Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is back on our screens, and she’s pulling back the curtain on her world like never before. Season 2 of her highly anticipated lifestyle show, “With Love, Meghan,” dropped on Netflix this Tuesday, inviting viewers into an intimate blend of cooking, DIY crafts, and surprisingly candid conversations with friends and celebrity guests. And let’s just say, the Duchess isn’t holding back – especially when it comes to her love story with Prince Harry.
The Botswana Spark: Love at First Camp
Fans have been eager for more glimpses into the royal couple’s romance, and Meghan certainly delivered. In episode 3, asked by “Queer Eye” star Tan France about the moment she realized she loved Harry, Meghan’s answer was disarmingly simple: “Yes. That was our third date.”
She then painted a vivid picture of their early days, recalling, “We met in Botswana and we camped for five days together. You really get to know somebody when you’re in a little tent together, and there’s like, ‘What is that outside the tent? What is that outside the tent? That’s an elephant. Are we gonna be safe? Yeah, you’re safe. Okay.’” It sounds like an adventure that could test any new romance, but for Harry and Meghan, it solidified their connection. And for those wondering who uttered those three little words first? A grinning Meghan revealed, “He told me.” Sweet!
From Royal Duties to Roasting Husbands (Playfully, Of Course)
Beyond the early days of their romance, it’s clear their relationship has evolved to a comfortable, humorous dynamic. In episode 8, while chatting with Spanish chef José Andrés, Meghan playfully revealed a surprising fact about her husband: he doesn’t like lobster. Chef Andrés’s hilarious, incredulous response — “No way. And you married him?” — was met with Meghan’s laughter, offering a genuine peek into their everyday, lighthearted banter. It’s a reminder that even royal relationships have their quirks.
Now settled in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, family life is clearly a huge part of Meghan’s world. While making aprons for her little ones on the show, she shared delightful insights, noting that “Lili loves pink” and affectionately describing Archie as “the most tender, sweet, adorable child of all time.”
Meghan’s joy in motherhood shines through, recounting a childhood story of using her allowance to buy a real diaper bag for her doll. “I always wanted to be a mom. I love it. It’s better than I even expected,” she added, a sentiment many parents can surely relate to.
Nostalgia for the UK and Audition Day Rituals
While her life is firmly rooted in the United States since she and Harry relocated in 2020 after officially stepping back from their royal duties, Meghan also took a moment to reflect on her past. In a touch of unexpected nostalgia, she confessed, “Honestly, one of the things I miss most about the UK is the radio station called ‘Magic.’” It’s a small detail that paints a relatable picture of missing the simple comforts of a former home.
Her acting days also got a nod, as Meghan recounted treating herself to an apple pie from a drive-through McDonald’s when an audition went well. And for anyone who’s ever faced performance anxiety, her relatable anecdote about audition nerves will hit home. She confessed to getting “so nervous” and “blotchy” on her chest during auditions that she “started auditioning in turtlenecks only,” as she shared with guest Chrissy Teigen in episode 2.
“With Love, Meghan” Season 2 offers a refreshing and intimate look at the Duchess of Sussex – not just as a royal figure, but as a wife, a mother, and a woman reflecting on her journey. From the wild landscapes of Botswana to the familiar comfort of her California home, Meghan is sharing her world, one candid conversation at a time. What are you waiting for? Head over to Netflix to catch all the heartwarming revelations!
