Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse of Family Life
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the filming of the second season of her Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan." The images, posted on her Instagram account, feature her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, engaging in various activities on set. In one notable photo, the siblings are seen watching their mother through a monitor while wearing headphones, and in another, Lilibet is captured playing peek-a-boo with a crew member. Archie, whose face was obscured for privacy, was photographed holding a clapperboard, showcasing a playful moment during production.
Season Two Launch and Reception
The second season of "With Love, Meghan" premiered on August 26, 2025, and has received mixed reviews from critics. Markle defended the show against negative feedback, including comments labeling it "so awful it is almost compelling." She stated that her audience appreciates the series, which is why it was renewed for a second season. Despite the criticism, Markle expressed her enjoyment of the filming process, stating, “Filming season two of ‘With Love, Meghan’ was more fun than you can imagine.”
Music as a Mood Booster
In her Instagram post, Markle emphasized the role of music in creating a positive atmosphere on set. She shared a curated playlist of 19 songs, including classics like Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic” and Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” She noted, “Part of how we kept the vibe alive? Music. Between set ups I would play a song from my phone.”
Parenting Insights
During the season, Markle opened up about the challenges of balancing her career with motherhood. She expressed her feelings of missing her children when away for work, saying, “You want to be the parent who’s like, ‘Yes, go do it. Go do your thing... But I’m going to miss you so much.’” This sentiment resonated with guest Tan France, who shared similar feelings about his own children.
Criticism and Public Perception
While Markle's fans have praised the show, professional critics have largely dismissed it as lacking substance. Some experts have suggested that Markle's references to her time in the royal family may be perceived as self-promotion. Royal expert Phil Dampier commented that the series appears to be a continuation of Markle's efforts to share her narrative, even if it involves subtle digs at the royal family.
