"With Love, Meghan" isn't a sign-off, it turns out, it's an opening salvo.
Duchess Meghan's cooking and lifestyle show has been renewed for a second season, Netflix announced Friday, just days after it premiered. Not only will the program get a second act, but filming for Season Two has already wrapped, according to a release from the streaming giant.
The series, which blends a cooking show format with celebrity interviews, sees Meghan welcome guests to a replica of her Montecito, California estate and dole out tips on entertaining, baking and parenting.
Made in partnership with Archewell Productions, a company founded by Meghan and husband Prince Harry in 2020, the show also serves as a launching pad for As Ever, the Duchess' lifestyle brand.
In the first crop of episodes, Meghan invites over Mindy Kaling, Los Angeles Chef Roy Choi and skincare founder Vicky Tsai, among others to make potstickers, Korean fried chicken, a rainbow fruit plate for children's parties and several rounds of mimosas.
This is the royal couple's second project with Netflix, after "Harry & Meghan" a documentary taking a deeper look at their love story and royal exodus premiered in 2022. This project takes a lighter tone, seeing Meghan revel in the California lifestyle and share intimate moments from the pair's life there.
'This feels like a new chapter that I'm so excited that I get to share, and I've been able to learn from all of you,' Meghan says during the finale episode. 'So just thank you for the love and support. And here we go. There's a business!'
Meghan told People magazine in an interview published Monday that she sees 'this spark in (Harry's) eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me" in a reference to her former lifestyle blog The Tig, which she shuttered in 2017 after falling for Harry.
'It's almost like a honeymoon period again,' she said, 'because it's exactly how it was in the beginning when he'd watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits and just really being in the details of it. I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process.'

What is wrong with Norah from Netflix's Ginny & Georgia? I think I know
New episodes of Ginny & Georgia season 3 went online on Thursday and there is practically no adolescent issue that this mother-daughter dramedy hasn't covered. Losing your virginity? Check. Getting into a huge fight with your bestie? Yep. Getting drunk at a house party? Got that covered. Learning that your mom killed your stepdad? Also check. Okay, maybe that last one isn't so typical, but you get the idea. So it's no surprise that in season 3 of Ginny & Georgia, the Netflix hit is tackling that infamous coming-of-age milestone: periods. For the past two seasons, fans have watched high schooler Ginny and her core group of girlfriends, Max, Abby, and Norah try to survive Wellsbury High. In classic teen show fashion, every character has their own issues. Max is a girl-crazy drama queen (literally, she's an actor), Abby is struggling with body dysmorphia and bulimia, and now, in season 3, Norah's got period problems. Throughout the newest season, Norah is either on her period, waiting for it, or complaining about it. 'My period is so irregular, I can't even predict when it's going to happen,' she says in episode 6, right before getting all of her friends to take pregnancy tests with her. The very next episode, her pregnancy scare is forgotten, but her mysterious period ailments continue. 'My mom took me to the gynae, which was pointless because they just ask me a hundred different questions. And you don't know your family history when you're adopted.' (Yep, the show also has an adoption subplot.) The doctors ran tests, Norah explained, but still can't figure out what's going on. Well, I have a pretty good guess. I first got my period when I was 11, and for five years, when doctors asked me if my periods were heavy or irregular, I shrugged and said, 'No.' I didn't know any better. What I didn't tell my peadiatrician was that I was bleeding through super tampons and maxi pads, staining my PJs and sheets, and downing painkillers to deal with my period cramps. Despite having two sisters and a whole gaggle of girlfriends, I truly thought that my period was normal because I had learned to live with it. I never thought to compare notes. Then one morning during a particularly heavy period, I took a step out of bed and a blood clot flew out of my underwear and onto the carpet. I had bled through the super plus tampon I was wearing and my overnight maxi pad. The next time my doctor asked me if my periods were heavy, I finally said, 'Yes.' Unlike Norah, I was overweight, so my doctor already suspected I had a hormonal issue and sent me to an endocrinologist straight away. A few doctors appointments and 8 to 10 vials worth of blood tests later, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). It's a hormone disorder believed to be hereditary that can cause, among other things, excess facial hair, heavy or irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, and ovarian cysts. Some women don't have a lot of symptoms; others have all of the above. At the time, the criteria for PCOS was extremely vague, and the possible treatments were basically nonexistent. (In case you need a reminder: Women's health is underfunded, under-researched, and undervalued.) Effective medical treatments for PCOS are hard to come by. When I asked about next steps, my doctor shrugged their shoulders, gave me a prescription for birth control, and told me to lose weight (which, oh, by the way, is harder to do when you have PCOS). Over 15 years later, it seems not much has changed. At the end of the season, Norah's period mystery remains unsolved. She doesn't know why her periods are irregular or why she has bad cramps. And after years of just dealing with it, she seems resigned to just barreling through. I feel her pain. While I assume that she'll get a hard-fought diagnosis of either PCOS or endometriosis in season 4, it's also possible that she'll never get the answers she's looking for. Ask any woman with PCOS or endometriosis and they'll tell you it took years for them to even go to a doctor to discuss period pain, let alone be diagnosed. And that's partly due to the fact that many women just don't know that these conditions exist. Period pain is often dismissed, and uterus-related conversations are still taboo. Even in teen shows like Gilmore Girls or Gossip Girl, characters don't acknowledge their periods until there's a pregnancy scare plot. Young women like Norah might not learn about PCOS or endometriosis from their friends or their mothers or even their doctors—so I'm hoping that at least for some teens and tweens, Norah's storyline on Ginny & Georgia can fill in the gaps. And if a hormone disorder is the cause of her period problems, I hope she gets diagnosed faster than I did.

Donald and Melania Trump got boos, cheers at 'Les Mis' at Kennedy Center. See Trump approval ratings
President Donald Trump was met with mixed reactions on June 11 when he visited the Kennedy Center. The president and first lady Melania Trump attended "Les Misérables," an iconic Broadway musical about citizens rising up against their government. Trump never attended a Kennedy Center show during his first term, but he has waged a conservative takeover on the institution since returning to the White House earlier this year. As Trump appeared on the balcony, a cacophony of boos, cheers and claps broke out ahead of a "USA" chant, video posted on X (and in this story) shows. A mixed review is reflected in Trump's approval ratings, which remain historically low compared to other presidents at this point in their new administration, even though it has improved since his 100-day mark. Here is what to know: More: Does Musk still oppose the 'Big Beautiful Bill?' What we know after his apologetic post RealClearPolitics Poll Average shows the gap between Americans who approve of Trump's job and those who disapprove is largely leveling out after narrowing following his 100-day mark. Aggregated polls by the New York Times show a similar trend. As of Jan. 27, Trump received a +6.2 percentage point approval rating, but as of March 13, it flipped to slightly negative, the RealClearPolitics graphics shows, and widened over the following weeks until becoming the most negative on April 29 at -7.2 percentage points. His average approval rating margin as of June 12, according to RealClearPolitics, is -3.2 percentage points. The approval margin according to the New York Times aggregator on June 12 is -8 percentage points. A historical analysis by Gallup shows Trump's approval ratings in May in his first years in office − both as the 45th and 47th presidents − are lower than any other modern president at the same time in their administrations. Here is a closer look at some recent opinion polls on Trump's performance in office: Economist/YouGov poll: 52% of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling his job compared to 43% who approve. (Poll conducted June 6-9; 1,533 U.S. adult citizens; margin of error: plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.) In light of the epic fight with Trump and Elon Musk, more Republicans were more likely to side with Trump over Musk at 74% to 6%, respectively. Half of Americans overall said they did not side with either. Quinnipiac University: 38% of respondents approve of Trump's job performance compared to 54% who disapprove. (Poll conducted June 5-9; 1,265 self-identified registered voters; margin of error: plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.) More respondents disapproved of the major tax and domestic policy legislation under consideration in the Senate at 53% to 27%, with 20% not providing an opinion, Quinnipiac found. Morning Consult: 47% of respondents approved of Trump's job performance compared to 51% who disapproved (Poll conducted Jun 6-8; 1,867 registered U.S. voters; margin of error: plus or minus 2 percentage points.) Trump's approval rating on immigration is matching his second-term low at 51% of voters approving of how he's handling the issue. The poll was conducted as Trump battles California over protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.
