Forget tiaras and royal protocols. With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series which released earlier this year, has peeled back the layers of public perception and offered a glimpse into the life that Meghan's friends and family know. With season 2 of the show premiering on August 26, 2025 with an eight episode run, the lifestyle series has proved that it isn't just about cooking, gardening, and entertaining—it's an invitation into Meghan's world; one that's filled with warmth, connection, and a touch of Hollywood glamour. Blending culinary inspiration with heartfelt conversations, it showcases her passion for creating memorable moments and glimpses into her life. Filmed in Montecito, California, the show offers a personal look inside the Duchess's life.

Season 2 trailer highlights

In the trailer, Meghan revealed to chef José Andrés, "You know who doesn't like lobster? My husband," on Prince Harry's food habits. "And you married him anyway?" Andrés joked, prompting a laugh from the Duchess. On her family's dietary preferences, she further shared, "My husband and Archie both love fried eggs. There’s a lot of bacon around here, and then sometimes, you don’t have time for all that, and you just put a frozen waffle in the toaster and call it a day and there’s no shame in that either."

The trailer for this season also shows Meghan stepping outside the kitchen to try her hand at pottery, put brush to canvas, visit the market for fresh produce, decorate with fresh flowers and toast marshmallows around a bonfire.

The As Ever Lifestyle Brand

The series premiere also coincided with another exciting venture for Meghan, the launch of her new lifestyle brand 'As Ever'. Previously named 'American Riviera Orchard', Meghan rebranded it, saying that the "'word salad' (of the previous name) was no longer a good fit", which prompted a meaningful name. As Ever features a range of food and hospitality products, including raspberry spread, wildflower honey, herbal tea and crepe mix. Earlier this month in line with Meghan's birthday on August 5, 2025, the brand launched its first wine, the 2024 Napa Valley Rosé, which featured notes of stone fruit with a mineral base. They have teased a sparkling Napa Valley Méthode Champenoise and other wine varietals in the future. Reflecting Meghan's passion for thoughtful living, it weaves her love of food, gardening and entertaining.
