What’s up with the Harry and Meghan Netflix docu series?

Also... their foundation's website. As someone who works in this realm, I've truly never seen a foundation with a website like this - This is the picture you choose to put on your website for Advocating for Equitable and Affordable Access to Childcare (https://archewell.com/news/advocating-equitable-affordable-access-to-childcare/)? This is what you choose for Celebrating the Power of Women (https://archewell.com/news/celebrating-the-power-of-women/)? This one for Investing in Women (https://archewell.com/news/ving-project-grant-1-million-women-in-need/)? The fact of the matter is that when you're putting together the face of your foundation, choosing to focus it on photoshoots of yourself rather than focusing on other people is just bizarre.

She needs a new stylist. She looks terrible in all the pics. And I agree, how totally irrelevant to the topic.

I can't stand her.

Exactly.

OK but, of course Spotify is going to promote their own podcasts.

Meghan’s latest podcast was at 77. Guess it’s time for her to take another dig at the BRF!

That’s a lot of Vitriol for someone you have literally never met.

Where are you getting 77? It's sitting at 31 overall and #4 in its category.

And interestingly, it performs better in the UK, where it's 29 overall and #3 in its category! Fancy that.

At the end of the day, each person is a reflection of his or her background. She is no exception.

Buyer's remorse. H&M agreed to do it and trashed the RF, forgetting that Granny, who controlled everything, was 96 and going to die some day soon leaving H's daddy in charge. Granny dies. They suddenly realize that they've burned the bridge to H's daddy's dough and back pedal. One would think that they might have thought through. Guess not.

I thought she is her own stylist?

I mean each episode barely breaks the top 30 and drops to 90-100 within 2-3 days. Spotify’s biggest production is a huge flop. What else can Spotify’s execs who made this bad deal say? Have they announced they are renewing it? Nope!

And yet. the fact that there are such dedicated fans like yourself who are constantly monitoring its performance is already a testament to how many eyes and ears the podcast has managed to capture.

It's unequivocally a success.

She is already distancing herself from the series in many ways, as evidenced by her direct quote in the Variety interview where she washes her hands of any discrepancies. “It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story—a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired—even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it. But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.”

Reminds me of the Queen’s fine and succinct statement - recollections may vary, indeed.

That quote is completely inoffensive. If anything, it's thoughtful and mature. But I remember when it caused a huge uproar.

This is why I don't trust any of the tabloid headlines or all the people who needlessly hate on her.

Her latest episode does not even feature in the top 100 episodes, none of them do. Same source as yours, just selected episodes from drop down menu. Episodes are based on number of listeners. You’re welcome!
