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.

Prince Harry attends New York Summit, urges purpose over duty
Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at the NEXUS Global Summit in New York City on 27 June. The Duke of Sussex, now 40, addressed a room full of young philanthropists and impact investors. His message was simple but powerful: move from duty to purpose. Harry spoke candidly about his journey. 'I was born into a life of service. At first, it felt like something I had to do. Now, it's something I want to do,' he told the audience. He encouraged others to find their reasons for serving, not just to follow expectations, according to People . Harry highlighted the work of the Archewell Foundation, which he co-founded with his wife, Meghan Markle. 'Our mission is rooted in compassionate leadership,' he explained. 'It's about committing to something greater than ourselves.' The foundation's motto is clear: 'Show Up, Do Good.' He urged the audience to think about their legacies. 'Ask yourself what you want to leave behind. Align your actions and investments with that vision,' he said. Harry challenged the crowd to use their platforms for good. 'We need to care for each other and our children's future. Let's tackle the systems, not just the symptoms, that hold us back,' he said. The summit, which runs from 26 to 28 June, brings together 350 of the world's top young changemakers. Topics include mental health, technology for good, climate change, and impact investing. Many of these issues are close to Harry's heart. South Africa faces many challenges that Harry addressed. Issues like mental health, youth unemployment, and inequality are pressing here too. Prince Harry's message of moving from duty to purpose resonates with many, especially the younger generation. His call to 'tackle the systems' is particularly relevant. In South Africa, systemic issues often keep people from reaching their potential. Harry's words offer hope and direction. Prince Harry's wife, Meghan, also recently spoke at the TIME100 Summit in New York. She shared, 'I'm the happiest I've ever been. To have a partner and husband who is so supportive, and healthy kids who are so joyful. I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I do.' Harry and Meghan now live in California with their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. Their foundation, Archewell, continues to support projects around the world, including in Africa. Prince Harry's appearance in New York was unannounced, but his message was clear and timely. His story is a reminder that service can be a choice, not just a duty. Purpose can drive real change, both at home and abroad. WHAT DOES 'MOVING FROM DUTY TO PURPOSE' MEAN TO YOU?

The Vicious Campaign Against Meghan Markle Must End
When Meghan Markle posted a lighthearted video of herself dancing in a hospital room while nine months pregnant, she probably thought she was sharing a relatable moment that other mothers would appreciate. Instead, within hours, online trolls and conspiracy theorists weaponized it as "proof" she was never pregnant at all. This nightmare is what Meghan's life has become. Every joyful moment gets twisted into ammunition by people who've made destroying her their full-time job. And we need to talk about what this sustained cruelty has done to a woman whose only crime was falling in love with a prince. Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, speaks onstage during the 2025 TIME100 Summit at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 23, 2025, in New York City. Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, speaks onstage during the 2025 TIME100 Summit at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 23, 2025, in New York TIME The "moonbump" conspiracy, which claims Meghan faked both pregnancies with prosthetic bellies, represents a special kind of cruelty. Here's a woman who bravely shared her miscarriage story to help other women feel less alone in their grief. She opened up about one of the most painful experiences a person can endure, and how do these conspiracy theorists respond? By claiming her subsequent pregnancies were elaborate hoaxes. Imagine being nine months pregnant, your body aching, preparing to bring life into the world, and thousands of strangers are dissecting your every photo to "prove" your baby isn't real. Meghan revealed she was "the most trolled person in the entire world" in 2019 while pregnant with Archie. She's spoken about how the harassment drove her to thoughts of suicide. A pregnant woman was pushed to the edge of despair by people who found entertainment in her anguish. The recent dance video illuminates this persecution perfectly. Here's Meghan, trying to induce labor, sharing a funny, intimate moment millions of mothers can relate to. Within hours, it became Exhibit A in the conspiracy theorists' case against her. They zoomed in on her moving belly, claiming it proves she wore a prosthetic. They analyzed her IV line, suddenly becoming medical experts. They took a moment of joy and transformed it into a weapon. This isn't normal criticism. It's psychological torture designed to break someone's spirit. And the worst part? These aren't random acts of cruelty. They're coordinated, monetized, and amplified by people who profit from Meghan's pain. YouTube channels devoted entirely to "proving" Meghan's pregnancies were fake, generating millions of dollars. British tabloids have built entire business models around tearing Meghan apart, knowing that her name on a negative headline guarantees clicks and sales. Social media influencers discovered that attacking Meghan drives more engagement than any other content they produce. Hatred hasn't just become a business model; it's become an entire industry, with Meghan's suffering as its most profitable product. The online vitriol has translated into terrifying real world threats. Britain's former counterterrorism chief disclosed that Meghan faced "disgusting and very real" threats from far-right extremists during her time in the U.K. Security teams investigated numerous credible plots against her life. People have been prosecuted for threatening to kill her. While navigating motherhood as a new parent, Meghan simultaneously confronted vicious online conspiracy theories and lived under the shadow of genuine terrorist threats. Meghan once said the abuse was "almost unsurvivable." Think about that word: "almost." She survived, but barely. She got through it with therapy, with Harry's support, with sheer determination, but she shouldn't have had to survive anything. She should have been able to enjoy her pregnancies like any other woman. But the attacks don't stop with Meghan. Anyone who dares to publicly defend her becomes a target themselves. The message is clear: support Meghan Markle, and we'll come for you, too. The goal isn't just to hurt Meghan; it's to isolate her completely. They want her to look around and see no allies, no defenders, no one willing to brave the storm to stand with her. The social media platforms that host this hate bear responsibility. The tabloids that report on these conspiracies "for clicks" bear responsibility. But most of all, we as a society bear responsibility for allowing this cruelty to continue. Meghan Markle is a real person with real feelings who carried and delivered two real children. She's a mother who can't share her joy without it being weaponized against her. The moonbump conspiracy isn't just false. It's an act of sustained cruelty against someone who dared to join the royal family while being Black, American, and unwilling to suffer in silence. Somewhere tonight, Meghan might be looking at her children, the very children strangers claim don't exist, and wondering if she'll ever be free to share their milestones without unleashing a torrent of hate. These conspiracy theorists have participated in the theft of a mother's joy. If they can't find the conscience to stop this now, then we need to face the ugly truth about who we've become as a society. Because when a pregnant woman is tormented to the point of suicidal thoughts, when her pain becomes someone's profit and entertainment, a fundamental piece of our humanity has been lost, and that loss diminishes us all.

Meghan Markle Reveals Major Struggle: 'Not a Lot of Mixed Race Parts'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle has spoken about getting repeatedly rejected for acting roles during her early career because there were "not a lot of mixed race parts." The Duchess of Sussex said struggled to land "girl next door" roles that would often go to blonde actresses, and also suggested she did not have enough "edge" for characters that "had any sort of ethnicity." She made the comments as a guest on podcast Aspire with Emma Grede where she talked about not allowing "negative self talk" to impact her business ventures. The California-born star's father, Thomas Markle Sr. is caucasian, and her mother, Doria Ragland is African American. Meghan revealed in 2022 that a genealogy test had shown she was "forty-three percent Nigerian." Meghan Markle attends the TIME100 Summit, at Jazz at Lincoln Center, in New York City, on April 23, 2025. Meghan Markle attends the TIME100 Summit, at Jazz at Lincoln Center, in New York City, on April 23, TIME Why It Matters Meghan has spoken out about racial discrimination many times, including in relation to her experiences with the press and social media, and famously accused an unnamed royal of expressing "concerns" about the color of her unborn child's skin. However, she has less frequently spoken about racial barriers to her success as an actress. She did discuss the subject, though, in the period before her wedding to Prince Harry, in May 2018. What Meghan Told Emma Grede About Race and Acting Meghan said: "When I was an auditioning actress and this is well before Suits, you have to think at that time there were certainly not a lot of mixed race parts. "If I was going in for an audition it was either, you have to remember this was a very different time than it is now... it was 'girl next door' that was typically blonde haired, blue-eyed and a certain look. "But because I'm half white I would also be submitted for those roles and if it was a character that had any sort of ethnicity there was always a bit of a edge to those characters but I'd be submitted for those roles. "And I also... to a lot of people in casting, they thought I was Latina so I share that because, and I've shared this before, it was a numbers game. "If I'm only up for 10 parts that could be 10 no's but if I'm up for 30 parts because I can fit into so many different rooms that could be 30 no's. That is a lot to chip away at your self-esteem. That is really hard." Meghan Markle on 'Imposter Syndrome' Meghan now has a Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan, recently wrapped the first season of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founer, and has her online store, As Ever The 43-year-old said she still values the thick skin for rejection she developed as a struggling actress before she landed the role of Rachel Zane in Suits, which first aired in 2011. "I went through my chapter of self-doubt as an auditioning actor and beyond that," she said, "and when you're so consumed with what everyone around you thinks of you that can be a really hard way to live. "So I think as I've gotten older, certainly in my 40s, and as a mom you want to set the example for what your children are going to think about themselves. "And that you can't have an imposter syndrome around. You have to be so authentically the role model and the example of competence, self-forgiveness, kindness, fun all of those things. "You can't fake that. You want to model that for them. So all of that really shifted in the past six years of becoming a mom." Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.
