Yeah, I'm not really buying it, as it still doesn't attack the core of the argument: that there's no actual inconsistency between wanting to tell your own tale (in whatever format) and not have some cunt grubbing through your bins to find out what biscuits you eat, and pretending there's an equivalence is bollocks. To complain about his methodology whilst ignoring exactly how much shit has been leaked and slipped against him and her isn't really cricket, either. Frankly, were it my wife, I'd be on the same path and fuck the lot of them.

[The Weeping Angel]

I never said there was an equivalence.

[MisterMuncher]

The South Park metaphor quite clearly implies it. The argument is the same one the Mail et al have been running with, that if their privacy is so important to them, then why are they doing stuff in the media? Lazy and stupid, and I'm fairly sure you're neither.

What a cushty life.

[Abernathy]

Poor Princess Kate. Who could have guessed she finds walking so hard?

[Malcolm Armsteen]

It's not the walking, it's the walking and chewing gum at the same time.

[The Weeping Angel]

Chris this sounds just awful.

Or, indeed, her viewers, who find themselves at the deflating juncture where we can finally judge to our heart’s content the contemporary curio that is With Love, Meghan. Do we really need to though? Gazillions of words, many of them predictably hateful, have already been spewed on what it is actually about, based on the two-minute trailer alone. Is Meghan the ultimate tradwife? A domestic goddess in the wink-wink Nigella vein (if only!)? A fake flaunting her wealth? Is it a cynical money-making exercise (Netflix reportedly paid the Sussexes £78m for their overall deal)? A right-on sister who genuinely cares about diversity? An estranged royal suffering from an incurable case of earnestness? Or, as the New York Times dubbed her, is she “the millennial Martha Stewart of Montecito”?

Having watched the whole damn thing, I can confirm that I haven’t got the foggiest. But I do know that the duchess loves lemon zesting. And that she keeps flaxseeds, chia seeds and hemp hearts on her counter so she can dust her kids’ pancakes willy-nilly. And that she’s got impressive knife skills. And refers to herself as “Meg’” on the labels she ties around her mason jars, which are filled with whatever surprising moments she happens to be elevating. And that all those years slumming it as a freelance calligrapher have really paid off – her handwriting is lovely.

But forgot to ask what it was they could do. Meghan isn’t a bad TV actor and Harry should have stuck with the army as a mid ranking officer in a comms desk role.

Am I supposed to care? I'm not going to like them just because the tabloids hate them, and I'm not going to hate them just because they're doing what thousands of other celebrities would do, given the chance. I can't bring myself to have any interest in this at all.

What I don't get is why the Guardian has wasted time reviewing the show. It is not being shown on mainstream TV over here. It is a niche show aimed at a niche market. If it is not your cup of tea then don't watch it. If somebody asked me to write a review of a show like 'Love Island' it would definitely be a one star review and I would slag the show off because I see such shows as utterly pointless.

Republicans get to sneer at royals. Royalists get to sneer at those ungrateful bastards. Racists and sexists get to sneer at a mixed race woman. Snobs get to sneer at a social climber.

Something for everyone. Besides, journalists stick together at the most basic level. You never know where you might be working next, and whatever your position in the game, they tried to break the game altogether.

Then why haven't Channel 4 picked it up?
