After their highly publicized exit from royal life and move to the U.S., Meghan tried to reestablish herself in the media world. Her Netflix show, <em>With Love, Meghan<\/em>, returned for a second season on August 26, 2025, but the response has been disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>The show\u2019s ratings took a big hit. On Rotten Tomatoes, it scored just 20 percent, down from 38 percent in its first season. Audience ratings also dropped, hitting 27 percent from the previous 33 percent. Critics were harsh, calling the series \u201ccontrived\u201d and \u201cmeaningless.\u201d <em>The Guardian<\/em> said it was \u201cso painfully contrived that it\u2019s genuinely fascinating,\u201d while others claimed it felt like \u201ca series in search of a meaning, fronted by a woman in need of some cash.\u201d Social media viewers were equally critical, calling it \u201cboring,\u201d \u201cpretentious,\u201d and \u201cout of touch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even celebrity guests couldn\u2019t save the show. Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Tan France, Chef Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s, and entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima appeared on the season, but critics said the interactions felt overly scripted and forced. The show\u2019s star power didn\u2019t translate into authenticity or engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Meghan also tried to include personal stories from her life with Prince Harry, like him saying \u201cI love you\u201d first or being apart from their children during a 2022 UK visit. But these moments were overshadowed by the show\u2019s unclear focus. Critics said it wasn\u2019t clear whether the series aimed to be a cooking show, a lifestyle program, or a talk show.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix hasn\u2019t confirmed a third season, but a holiday special is planned for December 2025. With Meghan and Harry\u2019s first-look deal still active, more projects may come, but the steep drop in ratings suggests audiences are skeptical. Unless the format improves, the show\u2019s future may be uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>The second season shows that while Meghan\u2019s idea to blend food, wellness, and personal stories is clear, it hasn\u2019t connected with viewers, leaving the Duchess\u2019s Netflix path on shaky ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan Markle, who first gained fame as an actress on Suits, stepped into real-life royalty when she married Prince Harry,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":91360,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1588],"class_list":["post-91359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-meghan-markle"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
