As you know by now, Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, officially dropped on March 4, and though its eight episodes largely failed to impress critics on either side of the Atlantic, the programme has already made its way into the Netflix Top 10 in both the US and UK. Perhaps inevitably, then, it’s been confirmed that With Love, Meghan will be back for season two, with production having wrapped on the next instalment. The Duchess of Sussex revealed the news with an Instagram Story of herself dancing in front of wisteria with the caption: “Lettuce romaine calm… or not (!).” While there’s currently little public information about what part two will entail, Michael Steed has stayed on as director—meaning that, aesthetically and tonally, the show will likely continue in the same polished vein. (Naturally, there will be many, many more puns.)
In season one, Meghan shared “some of her favourite 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. Many of her long-time friends and family, including her Suits costars, her mother Doria Ragland, and her wedding make-up artist Daniel Martin also made cameos—as did Harry, although he had a much smaller presence in the series than many anticipated, while Archie and Lili were entirely absent.
With Love, Meghan is, of course, designed as a companion series to the Duchess’s As Ever products, which soft-launched this week. Meghan gave a long-awaited overview of what fans could expect from the lifestyle line in a debut newsletter on Tuesday. “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. “For me, it all started with jars of preserves I was canning with fruit I picked from my garden. It began, quite literally, with something sweet – and through every twist and turn as a founder, it has become something even sweeter. 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.”
