Netflix described it as: “When Meghan’s friend Daniel Martin (anyone? No, seriously, who the hell is this guy?) comes to visit, she prepares a thoughtful guest basket, then harvests honey for DIY beeswax candles and a sweet treat.”
I guarantee you now – go up to a friend and tell them: “For Christmas I have made you a thoughtful guest basket.” It sounds sinister. The word “thoughtful” lingers like a heavy odour. There’s almost a hint of menace.
The description of the 36 minutes of horse-related fertiliser that is episode four sounds like a parody. Sadly it isn’t.
Entitled: ‘Love Is In The Details’, Netflix says: “Meghan and her polo pal Delfina Figueras enjoy a hike in the great outdoors, followed by an afternoon picnic featuring fresh, homemade focaccia.”
The defence rests M’Lud.
In another episode called ‘Welcome to the Party’ – surely ‘wake’ is more appropriate – US comedian and “fellow toddler mom” Mindy Kaling drops by Montecito “to help Meghan plan a kid-friendly tea party in the garden.”
Mindy puts her foot in it when she tells Meghan: “I don’t think anyone in the world knows that Meghan Markle has eaten Jack In the Box.”
