The premise of With Love, Meghan is Meghan showing us how she makes life’s smallest moments and interactions absolutely magical for her friends and family—and herself, honestly. Each episode features at least one guest, and they’re, more often than not, her closest friends, which I found so charmingly authentic. Everything about the series feels endearing, cozy, and positively enchanting—and I actually learned a lot in addition to being entertained!

- She’s such a warm, wonderful, gracious host - She didn’t try to make the show into a celebrity parade - The royal family fumbled the bag catastrophically - I feel inspired to channel her energy and mindset in my life

After watching With Love, Meghan, I feel extremely inspired to be more thoughtful and intentional with my friends and family and to make life’s smallest moments a special experience for myself and others. While the series has really cozy vibes and is entertaining in itself, the anecdotes Meghan shares elevate the entire show. She’s very talented at showing and explaining how to do things in a gentle, approachable way. She assures viewers they can replicate what she’s doing by grabbing supplies at a grocery store or flea market—putting a lot of intention into telling people how to do what she does on a budget and demystifying things that are perceived as difficult or complicated. Again, she’s just SO real. It’s easy to forget she was born and raised in Los Angeles and had a very normal upbringing…

There were so many moments when I was watching the show and just started ranting to my husband about how I will never understand how so many people hate Meghan, and how the royal family made their biggest mistake in not only letting her get away…

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. The show is promoting homemaking and feminine crafts(?) Something that doesn’t seem politically polarizing.

But why do she and Harry still refer to themselves by their Duke/Duchess titles in their American ventures?

But why do she and Harry still refer to themselves by their Duke/Duchess titles in their American ventures?

She actually demands to be addressed using the surname "Sussex."

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I saw that. And i get it. But apparently the credits read “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” not “Meghan Sussex”

[Tijeras_Slim]

Because Duchess sounds better than grifter.

For awhile now, I have been worried about AI and automation. I see a future in which a very large percentage of humans have nothing of value to contribute to the economy. Maybe some level of socialist welfare will make sure that people will be cared for, but they will only be expected to sit at home and “not cause trouble”. I think that is unlikely. The Devil makes work for idle hands.

However, Meghan Markle is actually demonstrating that if you have some level of income (no job needed) and plenty of time on your hands, then you can spend all day in your garden, or making bread, or making little thoughtful gifts for friends and neighbors. Honestly, this idyllic little lifestyle is pretty nice. No difference between weekdays and weekends. Every day is playtime. Of course, right now, it's not available to anyone outside the circle of quasi-royalty. But maybe it's how more people will live in the future.

Full disclosure: My wife likes Meghan Markle quite a bit. I find it all a bit fake, but if I turn my brain off a bit, the show is somewhat appealing. It's just a childlike existence making crafts and playing in the garden and making tasty things in the kitchen.

Will AI allow us all to live like this?
Will AI force us all to live like this?

Could be worse.

Megan Sucketh.

Are they still on that world wide privacy tour?

[Jyotishi]

Evidently Meghan likes alliterative assonance

[Jamestown1630]

“Megan Sucketh”.

That’s very good.

How did the royal family let her get away?

Is that how it happened?

Didn’t she make it clear she wanted out, not that they let her get away?

The Monarchy would have ended the day QE 2 died, if not for William, Kate and the kids.

I’m the King of the Road
She’s the Queen of the House
And it may not be a palace
But it sure beats a load
By the side of the road
Broke down south of Dallas…

I find myself wanting her show, and all she does, to be an absolute failure. And Harry too! Don’t know why exactly but I do!

[tumblindice]

Talkin about the queen again, Duck? And on the 4th of July?
(puts boots to Harry)
I keep thinking about Gene Hackman

This post needs a barf alert.

IMO they’re fake and extremely unlikeable.

. . . her closest friends

Meghan has friends?

Link Laurens take on Megan. He’s hilarious. https://x.com/HelenRosamond11/status/1897966591851319731?fbclid=IwY2xjawI7Hf5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHVQWEzTCXf1U9iv0dVsoOlMqgwqIPrRiJMSBtExAKzQL88LncZeH5QFgeg_aem_Lj9cEburdw_ep6pzw7jUKA

This author finds Me-again charmingly authentic? LOL

Obviously not a good judge of character.

[pnz1]

Supposedly her show is very similar to Pamela Anderson’s new show. I think it’s called “CookingWith Love.”

[Bob434]

well let’s see- will watch her show, then alac baldwin’s whiny show trying to exhortation himself, then drink myself stupid- NOPE!
