The trailer for Season 2 of Meghan Markle's Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, has generated considerable buzz, especially surrounding a moment some viewers interpret as a playful jab at her husband, Prince Harry. The new season is set to premiere on August 26th.
The trailer showcases Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, engaging in various activities such as cooking, crafting, and pottery, alongside a star-studded lineup of guests. Celebrity appearances include Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, and Jay Shetty, along with renowned chefs José Andrés, David Chang, Samin Nosrat, Christina Tosi, and Clare Smyth. The Duchess also welcomes back familiar faces like Daniel Martin, her longtime friend and makeup artist, and Jamie Kern Lima.
The moment sparking the most discussion occurs when Meghan reveals Prince Harry's dislike for lobster. Chef José Andrés responds with a lighthearted quip: "And you married him anyway?". This exchange has led some to believe Markle was making a subtle, humorous dig at her husband's culinary preferences.
The series was filmed in a Montecito location, not the actual home shared by Meghan and Prince Harry, to protect their family life. Meghan explained that she wanted to keep their home a "safe haven" for their children, Archie and Lilibet. Despite not filming at their residence, Meghan shared that Archie had a special role, operating the filming clapboard, and that her children would visit her on set with Prince Harry.
With Love, Meghan has drawn mixed reactions. Some viewers appreciate its escapism and the creative activities presented. Others have criticized the show's themes as "out of touch". Some critics have described the show as "gormless lifestyle filler". The first season of With Love, Meghan garnered 5.3 million views in the first half of 2025, becoming Netflix's most-watched culinary show since its release. In contrast, the trailer for season two has received a mixed response on social media, with some viewers expressing negativity towards the Duchess and the show's concept.
The release of the Season 2 trailer comes on the heels of the announcement that Meghan and Prince Harry have extended their partnership with Netflix through Archewell Productions. The new deal is a multi-year, first-look agreement for film and television projects. This updated arrangement is reportedly less exclusive than their original 2020 deal. Alongside the new season of With Love, Meghan, the couple and the streaming service are planning a holiday special set to premiere in December.
