We&#8217;re almost at the stage where With Love, Vanessa has more views than <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" title=\"Meghan Markle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/meghan-markle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meghan<\/a>&#8216;s show and she got paid \u00a380million. I&#8217;ve been paid nil. I&#8217;m doing it with a piece of old string, Sellotape, some Hula Hoops and a Bag for Life.&#8221; Vanessa added: &#8220;It&#8217;s good-natured. I don&#8217;t name her. I&#8217;m not trying to insult her at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hosting in a pink gingham dress, Vanessa, 63, jokingly uses words that are favoured by Meghan, 43, such as &#8220;joyful&#8221; and &#8220;elevating&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having her own lunchtime show, Vanessa said that, instead of talking about Meghan&#8217;s show, she would recreate her own.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8220;I saw the first episode of With Love, Meghan and I thought, &#8216;Oh gosh.&#8217; Then I thought, &#8216;Instead of talking about it, I&#8217;ll just make one&#8217;.&#8221; Discussing Meghan&#8217;s decision to do a series, Vanessa gave a brutal four-word verdict, saying, &#8220;She&#8217;s definitely cashing in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sharing her thoughts on that, she added: &#8220;But is there anything wrong with that? I don&#8217;t think so, after all people don&#8217;t have to buy her expensive dresses or cashmere jumpers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of her opinion of Meghan, she added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t hate or despise her, I&#8217;m not one of her denigrators, but it&#8217;s as if no one explained, &#8216;You married <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/prince-harry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Harry<\/a>. You&#8217;re the Duchess of Sussex now, this means you&#8217;re in one of the most exalted positions on Earth. So you don&#8217;t need to do a show in which you put pretzels in a bag and tie a bow on it.&#8217; That&#8217;s the sort of thing you do when you&#8217;re not married to a prince of the realm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She claims that she believes Meghan misunderstood her role as a member of the Royal Family, adding: &#8220;Meghan didn&#8217;t seem to appreciate her own new place in the pecking order, which was so high that George and Amal Clooney \u2013 who clearly don&#8217;t know her \u2013 would come to the wedding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Claiming that Meghan&#8217;s new series makes her appear as a &#8220;ordinary jobbing celebrity&#8221; instead of a senior working royal, she added, &#8220;Instead she downgraded herself to being effectively an ordinary jobbing celebrity getting a mark-up on a pair of trousers and a pair of sandals, which is a bit reality TV, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British broadcasting legend Vanessa Feltz has given a brutal four-word verdict of Meghan Markle&#8216;s eight-part Netflix series, With&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[77,1281,5670,5671,451,16,15,5668,5672,5669,1737],"class_list":{"0":"post-8649","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-meghan-markle","10":"tag-meghan-markle-netflix","11":"tag-meghan-markle-series","12":"tag-netflix","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-vanessa-feltz","16":"tag-vanessa-feltz-youtube","17":"tag-with-love-meghan","18":"tag-youtube"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114314973243182046","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
