90 minutes worth - includes Meghan answering questions eg will she write a memoir. Has anyone got the time to watch and recap? I can't get to it now.

I pride myself on helping people and taking one for the team as it were, but I honestly don't think I could endure more than 10 seconds of it. So I'm sorry, I can't go for that, no can do to quote Hall & Oates.

Besides I am too busy watching my cat chasing non-existent mice... 🐭

I only saw a short clip and had enough already:
She hopes that when Archie and Lili open these emails, 'maybe when they're 16, maybe when they're 18, they will feel 'she has loved us so much'.
Thats the point, as usual, its all about her and how much she needs to be loved and adored.
Such a bad actress, the tears and all.

Who did she copy that idea from, because she didn’t think of it herself. Maybe the children would benefit from knowing she loves them just now. Not finding out in 10 or 12 years.
 
I would think publicly stating you have a private email account filled with deeply personal memories and information about your children would not be something a famous person who is married to someone who was a repeated victim of phone hacking would want to do. It’s an announcement to cyber criminals of something valuable and an enticement for them to try to crack the accounts.

It would be a lot safer to either keep that information totally private or to store those memories in a more secure way.
 
The children are definitely being mentioned and photographed a lot more since her brand launched. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the right money was offered and we saw the whole family in Vogue in a few years.
 
Meghan very much seems to want to control how her life is and that of the people near her. Making for instance a book of memories over the years would be cute, sending a mail each day for them to read as teens seems controlling (a mail a day from 0 to 16 is almost 6000 mails...)
Can't help but wonder if the kids as teens will be allowed to, as teens usually do as part of their path in life, disagree with what their parents have planned their lives to be like, and want to follow their own path.
When they are 16 or 18, they may not even be interested in reading a whole mailbox full of old mails; with many people interest in the past only comes much later in life.

Perhaps, having been a third-tier Hollywood actress and immersed in melodramatic movies where deceased parents leave behind letters and gifts for their children to open in the future, she finds the idea romantic. (And just to be clear, I’m not cursing her or Harry with any premature death!)

Children feel loved by their mother, who is there, who puts them first, and who simply loves them. They don't need her to demonstrate it like this, by writing them emails for 16 years! And why did she reveal this extremely confidential information to the entire world, even before her children learned about it later?
It's mothers with terminal illnesses who write such touching letters.
What's wrong with this woman's mind?
 
I find the idea of leaving 16 years’ worth of emails to children quite strange, unless, of course, it’s in the tragic situation where the parents pass away too early.

My parents didn’t leave me any letters (they weren’t from the internet era), but I never once doubted how much they loved me. Parents don’t need letters to prove their love.

That said, it’s every parent’s choice how they wish to express their love, even if it means writing emails for 16 years.

What I find truly odd is that Meghan openly shared this plan, exposing a potential hacking risk to something meant to be so personal and private.

I'm probably off-topic, but I just read in the Telegraph that Meghan sent Jamie Kern Lima a gift, along with a card that read "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex."
Unless I'm mistaken, it seems to me that Meghan can't use the title "Royal Highness."

I thought the HRH was not to be used in business situations. If this is a personal gift and not a freebie from AS EVER, that might make a difference.

It seemed to me, however, that once the Sussexes had left their official duties within the British monarchy, they should never use this title again. Perhaps there is a difference between the private and professional spheres.

You could be correct , to be honest I thought it was business , but there has been so much said and printed over the past 5 years that I am really not sure now.
 
The agreement of January 18, 2020 did not distinguish between business and non-business use of their HRH titles.

The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.

A few weeks ago when Meghan posted the note she received from the Deputy Ukraine Prime Minister, all her fans defended her from accusations that she was using HRH by pointing out that she didn’t use it, the DPM did. And I agreed with that. (I thought it was tacky to post the note, but that’s a different matter.) This, however, is her blatantly using a style she’s no longer entitled to use. It shows such utter disregard for HLMTQ and the agreement they entered into.

I’ve never felt strongly about whether she and Harry should lose their titles, as I think Parliament has better things to do with its time and energy. But this honestly makes me feel like it’s time for Charles to strip them of their styles and remove the HRH permanently. It’s apparent that Meghan is testing the fences and she deserves to get zapped.

She is pushing the boundaries, I actually think she wants the titles removed so that they can play victim again.

Given every negative and nasty thing she has said and intimated over the years about members of the royal family, and the serious accusations she has stated publicly about the Royal institution as an entity, using the royal title should be anathema to her if she had any sense of self-honour and conviction in her opinions or knowledge. And yet, she continues to trade on her royal connection both socially and economically. "Oh, but she's entitled to use it" her supporters will say. Sure. However anyone who had any integrity would most certainly not use their married title, and furthermore, they would do everything in their power to forge and promote an image of self-made success. Sending a gift using her married title on the card, whether she's entitled to use it or not and whether it is a personal and not a commercial gesture, just perpetuates her public image of a woman eager to remind people of her status, and translates as smug and entitled. This is precisely why she is so disliked and struggles to gain much respect from the wider community. A very big misstep in my opinion.

Note, not a word about feeling that their Father has loved them simply for being themselves .
