Meghan’s launching a new lifestyle show on Netflix.

I won’t be watching as we don’t have Netflix.

The cake she was putting the finishing touches to looked delicious.

She's hard-headed and realistic, which we now admire in women, don't we? She discovered that her presence in the Royal Family wasn't going to change anything, so she and her husband left for a country where her skills will be of more use to her (and possibly him too, but don't hold your breath). Why all the fuss? Just another woman trying to fit into a mad world.

If only they'd concentrated on their careers instead of getting involved with Oprah Winfrey. ☹
It backfired.

Incidentally, I am pleased to see that many younger people are becoming interested in bee keeping.
I know more than a couple of people who are keeping bees now.

I've seen lots of trailers and photographs online. Has she never heard of hygiene while cooking? (all that long straggly hair hanging over the food)

I think it’s sad to describe her hair as straggly but then my hair is sadly thinning badly so I am touchy about hair.

I was only quoting you to say I watch tv bakers and chefs like a hawk and a pet hate is how cooks ‘wash’ their hands in between handling different foods but a mature past GBBO baker wiped her nose on the back of her hand then swiftly whisked her short locks out of the way as she was demonstrating her recipe! I was stunned and showed a friend in case my eyes deceived me but she noticed straight away too. How the video was released I do not know!

She did have her passport taken off her

They did get married three days before their wedding ceremony

There was dancing in the streets in S.A. when they married as
there was when. Mandela wa# freed from jail

Her baby. would not receive a title because of skin colour

What??

Honestly, I don’t admire Meghan, I don’t know her, but I still think some of the fuss around what she says and does is just ludicrous. Live and let live. I’m sure many of us have done things we’ve lived to regret

I do disagree with all the money the crown takes in rents. It seems immoral to me.
As for Meghan and baking cakes I think there are many people who can put a good cake together but I wish her luck if it's what she wants to do.

You do know that the revenues from the Crown Estate go direct to the Government with a lesser proportion refunded to the Crown Estate in exchange for carrying out certain duties.

Your post sounds as if you think it goes to individuals.

Or perhaps you mean property rental as a whole is immoral?

They've just shown a clip of this on TV. It looked like some rich people in opulent surroundings gushing and fawning over each other whilst advising the rest of us how to do tasks we have been doing for years.

🤣🤣🤣
I might watch it if we got to see who does the cleaning up afterwards.

The same off switch that saved me from watching Gavin and Stacey, or Loose Women will till work.

Her cake's better than my cakes though

Kate1949 Fri 03-Jan-25 17:11:15

And mine. That's if she actually made them of course.

Good for her.
Working, bringing up her children, and still looks fabulous.

Yes MissAdventure, good luck to this much maligned couple.
The pure bile & negative spin from certain quarters of the British press is shocking! Yet, every spitful, salacious rumour printed is repeated & believed verbatim, again by certain sectors of the UK! It's so cruel & unnecessary! Harry's Mother would be appalled,
she too was hounded. I'm not a Royalist but no-one should ever be so spitefully slated as this poor little family, who are trying their best against a sea of hatred & bile & mis-information.🤔

If you knew anyone who had been on the receiving end of some of what went on behind the scenes you might not be so supportive of this poor little family, as you so wrongly describe them. .

Mollygo Fri 03-Jan-25 18:03:04

It’s there in print-the truth, the lies from them or about them and not just from the media.
Just use the off button.

Smacks of desperation but if Beckham’s son can do it why shouldn’t she?

Ohh well Allira, I'm intrigued!
Maybe you do have inside info?
Well I obviously don't. All I can see is a young family sadly estranged from their close family circle, who are being demonised by the press at every turn! Whatever they do seems to be wrong. They just can't win.😶

Smileless2012 Fri 03-Jan-25 19:51:02

They're estranged because they chose to be Ilovedogs.

My lips are sealed. 🤐
But there are always two sides to a story.

theworriedwell Fri 03-Jan-25 20:29:09

I never watch cooking programmes so if that's what it is I won't be watching. The cake looks nice and makes me want cake but my new years resolution is less cake so that's not good for me.

Didn’t you know?

The Beckhams and Ramsays are mates so that means Brooklyn’s a chef.
If he says so.

Anniebach Fri 03-Jan-25 22:04:58

Much being said that she is copying Emma Thynne

escaped Fri 03-Jan-25 22:16:22

I don't think the Beckham lad, although misguided, is actually asking for worldwide attention though. The intrusion comes from having famous parents, it's not his fault.

One of Brooklyn's creations was an egg, bacon and sausage sandwich - with ketchup

Bea65 Sat 04-Jan-25 01:06:04

Well I’ll watch and maybe post review after … some of the nasty stuff posted here is juvenile and mean girl behaviour IMO -
says more about ‘your’ character …

Anniebach Sat 04-Jan-25 05:21:37

Not nasty, just different standards of acceptable behaviour

Grammaretto Sat 04-Jan-25 06:25:05

Meghan is modelling herself on Nigella, obviously.
Nigella has never described herself as a trained chef but preferred the flirtatious, family fun approach rather than real cooking.
She hasn't done too badly so maybe Megs won't either.

Nigella's brownie recipe is yummy abd very expensive.
