‘With Love, Meghan’ Season 2: Biggest takeaways from Meghan Markle’s second coming on Netflix

Meghan Markle has returned with a renewed dose of her best recipes, kitchen hacks, life lessons, and more, as the second season of With Love, Meghan begins streaming on Netflix Monday, August 26 — which coincidentally happens to be today.

Notably, the new season arrives shortly after the announcement of Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry’s new deal with Netflix, which includes a first-look agreement between the couple and the streaming giant.

As the Duchess of Sussex hosts new celebrity guests and friends at her Montecito residence, take a look at some of the most substantial conclusions from With Love, Meghan Season 2:

Not a family affair

While the Duke of Sussex made an appearance on the first season of the show, he is noticeably missing from his wife’s latest series.

Additionally, the couple’s two children – Archie and Lilibet – are not part of the new season either, likely due to their parents’ continued efforts to protect their privacy.

A sacred ‘ritual’

Meghan revealed in one of the new episodes that “the ritual of breakfast” is a “sacred time” for her family.

While describing what their typical breakfast spread looks like, she told celebrity guest Tan France, “Fried eggs and pancakes, but I like to do surprise pancakes for the kids, so I always put some ground flax seeds, pour some chia seeds in. And Lili will ask me, ‘Can I have chia seeds? I want it to have freckles’.”

Harry or Meghan: who said ‘I love you’ first?

Providing a bit of insight into her relationship with the Duke before marriage, the Duchess went into slight detail about the moment she knew her then boyfriend was ‘the one’, as well as who between the two was the first to confess their love.

“Yes. That was our third date,” she responded to Tan’s question about her feelings for Harry.

While her answer to the “I love you” question was the blushing statement, “He told me.”

What does Meghan Markle miss about the UK?

While the former actress does not bring up the royal family or her own past as a working royal on the show at all, she does open up about what she misses about the country where she got married.

Apparently, the answer is Magic Radio — a British digital radio station.

A tribute to California

The show paid special commemoration to California’s plight – Meghan’s current home – as the state was recently wrecked by wildfires.

“This episode, filmed in the heart of Malibu, is dedicated to the first responders and all those affected by the devastating fires that swept through communities across California in early 2025. With love, to all our neighbors,” reads the note which concludes the show’s seventh episode.

Meghan’s old job

The Duchess revealed that before she even became a professional actor, let alone her royal connections, she used to work as a hostess.

“I was a great hostess. It was a great job. The manager was like, ‘You want to be a waitress?’ And I was like, ‘I’m really good at hostessing. I understood my lane. So no, I’ll take less tips and do the only thing I’m really good at: Welcome!” said Meghan.
