The Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, dropped earlier this year in March, and though its eight episodes largely failed to impress critics on either side of the Atlantic, the program very quickly made its way into the Netflix Top 10 in both the US and UK. Inevitably, then, a second season of With Love, Meghan was confirmed not long afterward. Now, said season has a release date, August 26, plus a new trailer, which the duchess shared on her Instagram Reels alongside the caption: “The best moments are made to be shared.”
The trailer, which is a typically starry affair—and set to a soundtrack of “Rockin’ Robin” by Bobby Day—gives viewers a glimpse into which guests she’ll be inviting on this season’s rendition of the cooking/gardening/hosting series. This time around, guests include Chrissy Teigen and Tan France; chefs Samin Nosrat, José Andrés, David Chang, Christina Tosi, and Clare Smyth; plus author Jay Shetty and chef and podcast host Radhi Devlukia. We also get a peek into Prince Harry’s dietary preferences. “You know who doesn’t like lobster? My husband,” says Markle, at one point, to which Chef Andrés responds, “And you married him anyway?”

In season one, Markle shared “some of her favorite tips and tricks for cooking, gardening, crafting, and more” while spending time with the likes of chef Roy Choi, actor, writer and director Mindy Kaling, and slow-food maven Alice Waters in the kitchen of a rented Montecito property. For season two, Michael Steed has stayed on as director—meaning that, aesthetically and tonally, the show will likely continue in the same polished vein (and, naturally, there will be many, many more puns).
With Love, Meghan is, of course, designed as a companion series to the Duchess’s As Ever products, which soft-launched earlier this year. “It is a line of products designed to make your everyday moments memories, to turn a basic breakfast into a beautiful snapshot of your life and to be kind to yourself and create a space for grace when it doesn’t all go according to plan,” she wrote in her newsletter at the time. “They say you have to break a lot of eggs to make an omelette—and that is true. Sometimes they fall, sometimes they crack, and sometimes you don’t have enough eggs at all—but I will tell you this much: No matter how many eggs break in the process, you can still end up with a pretty great omelette.”
Whether you find the series inane, totally comforting, or genuinely useful, With Love, Meghan is sure to be well-watched.
