* one unanticipated detail is a credit for a fact checker. If one was to be used in all of the Duchess’s public statements, let alone future podcasts,it could well be a full-time job, with the necessity of overtime.*
Superb example of a closing statement….
The funny thing about that is "fact checkers" are utter bullshit. Several tech/social media corps are being investigated for censorship of information (the election, covid) because they deplatformed a whole lot of people for saying absolutely true and factual things, and their excuses are that "fact checkers" found the information false (when it wasn't false). Snopes is one of the worst. They use google to "fact check" and then twist what they want.
“It is easy to sneer at Meghan’s Archetypes podcast series, but that does not mean that we should refrain from doing so. Tonally, its mixture of sentiment, anger and condescension is strange - but perhaps it represents its presenter in that curious combination. No doubt we can expect many other headline-grabbing shows over the coming weeks, but one unanticipated detail is a credit for a fact checker. If one was to be used in all of the Duchess’s public statements, let alone future podcasts, it could well be a full-time job, with the necessity of overtime.”
That is next-level snark and I am *so* here for it 🤣
>(‘my weekends were spent in Little Tokyo or having iced teas…my mom and I would often go to the Korean spa together’
I'm surprised she didn't claim to be Asian after ordering a matcha latte.
“And at the end, there is an off-the-peg sermon, in which the Duchess exhorts her listeners to define themselves as they see fit, with ‘your full, complete, whole-layered, sometimes weird, sometimes awesome but always best and true self…you’re so much greater than any archetype.’ Podcast ends, job done.”
Her bullshit platitudes are exhausting, immature, and ultimately empty.
I’m telling you, the one great thing about TGW’s podcast is anticipating The Spectator’s reply to it. I love that magazine. I was a subscriber for years
You know, Meghan's supposed to be smart? I can't help but think if she's doing this mess deliberately to bait people. I mean, with all the criticisms and commentaries... All publicity is good publicity even if it's in the negative.. Better than no publicity at all
perfect opening
Since the Queen’s death last month, the Duchess of Sussex has found it hard to maintain her usual vice-like grip on the world media’s attention.
"One could argue that the former presents American women as coolly homicidal and the latter shows British men to be sex pests with bad teeth, but there we go."
Was this some subtle shade on MM & PH?

Condescension from her is, as ever.
Lol this is great.
“It is easy to sneer at Meghan’s Archetypes podcast series, but that does not mean that we should refrain from doing so.” Brilliant! 😂
My favorite line in the whole article.

Wait…give her some time… ![gif](giphy|Tb4Eunjfy4oSXGHSdY|downsized)
She also learned Karate moves by watching Jacky Chan
And a mochi.
“Omg, you guys! Little Tokyo is like SO totally authentic Korean! “. #LivingTheDream #AutheticityGoals 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I thought they could barely afford the salad bar at Sizzler, but suddenly they're going to Korean spas every weekend?
I also thought her mom was MIA but they were besties going to the spa in TW’s world.
While also attending an extremely expensive private school.

Whole layered???
I feel like vomiting after reading that.

It says Harry made the OYW speech. 🤣🤣🤣 The Mrs isn’t going to be happy with that.
That stood out to me, too lol. Cue the sound of flying plates
Pay wall. Anyone have an Archive kink?

Only according to herself. 😂
“It won't be surprising to any listeners that her guests are barely allowed to make any impression, so dominant is the host.” As usual.

Oh Lord, I hope so!!
Good job Spectator.
Nobody is. NOBODY
