Bad taste TV should be toast

I'M SURE you'll all have watched the boring, lacklustre snooze-fest that is Meghan Markle’s attempt to be Martha Stewart Mark Two.

And you'll have seen her fail miserably. But what shocked me, apart from the very obvious fact she can’t cook (which is maybe why she talked to us like we can’t either), was the way she treated her so-called friends on With Love, Meghan — a show so devoid of love it felt ice-cold.

There was Dan the make-up artist who looked horribly uncomfortable throughout and who clearly saw it as his job (or had been told it was his job?) to big-up Meghan at every opportunity. He was positively orgasmic after tasting her jam and looked like he was going to faint with ecstasy having tasted her cake.

He then told her how wonderful she was and how she made people feel loved. And I couldn’t help thinking, she didn’t make the royal family feel very loved when they welcomed her with open arms — she trashed them and branded them racists.

Then there was her friend Mindy Kaling who she bollocked on screen because she dared to call her Meghan Markle, not Meghan Sussex. Only that’s not her name. Her married name is Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor. Yet she told poor Mindy: “I didn’t know how meaningful it would be but this is our family name, our little family name.”

But why is she so fond of the Sussex name? It’s a title given to her and Harry by the Queen and the institution of the monarchy, an institution she tried to destroy.
