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.

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.

It’s not what she wants to do though is it?

Global stardom is difficult to hang on to even if you manage to achieve it in the first place.

She had it but let it go.

I do disagree with all the money the crown takes in rents. It seems immoral to me.

The royal family have not cut all ties. Harry and Meghan were invited to various state occasions but Meghan was too terrified to come without protection. Harry was offered accommodation but chose to stay elsewhere.

And we, the public, know a great deal about them from their own words, as communicated through their interviews, articles, videos, films and books, plus artless 'confidences' given to close friends who then relate them to the press. And surprisingly, are not sued.
And as Paddyann believed passionately in Nicola Sturgeon I don't regard her judgement as infallible.

You must be very close friends with the royals of you KNOW it’s all lies.Me? I think there’s probably more than a grain of truth in it otherwise why would they be so incensed as to cut all ties?
The other stuff that has come to light the houses owned by the rf that are substandard,the high rents charged to charities that THEY are patrons of …even charging for lifeboats to leave from their stations and the millions of rent for Ambulances !
That’s ALL true so why disbelieve the things family have said Clearly there is a very low moral standard in the royal family who take a huge amount from the publication d then take more by these charges etc
Time they were all sacked !

Absolutely!

Some on GransNet admire her , not me

Choccy1 Fri 03-Jan-25 13:49:48

She thought she was something special at the start, and now she isn’t. Had she stayed she could have been part of something special, so she inflicts her frou frou , pointless wisdom on anyone who’ll pay!

Well to return to the original post ( instead of the usual boring diversion into the Royal Family) I have to admit I was totally taken in by Nigellas “lifestyle” cookery and desperately wished I could cook well enough to hold those lovely dinner parties and soirées and bake chocolate brownies for friends who came to pour out their woes upon my comforting shoulders.

Then of course it all turned out to be a mirage.

I guess the Meghan programme is much of the same but I’m cured now.

Anyway we were much more the Osbournes really😬

Why not criticise liars?

Couldn’t agree more. Lairs the pair of them. I’ve just seen a clip on tv, it’s vomit inducing. God knows why anyone would watch that utter crap.

Didn't you all work with the help and cooperation of your husbands?
I'm pretty sure being part of a couple means you support each other, financially and otherwise.

You may as well say Katherine looks great "with the help of William's money and connections"

No, MissAdventure not all of us did. I am sure I am by no means unique in having no co-operation or financial support from my husband.

Even when I was earning more than he did, I still did all the collar.

The ones who did enjoy mutual support are the lucky ones.

Anniebach Fri 03-Jan-25 12:34:55

Truth ?
Megan - my passport was taken off me ! she flew to America

Megan - my baby will not be given a title because of colour of
its skin

Megan - we were married three days before our wedding ceremony

And more

The king should accept all the lies they have told, should accept
being accused of being a racist ? and this is a just one of their
lies

Harry is the Kings son and the future King’s brother.

He has made many mistakes, and actually only the Royal family actually know the truth, not us.

I said nothing about accepting anything.

Prince Andrew has, and still is, lying his way through life and being “funded” for it.

Harry is clearly damaged, I’m not blaming anyone for this.

Ironic isn’t it, that Harry wouldn’t even be in position had it not been for Mrs Wallace!

Kate1949 Fri 03-Jan-25 12:19:38

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.

MissInterpreted Fri 03-Jan-25 12:18:07

MissAdventure

No idea, because although I'm here, I'm not interested in any of them, particularly.

I just cant stand the thought of a whole series, with people glued to their TVs and criticising.

It's my own fault for getting involved. Should keep my nose out, so now I'm going to.

That's how I feel too. I couldn't give two hoots about any of the RF, but I do find it a bit ironic that many GNetters simply can't resist any opportunity to have a go at H&M.

It’s just another excuse to “Meghan bash”

I think some of their decisions have been very ill thought and rather foolish BUT I felt it was quite sad that the King chose to “blank them” in his annual Christmas speech and I think Prince Andrew gets less severe criticism than his nephew.

Good luck to them both, I might take a cc peek at the series

TillyTrotter Fri 03-Jan-25 12:09:38

I noticed you posted the question “is it ironic” twice 🙂 eazybee
so I’ll reply
- not in the least ironic.
We know a lot about this couple but we do not know the in-out money balancing sheets of their household accounts.
The outgoings must be beyond what I can imagine and I don’t think you’ll be privy to that?

Anniebach Fri 03-Jan-25 12:07:34

Not true, I know what they have both said., they both lie

Ilovedogs22 Fri 03-Jan-25 12:01:21

Leave Harry & Megan alone please haters! You known nothing about then do you?? Apart from the rubbish & bile that you read in the biased, hateful blooming tabloids! 🤔

Anniebach Fri 03-Jan-25 11:49:43

Not bashing, speaking the truth,

MissInterpreted Fri 03-Jan-25 11:41:55

Oh great, new year, new Meghan-bashing thread... hmm

merlotgran Fri 03-Jan-25 11:26:40

And she is at least trying to fund their expensive life-style by doing something positive

This is a moot point because having signed deals to earn money for Netflix and been paid millions in advance they have to come up with something that will actually work.

So far it has been a list of failures.
Meghan is in the last chance kitchen/garden/beehive!

henetha Fri 03-Jan-25 11:19:04

I've got Netflix and will no doubt be tempted just to have a look.
I'm not a big fan of Meghan, but feel a bit sorry for all the criticism she has to put up with.

Waste of space.
