Overview

• The eight new episodes premiered August 26 and feature guests including Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Tan France, Samin Nosrat, David Chang, Christina Tosi, José Andrés and Clare Smyth.
• Meghan says she was "not well" after nearly three weeks away from her children, a period understood to align with the 2022 trip to the UK for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
• Major UK outlets deliver mostly two-star write-ups, calling the show contrived, tone-deaf and "marginally less mad but more needy" than season one.
• Prince Harry does not appear in person in the new season and is seen only in still photographs.
• The launch was paired with an As Ever product drop that added a marmalade, as some royal commentators say the palace is not paying the series much attention.
