Los Angeles, CA – Meghan Markle has returned to Netflix with the second season of With Love, Meghan. The lifestyle series blends food, style, and celebrity appearances. Meghan shared a teaser with Queer Eye star Tan France, who joined her at home for a playful meal.
She also used the spotlight to highlight new products from her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The announcement included a restock of her popular “flower sprinkles” and a seasonal drop that adds fresh items to the growing brand. Meghan positioned the series and her brand as a way to bring joy, beauty, and playfulness into everyday life.
Season Two Launch
In our previous article, “Meghan Markle Shines in With Love, Meghan Season 2 on Netflix, “thestarmagazine already discussed the new season of With Love, Meghan, which premiered on August 26. The new season offers eight episodes, each about thirty minutes long. Viewers will see celebrity guests such as Chrissy Teigen, Jamie Kern Lima, Heather Dorak, and Daniel Martin. In one teaser, Meghan prepares a meal and adds her popular “flower sprinkles.” Tan France reacts with humor, calling it one of the funniest things he has heard.
The sprinkles sold out online at $15 a jar. Netflix promoted the clip with a caption about adding beauty to food. Meghan described the product as edible petals that act like confetti on a plate. She said they bring surprise and delight to meals. She also announced a new fruit spread and other seasonal products from As Ever.
Praise and Criticism
American viewers welcomed the first season of With Love, Meghan. The series climbed into Netflix’s Top 10, and Meghan thanked fans directly on social media. She told fans their support gave her the confidence to return with new episodes.
Season two drew a different response across the Atlantic. UK critics quickly dismissed the project after its release. The Guardian called it “boring” and “contrived,” noting the style felt forced rather than natural. The Times described the series as “irrelevant” and “intolerable,” suggesting Meghan appeared out of touch. The Telegraph went further and branded the program “tone-deaf.” The paper highlighted an episode on cocktails in Malibu that was oddly dedicated to wildfire victims.
The negative press did not ignore Meghan’s lighter side. Several reviewers admitted she showed charm when she dropped her perfectionist image. Critics noted moments when she laughed at herself and seemed more at ease. These rare glimpses showed a Meghan who felt less polished and more relatable.
Meghan’s Response
Meghan spoke about the backlash in an interview with Emily Chang. She said she knows her audience and trusts their support. She added that her Netflix partners also back the project, which gave her confidence to continue.
She pushed aside the harsh reviews with humor. “Are they saying negative things and then secretly going home and making single-skillet spaghetti? Possibly,” she joked. She said critics write to pay their bills, not to shape her work.
Meghan also pointed out that the show exists for viewers who enjoy light content. She said not every project needs to carry heavy themes or please every critic. She reminded fans that the purpose of With Love, Meghan is joy, creativity, and connection.
She linked her response to her broader work. She highlighted her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and spoke of new product launches that reflect the same values as the series. She also mentioned her focus on family life and charity projects with Prince Harry. These, she said, give her balance and perspective when criticism grows loud.
More Than a TV Show
Meghan has built more than a television project. She continues to expand her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The brand already sold out several items, and she now uses the show to connect her audience to her business.
Her charity work also remains active. She and Prince Harry lead projects that focus on family support, mental health, and community aid. Their efforts reach beyond entertainment and strengthen their public image.
The couple recently renewed their Netflix deal under new terms. Reports suggest the agreement is smaller than their first $100 million contract. The deal secures their spot on Netflix and limits risk for both sides.
Meghan now works across television, business, and philanthropy. Each part adds strength to the other and keeps her in the global spotlight.
