I really wish the photo facility were working on GN. So much fun to be had here ... probably at my own peril!
I don't understand why they can't sort it.

I'll go first š
I've watched Episode 1 of the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle show on Netflix (a relaxed half hour over an early lunch) I enjoyed it! It's very beautiful in Montecito where they live, the camera loves her, she's a working wife and mother ... what's not to like?
I'll run for cover now... š

It sounds as though lots of people in America will enjoy it and I wish her well. It sounds totally harmless.
I cook a one pot pasta dish in my remoska ... chicken, tinned tomatoes, pasta ... cover and cook then sling in veggies at the right times. It is delicious and simple and cuts down on washing up.
You're right, Luckygirl it is harmless. And if viewed with an open mind, and as an armchair traveller to gorgeous California, it's a treat.

Ohhh I think that if Kate was cooking with her hair all over the place it would be perfectly acceptable for a lot of Gransnetters?!?
I really don't understand why poster's are only having a dig because it's Megan?
I think Harry's mother would turning in her Grave at all the negativity & malice directed at her younger son's little family. Very sad, leave them alone.š¤
i really donāt understand why posters are only having a go at Meghan
Well thereās a clue in the title of the thread. š¤·āāļø
Obviously youāre happy with liers. Most of us arenāt.
Iāve always had a perfectly honed bullshit detector. It was on full alert when she came on the scene. Sheās false.
Wow! "A perfectly- honed Bullshit detector" Petra!
That sounds like a marvelous piece of equipment to own!!!!
Where could I possible buy one?
Maybe I could find one in the very narrow-minded section of my local supermarket?? š¤
I only lasted five minutes of Episode 1 and then I have to turn it off, I find it so incredibly boring....
I went into this totally neutral on M. Awful really . Tone deaf.
I cannot imagine with enormous wealth choosing to behave like this.
Itās awful & made me cringe. She has so little self-awareness. The reviews are brutal, even from The Guardian!
If youāre a Meghan hater then youāll hate it anyway. Iām not a hater but am not interested in lifestyle programmes so wonāt watch it. I guess Iām not the target audience. The clips Iāve seen are ultra sugary.
It's nothing to do with being a Megan hater. It's just so boring and sickly. If any other person had presented this to Netflix they would have been laughed out of the building.
I'm not a Meghan hater. Why is this 'hater' even a thing? It's a tad immature.
I tried the programme. I'm not interested in influencer stuff at all but I thought I'd watch to see. As I said earlier it's very pretty but I found it extremely boring. It did have comedic value, albeit unintentionally. I also said I hoped critics might go easy but it's being shredded on both sides of the Atlantic.
Not by haters but by people who have an opinion which they're allowed to have. Opinions formed, not by trashy press, but by Meghan's very own words and actions.
Thereās an awful lot of jam but I wouldnāt mind popping round for chicken wing or two as she seems to be quite generous with the š¾š
I haven't had the chance yet but will definitely give it a go when I can.

Amazing that so many people have first hand acquaintance with someone in the public eye that they witness personally Meghans own words and actions and have not read about them in the press or watched carefully curated clips etc
The Guardian review tore the show to shreds - it got one star and I think that was out of pure pity.

Did you not watch the Oprah interview? Did you not hear about the book Spare? The book that Harry himself narrated?
This was all.witnessed by 'our own eyes' and ears!
I'm not sure you've heard about all that they've said, but I can assure you these are not carefully curated clips!
Netflix paid them a small fortune to spill the beans and they did.
I only saw a trailer on the BBC News, but she was talking about her name being āSussexā, not āMarkleā.
I think she will always be āMarkleā.
I know the other royals are referred to as Wales, Edinburghs, Yorks and so on, but donāt think we shall ever think of Harry and her in that way.
Putting the interviews aside, I've said before that I quite like Meghan. She has a sense of humour, and is often tongue in cheek. She'll give anything a go.
I didn't like her attitude to the royal family though.
She will give anything a go for the cameras, cameras and a
microphone ? The excitement is so great she pushes people aside to take centre stage

You canāt buy one.
Youāre either born with a perfectly working one or, like yourself, a defective one.
There's someone else in America who pushes people aside in front of the cameras, and he's far more dangerous!

You cannot trust a camera lover
There's something absolutely excruciating about this woman. Everything appears false, and everything sounds false. She might as well just say "give me the money".
Sussex isnāt her name unless sheās legally changed it. It isnāt Harryās name either.
Itās a title.

The Daily Telegraph arenāt too enamoured of the programme.
I canāt comment as I havenāt seen it and wonāt be.
Indeed UTBB. This, from an article there this morning:
āIt is all about āthe joy of hostessingā because Meghan is very welcoming to everyone, which you will know unless you are her father, her siblings, her father-in-law, her stepmother-in-law, her brother-in-law, her sister-in-law, 99 per cent of her husbandās old friends or Piers Morgan.ā
I subscribe to Netflix but shanāt be watching. Nothing to do with Meghan (I quite like her but sheās played her hand of cards all wrong in my opinion) just that cookery/lifestyle shows hold no interest at all for me. After all, I am
