One of my good friends who knows I disapprove of some of the Duchess of Sussex' past actions told me yesterday that she is watching the show and it's very fun and soothing. We have a friendly disaster about some of Harry and Meghan 's part choices but she's not a super fan of theirs. She says it's great partly because it's much more fun than watching our contentious, polarized news here right now. Escapism.
I can definitely see that
Here's hoping Meghan gets a lot of escapist watchers. As I said before, I think the best thing for everyone is this show being at least a mild success with Meghan getting the career and attention she craves, doing something that isn't hurtful to anyone, isn't strange (like the semi royal tours), and brings joy into people's lives.
I have to say, a lot of the criticism of the show seems ridiculous. Critics bringing up things now in the past that she, thank God, has stopped mentioning and complaining because she calls herself Mama in the third person ( a common American way for mothers to refer to themselves). I also saw a giant fuss because in a photo of Harry holding Lilibet (on Instagram ) the child did not have on a life vest. I'd assume that was a posed photo, probably not near real water, and not that the baby was in danger, pretty sure Harry knows how to handle himself and the children in and near water. Although maybe there are some that might not know the life belt rule that might look at the photo. In that case though, why not just give a general warning rather than attack?
I still don't like Meghan's past and some recent behavior (and some of Harry's) but I like to take each incident separately; this show has nothing to do with the Oprah interview (which changed me personally from a fan into a questioner), Harry's awful book (I then become a non-fan), the endless lawsuits, etc.
I hope this show will succeed.
And I don't care if she uses Sussex as her last name. As stated before, I get wanting the family to have same name.
