The second season of ‘With Love, Meghan‘ received dismal ratings, as streaming giant Netflix released its engagement ratings for the second half of 2025. The report states it was the 1,224th most-watched programme on Netflix between July and December 2025.
The hour-long holiday special, ‘With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration’, which showcased the Duchess of Sussex crafting and wrapping presents, was also not as well-received, ranking 1,022nd overall. Former BBC royal correspondent issued a word of advice for Meghan Markle: “I think it just goes to prove that making a successful TV series is not as easy as she might have thought. No doubt people tuned into the first series out of curiosity to see what she had to offer, and I think the show was fine as far as it went.”
Ms Bond also believes the lifestyle show market is saturated. As reported in the Mirror, she added: “Cooking, chatting, style tips etc are commonplace on social media, as well as on TV. There was nothing original about the show and, although Meghan was perfectly pleasant as a presenter, she didn’t really have anything unique to offer, beyond the fact that she’s married to a prince (who hardly appeared).
“It didn’t help that it wasn’t even filmed in their own home, so viewers couldn’t get a peek behind the scenes of their domestic life.’
Meghan’s As Ever brand has prompted mixed reactions from royal fans and commentators alike, as she has focused on selling a range of consumer goods, including candles, tea, honey, and jam.
The most recent criticism came with a brand drop to coincide with Valentine’s Day, as many fans have alluded to the release just being a new restock of her existing products.
One wrote: “Meghan Markle wants you to know THIS is her Valentine’s Day collection. Nothing else. This is her at her best. She had a year to curate a Valentine collection, and this was what she came up with. This”
Another added: “So lame. Trying to get rid of all that extra inventory.”
A third said: “Are you joking? She puts zero effort into this. It’s getting ridiculous now.”
