Is Chrissy Teigen Joining Meghan Markle on Season 2 of Netflix's With Love, Meghan? Here's What to Know
Chrissy Teigen will be featured in the second season of Meghan Markle's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. PEOPLE confirmed the news after it was first reported by the Daily Mail. The new season of the lifestyle series will premiere this fall. Teigen is known as a model, cookbook author, and host of the podcast Self-Conscious. She joins the Duchess of Sussex for the upcoming season, which Meghan describes as a 'love letter' to the things she cares about most. Chrissy Teigen was among the first to receive a jar of jam from Meghan's lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, earlier in 2024. At the time, Teigen praised the product, saying it "might have been one of the best bites we've had all year." Meghan later renamed the brand to As Ever, which launched its first collection of food products earlier this year. The collection sold out on its debut day. Season 2 of With Love, Meghan has already been filmed and will include a new group of Meghan's friends and collaborators. Michael Steed, who directed the first season, also returns for the second season. Meghan told PEOPLE that the show is about "doing what you can do, and doing it with love." Chef José Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen, will also appear in the new season. Meghan revealed the news during her appearance at the TIME100 Summit on April 23 in New York City. "We love José so much," she said. "Having him on the show…we haven't revealed everything about season two, and that'll come through later." Season 1 of With Love, Meghan debuted on Netflix on March 4 and quickly gained popularity. It climbed to number seven on Netflix's Top 10 shows chart in the U.K. and number ten in the U.S. Meghan hosted several well-known guests in season one, including Mindy Kaling, Abigail Spencer, and chef Alice Waters. She also connected with chefs and entrepreneurs such as Roy Choi. "I've been really lucky. We have a great, great lineup," Meghan said about the new season. With Love, Meghan remains her first solo project for Netflix and continues to showcase the people, places, and ideas she loves most.

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Have Back-to-Back TIME100 Moments
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have both been shouted out by magazine Princess Kate, 43, was named to the TIME100 Health list in a citation praising her public announcement about undergoing treatment for cancer last year The Duchess of Sussex, 43, graced the stage at the TIME100 Summit in N.Y.C. on April 23 about her entrepreneurial endeavors and private life with Prince Harry Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are being highlighted by TIME just a few days apart. On May 8, TIME named Princess Kate, 43, to its second annual TIME100 Health list, which recognizes the 100 most influential people in the world of health today. The Princess of Wales was included within the list's "Catalyst" group for publicly announcing in March 2024 that she was undergoing cancer treatment and drawing global awareness to the disease. The magazine unveiled the TIME100 Health list two weeks after the Duchess of Sussex, 43, spoke on stage at the TIME100 Summit in New York City about her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, lifestyle brand As ever and podcast Confessions of a Female Founder. Meghan and Prince Harry were previously on the cover of TIME for their inclusion in its Most Influential People list in 2021, and he joined her at the April 23 summit. The 2025 TIME100 Health list also included Melinda French Gates, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Colin Farrell, Seth Rogen, Dwayne Wade and Ilona Maher, among many others. TIME praised Princess Kate's candor in sharing that she was receiving cancer treatment in a video issued in March 2024, smashing past precedent around the palace's tight-lipped approach to medical information, and commended how she reduced her royal duties to focus on her health. "As a popular public figure, Middleton's revelation brought significant attention to cancer awareness and treatment, including the rise in early-onset cancers in patients under age 50," the TIME tribute said. "Her decision to focus on her recovery by taking nine months away from public duties also reignited conversations about the importance of self-care and strong support networks that can ease healing and speed the return to normal activities." The citation said that the princess "became a beacon for cancer patients, and inspired others to address their own health," and recapped how she updated the public in September about completing chemotherapy with a direct message for other patients. "To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey — I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand," Princess Kate said in the intimate video released then, which followed her exploring the outdoors with Prince William and their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. "Out of darkness can come light, so let that light shine through." In January, the Princess of Wales announced that she was in remission after a surprise stop at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London. The outing came with the confirmation that she previously received treatment there and became a patron of the medical center with Prince William, 42. The royal family was rocked by another cancer diagnosis last year as the palace announced in February 2024 that King Charles was receiving treatment for cancer, which continues into this year. Kate graces the TIME100 Health list just two weeks after Meghan spoke at the magazine's signature summit in N.Y.C. There, she spoke about her mental health (revealing, "I tune out the noise"), shared her shock at that As ever's inaugural product drop sold out in 45 minutes and said her "confession" is that she is in a wonderful place today. "A confession for you today that I can very comfortably say is that I'm the happiest I've ever been," the Duchess of Sussex said when Jessica Sibley, the Chief Executive Officer of TIME, asked her to share a "confession" as inspired by the title of her new Lemonada Media podcast. "To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful… I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do," Meghan said about her private life with Harry and their kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 3. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! A distance continues between Prince Harry and Prince William, and a friend of Harry's previously told PEOPLE that his calls to his father, the King, go unanswered amid an ongoing rift. In a bombshell interview last week with the BBC after a judge dismissed his legal appeal to restore the automatic security he argues was unfairly stripped when he and Meghan stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, Prince Harry said that King Charles is still not speaking to him. "Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile," Prince Harry said.

Meghan Markle has a subtle response to Prince Harry losing bid for UK security
Meghan Markle has family on her mind after Prince Harry lost his appeal to regain taxpayer-funded security in the UK. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted a photo on Instagram Saturday of Harry, 40, with their son Prince Archie, 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3. 9 Meghan Markle at the 2025 TIME100 Summit. Getty Images for TIME The black-and-white image depicted Harry and his kids with their backs to the camera. Harry walked beside Archie and held his hand while Lilibet sat on his shoulders. They appeared to be in the garden of their Montecito, Calif. home. Markle didn't include a caption with her post. She also had the comments turned off. 9 Meghan Markle's photo of Prince Harry and their kids.

The 'Spare' author and his wife stepped back from their royal duties and moved to America in 2020. London's High Court ruled to strip the Sussexes of taxpayer-funded UK security protection in Feb. 2024. Following the latest ruling, Harry— who attended the hearing in England last month — told the BBC that he was 'devastated' by the court's decision. 9 Prince Harry in his BBC interview.

'Everybody knew that they were putting us at risk in 2020 and they hoped that me knowing that risk would force us to come back.' 'But then when you realize that didn't work, do you not want to keep us safe?' Harry questioned.

'I miss the UK, I miss parts of the UK, of course I do. I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland.' 9 Meghan Markle with her daughter Lilibet.

'But it would be nice to reconcile.'

Sad truth behind smiling Meghan and Harry snaps
Meghan is happy. Did you hear? 1470 days after the Duchess of Sussex ceremonially burnt her last pair of nude hose in a 55-gallon drum in a Windsor wood, the former actress-turned jobbing HRH-turned palace whistleblower is the 'happiest' she's ever been. I knew you'd be relieved. It's a good thing that the 43-year-old is high on life and good vibes and the matcha hit has really kicked in because peel back the label and look inside the tin and things are not quite so peachy. Earlier this week, she and husband Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex (demonstrating he is still the gold standard in Devoted Husbanding stakes) were in New York where she spoke at the TIME100 Summit and talked about her current jubilant state. In photos, the duchess does not appear to have a care in the world beyond which Soho eatery would be getting the privilege of serving her a burrata starter and then shuffling her out a side door later that night to dodge the paps. But these latest shots of the Sussexes do not tell the full story about how their US lives are going. Far from it. In the last week alone, the Duchess of Sussex has been accused of 'ripping off' an author and had her new podcast fall out of Spotify's top 100 list, travails stressful enough to really put even the strongest aura-clearing, high frequency vibrational mantra to the test. These are just the latest in controversies to hit the former Suits star in the first three months of this which has already seen she and Harry face a scalding backlash for their volunteering during the LA fires, her shuttering her American Riviera Orchard brand without it ever having sold a thing, withering reviews of her new TV series, and with a bombshell Vanity Fair report which revived the bullying allegations that have swirled around her for years. It's a bit mind-melding to consider that only a few years ago, the duchess could not move, blink or enunciate a three-syllable word without the world's press immediately stopping what they were doing – reporting on the war in Ukraine, covering the never-ending tide of floods and Armageddon-adjacent bushfires – to frantically tap out a breaking news story. And now? The duchess is making money selling 'flower sprinkles' and can't get anyone even remotely jazzed about her new podcast, while the duke is busy egging on his lawyers to slog it out in London courts as they count billable hours and he has to jump on a call about a charity blow up. The Sussexes gratitude journaling must be harder than ever. The latest Meghan hit came last weekend when British children's author Mel Elliott revealed to the Daily Mail she had sent the duchess a legal letter over her greenlit, then cancelled Netflix project Pearl, saying 'the similarities were too great for me to ignore'. There is her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, even the title of which feels like it's peddling a dated, 2010s you-go-girl-ism, the critical enthusiasm for which rank somewhere between those of Spam-flavoured crisps and chronic reflux. The Guardian gave it two stars and said the 'vibe' between Meghan and her guests was 'predictably fawning' while the Financial Times labelled it 'earnest sycophancy and psychobabble'. So far the series has failed to set ears aflame with her and her guests' insights into entrepreneurialism having failed to even remotely penetrate the internet's consciousness with the eight-parter having all the sizzle of a sweating bain marie hot dog at 11am. In its first week, Confessions managed to squeak into tenth position on Spotify's most listened to charts that week before disappearing sans trace. As of last weekend it had slid out of the streamer's top 100. Also working it's way through the Montecito pipeline is the second serving of her lifestyle-y, kinda cooking show With Love, Meghan, offering us new and exciting ways to take products from the shop and put them in dinky hessian bags to hand out to our friends when they sleep on our sofas for the night. With Love did do some decent streaming numbers – it's debut episode just making it across the line into the top 10 list globally – however the full picture is that Netflix shot both lots of the show back-to-back last year and given they had already outlayed all that cash to rent a $12.5 million farmhouse with its own extensive kale patch, were they ever really going to bin it? Hang on, you say. There's the jam! In early April, the duchess' long-awaited lifestyle line, now renamed As Ev er, finally landed with products, including $21.99 'raspberry spread' and $43.99 limited edition wildflower honey, selling out in an hour. (The reviews for the spread, it should be noted, were largely glowing.) Here's the question though – how will As Ever fair once the novelty factor has been fully eked out? What happens once every entertainment editor between Boise and Berlin is done using the company credit card to buy a jar of raspberry preserves for story purposes? The Duchess of Sussex would need to sell more than 34,000 jars of preserves every year to pay the couple's mortgage alone, based on estimates. But enough with the bean counting and streaming numbers. What is just a bit wild is that in only four years the Sussexes have gone from the White House feeling the need to officially comment on their Oprah Winfrey interview to the couple only making news when say the duchess gets the idea for a new marmalade diffusion line or the duke is being referred to as the plaintiff. Harry once had the pull to get presidents on the blower and now seems, aside from his Invictus Games, in desperate need of a purpose; Meghan went from interviewing Michelle Obama and guest-editing Vogue to saying that her jam business is 'an extension of my essence'. But happiness is subjective and these days no one can tell the Sussexes what to day, do, wear or how many appetisers to order for the table tonight. Bring on the Barolo and let's hope there really is a burgeoning US flower sprinkle market.
