatever criticisms people throw at Martha, she really did, (despite also having a team) do all the things she preached. It was real. And she did these things for decades. She gardened, cooked, took care of her animals, renovated her first house and knew how to craft and decorate/collect, etc.

I remember when Martha's wedding book came out. It was an earthquake in the wedding industry. The style was imitated by many brides who liked the simple, natural elegance.

She referenced the tabloids calling her Waity Katie, which she acknowledged must have been hard for Kate. How is that mean?

“Sacred time at the end of the day” lolz

Yeah, and "Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family." You mean along with the nannies, cooks and private chefs? Please.

It's like there was no space for real spontaneity or anything genuinely real.

She can't relate to the immigrant experience so nothing to talk about there.

Jack in the Box jumped on the admission by Meghan that she ate there with funny ad stating you can eat like royalty. 😂

If you want to see why most of the people on this board do not respond positively to Meghan Markle’s show, just watch a few random clips from Pamela Anderson’s cooking show. She is warm, inviting, curious, and likable. If Meghan could have accomplished this vibe, she would have had something. She didn’t and she doesn’t. This show will obviously get the attention out of the gate, but mark my words… it will be out of the top 10 within the week. Maybe sooner.

Not to mention referring to yourself in the third person as "Mama."

She is never going to live down the remark to MK about being "Sussex now".

It is giving Countess Luann, which was a classic scene from RHW when she got upset with Bethenny Frankel for calling her "Luann" rather than "Countess" to Bethenny's driver.

I think she might mean very small family unit when she says close knit, as in her dh and kids and that is it. Sad considering they are both from large families and weird even her mom did not get an episode.

She is successful at life in many ways and Harry even as a dead element is worth a lot. If this gig won't work out, they'll find another one. They have face recognition and a network of useful contacts.
