Season 2 struggles to shine as Swift-Kelce engagement dominates headlines
Meghan Markle’s much-anticipated Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, returned with its second season on August 26. But instead of basking in the spotlight, the Duchess of Sussex may be feeling overshadowed by another cultural moment: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, which has captured international attention.
According to reports, the show isn’t meeting expectations. Viewership is reportedly weaker than Netflix had hoped, leaving questions about its future. For Meghan, who some believed saw this as a chance to reintroduce herself on her own terms, the lukewarm reception may feel disappointing.
Still, the series has its supporters. Fans who enjoyed the first instalment are praising Meghan’s lifestyle-focused content and encouraging others to tune in. Just like season one, the new episodes feature cooking, gardening, and hosting tips, often shared with friends and celebrity guests.
Noticeably absent are any references to the royal family or the ongoing rift. Harry does not appear on camera, nor do the couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, whose privacy continues to be carefully protected. Instead, the series keeps its focus squarely on Meghan’s world today, presenting her as a host, homemaker, and storyteller far removed from her past life as a working royal.
