The second season of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle show With Love, Meghan has dropped on Netflix with the Mirror’s Jennifer Newton watching all eight episodes of the new series<\/h2>\n

Jennifer Newton is the Mirror’s Deputy Royal Editor. She is a specialist in King Charles and Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Kate and William, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the rest of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The first season may have been panned by the critics, but With Love, Meghan<\/a> is back for a second, and it is exactly what we’ve come to expect.<\/p>\n

The pristine kitchen in the rented farmhouse has returned<\/a>, as has the incredible garden full of fruit and vegetables, and the gorgeous Californian scenery.<\/p>\n

Each episode of this second run follows the exact same format as the first. Meghan is inviting a friend around so she must make them a welcome drink, snack, and gifts before they cook up an elaborate lunch and have a go at some sort of crafting project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And its not just the format that’s the same – some of the faces are too, with Meghan’s make-up artist pal Daniel Martin returning to the series for another appearance.<\/p>\n

However, the biggest change between season one and season two is who doesn’t make the cut and appear in the show – and for me, it was a big loss.<\/p>\n

Despite speaking lovingly and candidly about her husband, Prince Harry <\/a>(or H as Meghan calls him), there is no cameo appearance from the Duke of Sussex<\/a> this time around.<\/p>\n

In the first series, he memorably turns up at a beautiful garden brunch where he awkwardly waves and tells Meghan she did a great job at preparing all of the food.<\/p>\n

But this time, all viewers are treated to a couple of glimpses of photos with Harry in them, including one from their famous third date to Botswana.<\/p>\n

There are also details about who said ‘I love you’ first, an insight into Harry’s food likes and dislikes and a rather sweet – if a little soppy – moment where Meghan reveals she had baseball caps made for Harry and his friends for his 40th birthday bash with ‘PH 40’ on them.<\/p>\n

But despite all of this detail, there is no appearance from the man himself, which is a shame as he is almost definitely the most famous person she could have had on the show – and surely a 30-second cameo would have been easy to arrange.<\/p>\n

Even in the episode with model and actress Chrissy Teigen, her famous husband, Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter John Legend steps in for a quick blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment.<\/p>\n

The division of Harry and Meghan’s careers has been ongoing for a long while now with sources close to the Sussexes previously saying Meghan’s work priorities are her As Ever business, while Harry concentrates on his charity work and philanthropy.<\/p>\n

And Harry’s non-appearance in the latest season of the show is the biggest sign yet that this will not change in the future.<\/p>\n
