Overview

• Season 2 of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series premiered Aug. 26 on Netflix, continuing its cooking-and-crafting format with guests including Chrissy Teigen, Tan France, Jay Shetty and chefs José Andrés, Samin Nosrat, Clare Smyth, Christina Tosi and David Chang.
• UK outlets including The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times delivered largely negative notices, calling the show contrived and tone-deaf, while U.S. coverage spotlighted production touches and personal moments.
• On camera, Meghan recounts realizing she loved Prince Harry by their third date in Botswana, says he said “I love you” first, reflects on missing UK radio station Magic FM and describes being “not well” after nearly three weeks away from her children in 2022.
• Prince Harry and the couple’s children do not appear in person this season, with only photos or brief glimpses referenced by reviewers.
• The season’s launch coincides with an As Ever drop featuring new marmalade and restocks, and follows the Sussexes replacing their reported $100 million Netflix contract with a multi‑year first‑look deal.
