With Love Meghan Season 2 Review Are Harsh.

The reviews are coming in and then are not only universally bad, but even worse than the first season I think.

The Guardian says: "It’s so boring, so contrived, so effortfully whimsical that, do you know what? In the end, it does become almost fascinating. You find yourself wondering things you would never normally wonder, such as, what would it take for me to embark on making vegan macaroons? How large a part of Meghan wants to run screaming for the hills? How excited could I get about tiny eggs from silkie chickens? What if I were being paid the thick end of $100m to do so, before my original deal ran out?"

The Telegraph calls it Meghan's Marie Antoinette moment.

The Times says, you'll need therapy after watching.

The Independent says, we're being gas-lit by a multimillionaire.

Finally, Meghan has an new interview with Bloomberg today where she says that felt "trapped" at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, taht she was "not okay." And that as a member of the royal family she was made to wear panty hoes (leggings we call them in the UK) which felt inauthentic (just a note, Catherine didn't start wearing panty hose on public engagements until she was in her mid-30s). She could only wear monochrome colours, but then in S2 of With Love she says she loves only wearing monochrome.

We call pantyhose 'tights' in the UK. Leggings are something entirely different.

Chrissy Tiegen who has a history of bullying children on the internet? It doesn’t bother Meghan that Tiegen made fun of a 9 year old black actress, calling her cocky and linking an article that called her a cunt?

I thought Meghan was against all of this?

Loving the "not only universally bad, but even worse than the first season " comment. Am just not able to warm to her. Like all of us here I do not know her, have not seen her in person, only know some of her press and videos. None of it has me a fan. Yeah, I know, as if she would care. But ya' never know!

She's still lamenting having to wear tights during her 15-minutes of Royal duty?

How did she ever endure and survive such trauma? I hope she's practicing self-care on her journey to healing and will emerge from this ordeal stronger.

Namaste.

[quote]She used the phrase “moving meditation” twice – which, if I have translated from Californian fahrenheit to British celsius correctly, means anything you take yourself off to do rather than filing for divorce. Not that there is any suggestion that such thoughts ever cross her mind.

All this from the Guardian.

R6 Yeah. In the Bloomberg interview she talks about not having a voice in the royal family. That she could only wear neutral colours (which is such bullshit given the crap she's worn in the US).

I did laugh when she said that she felt trapped in the UK during the Queen's funeral. Like gurl, you could've gone back to the US at anytime. No one wanted you there. And of course she "wasn't well." Bitch, maybe a funeral isn't about you? I'm sure Queen Elizabeth's children and grandchildren just felt great during her funeral.

The reason why I laugh at her is because she's a total narcissist and she has nothing original. Cunt, you were in the role family for like what 5 minutes? And six years later you're still going on about it, when you're not talking about the soap commercial when you were 11 or something.

Even though she's completely ridiculous, I kind of admire her delusion, pretensions & willingness to do anything to be on TV. I wish they would make a reality TV show only sort of a Slums of Montecito in which she's hustling her crappy products all while Haz sits on the couch, playing video games & scratching his balls. The kids play in traffic just for fun

My favorite delusion for the Bloomsberg interview, her notion that 15 year old girls are going to be buying $15 jars of jam. She's totally made from the same copper as a Trump join in that she's completely delusional about herself and thinks her fans are idiots (which they are).

Also, I wonder if she is shitting herself with rag that Taylor Swift has clearly knocked her off any front pages...and the fact that William & Catherine liked Swift's post....because William and Swift are friends.

R31 I have no skin in this game, but wearing tights in Toronto in the winter is not the same as wearing pantyhose under a knee-length poly-blend skirt in the summer. It won't kill anyone--men have to wear long suit pants in the summer, but it's not comfortable.

by Anonymousreply 33August 29, 2025 10:45 PM

Pantyhose are considered very dated and old-lady-ish. People still wear tights. I haven’t see a woman in pantyhose in person for years. You might see it at a wedding or bar mitzvah on a women over 60.

R38 What did you expect from The Cunt of All Cunts who coined the term "Waity Katie" and falsely claimed that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip secretly referred to the Royal Family as The Firm (Rachel was most likely binge watching Succession when she came up with that lie)? An infuriating misconception that still persists to this day!

by Anonymousreply 47August 31, 2025 10:56 PM

R47 I am no fan of Mrs Sussex but in her defence - the term "Waity Katie" was in currency long before Kate and William were married, so, long before Meghan came on the scene. What she did do, which was unforgiveable, was to resurrect it in the Oprah interview under the guise of being sympathetic, which she wasn't - she put it out there when the term had long since died out.

The Royal Family has referred to themselves since the reign of George VI (1936 to 1952) as he coined it. This is well documented.

by Anonymousreply 73September 6, 2025 2:24 AM

Dramatic gesticulations, eyes looking away at anything or anywhere but the camera she couldn't connect with. Her speech is staccato and nervous, pressured and too rapid instead of flowing.

Why would any A list director want to work with an actress who won't listen and appears impervious to human emotions or interaction besides publicly working out her rapidly accrued resentments with the wealthy family she married into?

She wouldn't listen to fucking Ari Emmanuel who took her on as a client or the director of this piece (did she hire the person from the Archewell purse?) and, as a result, comes across as an amateur fool who allows an insect to crawl across her carefully curated plate?

She probably thought she was too sophisticated for Tyler Perry productions despite living in his L.A. mansion, servants included, on the free.

She's truly special in a way the UK couldn't ever "get" her. And now it's become painfully obvious that Hollywood and America also can't comprehend her specialness.

Poor Meghan's just not a competent person, in general, as she's horribly blinded by her narcisstic impulses. Nobody thinks Greta Gerwig or Christopher Nolan is going to call her up with an offer.

From this Netflix fart, are her "edible" products going to slide to Home Shopping Network? Her "emoting" ability is more suited to late night testimonials on HSN.

This sounds contradictory. I'm not sure what you're saying. That she has so much empathy bursting from her soul that she doesn't know how to express it to the people she so feels for? Or that she hasn't a clue about it and performs scripts that mimic empathy hoping people think she really cares about them? Secondary to the last point, that she's too shallow to experience genuine empathy for others. That's not "over-emphatic."

One minute she was saying that she goes out all the time with her girlfriends and Harry without being incognito because people in SB are sooooo nice. But in the next minute said that she wished she could go grocery shopping. She also claimed that she would like to take road trips and go back packing. Sure, Meg.
