Guests and release date revealed for second season of Meghan's show
Netflix has released a trailer for season two of Meghan's lifestyle show – a day after she and her husband, Britain's Prince Harry, announced a watered-down deal with the streaming giant. The teaser, which Meghan also shared on her Instagram, revealed that the next instalment of "With Love, Meghan" will air in two weeks' time on 26 August. Among the celebrity guests joining the former "Suits" star during the eight episodes will be US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and "Queer Eye" star Tan France, as well as podcaster Jay Shetty and his cookbook author wife Radhi Devlukia. Also appearing will be chefs Samin Nosrat, Clare Smyth, Christina Tosi, José Andrés, and David Chang, and Meghan's close friends, Pilates instructor Heather Dorak and makeup artist Daniel Martin. The trailer, set to the soundtrack of Bobby Day's upbeat "Rockin' Robin," showed Meghan cooking, baking, and crafting with her celebrity friends and saying: "I love the idea of just spending time together... and finding new ways to show people you care." She adds, while shown wrapping a gift: "There are easy ways to show up, lovingly." Meghan, who is the Duchess of Sussex, also reveals that Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is not a fan of lobster. She tells Andrés as they prepare a dish together: "Do you know who doesn't like lobster? My husband," with the chef replying, prompting laughter from Meghan: "And you marry him?" On Monday, Harry and Meghan announced a "multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects," in contrast to their reported £76.5 million contract five years ago. PR and crisis expert Mark Borkowski described it as a "downgrade," and suggested Netflix was "pivoting away" from Harry and Meghan. Season one of "With Love, Meghan" was heavily criticised by critics. One review in The Guardian described it as a "gormless lifestyle filler" and "so pointless it might be the Sussexes' last TV show." The series has a 3.2 rating out of 10 on Netflix said at the time that the second season had already finished filming. The Duchess officially launched her lifestyle brand As Ever, in which Netflix is a partner, just hours after season one premiered in March. She has gone on to sell jam, pre-made baking mixes, herbal tea, and rosé wine – as well as flower sprinkles, which she heavily promoted during the programme and which are also seen being used in the new trailer. Netflix said "Meghan draws on her years of home cooking, entertaining, and all-around people pampering" for the Montecito-based show. The trailer shows Meghan embracing France, who tells her after unwrapping a gift: "That is actually giving me goosebumps. That is so lovely." Meghan is also filmed cutting a loaf of fresh bread and remarking: "Look at that." Andrés tells the Duchess everyone should have a Serrano ham holder at home, with an unsure Meghan replying: "You think so?" Shetty's appearance will raise speculation that Meghan could be a possible future guest on his popular "On Purpose" mental health podcast. Seemingly confronted with a basket of assorted flower sprinkles and dried fruit, Shetty is seen saying: "I have no idea where to start." Make-up entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima, who interviewed Meghan for her podcast and also appeared on the Duchess's "Confessions Of A Female Founder" series, also appears briefly in the trailer in a segment filmed outside. Teigen, who has a podcast called "Self-Conscious" and a cookware and baking brand, meanwhile, tells Meghan as they make tiny flower pendants: "Oh my gosh, I could do this every day," and later adds: "Little things like this make me so happy." Meghan is also pictured taking part in a pottery throwing lesson with long-time friend Dorak. Near the end of the one-minute-and-27-second trailer, Meghan says: "I love these moments of discovery and beauty. So let's be curious together." —PA Media/dpa

Meghan Markle Drops Season 2 Trailer For 'With Love, Meghan' — Here Are All The Subtle Details You Missed
The wait is finally over! Meghan Markle has finally given fans a much-anticipated first glimpse into season two of her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex released the trailer on Tuesday, August 12, revealing not just the premiere date – Tuesday, August 26 – but also a star-studded guest lineup. Taking to Instagram, Markle shared the exciting news with the caption, 'The best moments are made to be shared ✨ With Love, Meghan returns August 26th on @netflix.' While season one charmed us with appearances from the brilliant Mindy Kaling, makeup maestro Daniel Martin, and culinary legends Roy Choi and Alice Waters, season two is stepping things up in the best possible way. The sophomore season's roster includes the wonderfully candid Chrissy Teigen, style guru Tan France, and some of the most celebrated names in the culinary world including José Andrés, David Chang, Samin Nosrat, Christina Tosi, and Clare Smyth. But it's not just about the food and edible flowers – though let's be real, that's a major draw. The season also welcomes cultural influencers Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia, plus Markle's close friend Heather Dorak, founder of Pilates Platinum. We'll also see the return of Daniel Martin, her longtime friend and makeup artist, alongside IT Cosmetics founder, Jamie Kern Lima, who hosted Markle for her first podcast guest appearance earlier this year. 'I've been fortunate to have the people that I want on the show,' the Suits star shared at April's TIME100 Summit, and that genuine excitement is palpable. 'I've been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup.' The trailer itself is pure joy, set to the upbeat 'Rockin' Robin' by Bobby Day. We see Markle in her element – cooking, crafting, and creating. 'I could do this every day,' Teigen remarks at one point. 'Let's get creative and learn something new,' Markle says in voiceover, perfectly capturing the spirit of what makes this show special. Perhaps the most endearing moment of the trailer, however, comes when Markle playfully reveals, 'You know who doesn't like lobster? My husband.' Chef Andrés' response is perfect: 'And you married him anyway?' While the show wasn't filmed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's actual Montecito home, due to security concerns, Markle revealed to PEOPLE that the couple's children have played a special part in the production. 'Archie did the [filming clapboard]! Sweet moments,' she shared. 'They would also come with my husband and visit me on set. I loved that my children were able to watch me working and see the balance of that, and understand what Mama does and is working to create and share. It was really special because up until then, they hadn't seen me at work.' With Love, Meghan season two will be released on Netflix on August 26.

Meghan Markle's first look at With Love, Meghan season two divides fans - as Netflix signs 'downgraded' Sussex deal
Meghan Markle has dropped the trailer for season two of her Netflix cooking show- and it's already splitting the internet with glowing praise and biting criticism. The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex posted a sneak peek on Instagram on Wednesday, ahead of the show's August 26 return to Netflix. "The best moments are made to be shared," Meghan captioned the clip, which was also shared by the streaming giant. In the trailer, a giggling Meghan asks the camera: "Do you wanna put music on?" Moments later, a record player spins the 1950s hit Rockin' Robin by Bobby Day, soundtracking a montage of the former actress painting, chopping vegetables, tying ribbons and spreading honey (likely self-harvested) on toast. Her guest list includes world-renowned chefs, TV personalities and spiritual leaders, including: José Andrés, David Chang, Heather Dorak, Tan France, Daniel Martin, Samin Nosrat, Jay Shetty, Radhi Devlukia, Clare Smyth, Chrissy Teigen, Jamie Kern Lima and Christina Tosi. "I love the idea of spending time together, and finding new ways to show people you care," Meghan says in a voice-over. "Let's get creative and learn something new. I love these moments of discovery and beauty." The teaser also features a playful exchange about Prince Harry's taste buds. "You know who doesn't like lobster? My husband," Meghan told celebrity chef Andrés. "And you married him?" he responded, prompting her to laugh. The eight-episode season is believed to have been filmed directly after season one wrapped. The debut season, released in March, featured guests including chef Roy Choi, Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and Argentine socialite Delfina Figueras, wife of polo player Nacho Figueras. In a memorable moment during season one, the Duchess famously reprimanded actress Mindy Kaling for not addressing her by her correct last name, Sussex. Already, fans have swarmed social media, sharing their excitement for the new season and the new lineup of celebrity guests. "Sooo excited about these guests!!! Can't wait!!" one fan commented, gaining over 200 likes at time of writing. "I'm super EXCITED to watch With Love Meghan's second season. The first season was entertaining feel-good content and season 2 looks just as engaging, fun, and wholesome. Way to go, Meghan," another said. "Finally!!!!! I'm so excited. I love her. She has the aura I imagine, she's so soft & humble," wrote a third, while a fourth commented: "That trailer is pure awesomeness! The Princess is back!" Even Meghan's celebrity friends jumped in the comments section, with Kern Lima writing: "Such a fun day and honored to be part of it!!!" and Shetty chiming in: "Such a fun day." American actress Kerry Washington said: "So excited" with a love heart emoji, and YouTuber Patricia Rammos said: "Go, Meghan." Unfortunately for the Duchess, not all comments were positive, with one user asking Netflix: "Oh my god you didn't cancel this disaster?? while another simply said: "No thank you!" "I can't wait for the parodies haha," a third wrote, while a fourth commented: "Stop making meghan happen. She is not going to happen." The season two preview comes just two days after the Sussexes confirmed they had signed a new multi-year "first-look" deal with Netflix for film and television projects- a significantly smaller arrangement than their original five-year contract, reportedly worth $100 million, signed in 2020. A source told The New York Times the new deal is worth far less, while public relations expert Mark Borkowski told The Telegraph the move signalled a "downgrade" and suggested Netflix was "pivoting away" from the couple. In a statement, Meghan said she and Harry were "proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand". "My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision," she said. Netflix has also announced a new holiday special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, set to stream in December. The Montecito-based episode will see Meghan's friends- likely more celebrities- and family "deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs' with tips for viewers to try at home. In December last year, Meghan told Marie Claire she "loves the holiday" and that it "gets better every year" as her children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, three, grow older- adding that "being close to my mum is great" referring to Doria Ragland, who also lives in California. The last known time the Sussexes celebrated Christmas with Harry's family was in 2018, two years before they stepped down as working royals and moved to the US.
