Meghan Markle lands special guest in new season of Netflix show

Meghan Markle is bracing for the second season of her Netflix show, which will include a new big name but will see no sign of Prince Harry, Prince Archie or Princess Lilibet, it has been claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex released the first season of With Love, Meghan, back in March, hosting various of her Hollywood pals, including actresses Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, as well as make-up artist Daniel Martin.

Now, the reports that the new season of the lifestyle series, which is set to drop in autumn, will feature Chrissy Teigen in one of its episodes.

The model, TV personality and cookbook author is known to be close to the Duchess and will be one of the new faces to make an appearance in With Love, Meghan.

A source told the outlet: "Chrissy is the big name in series two, and they have been friends for a long time."

But they added that Prince Harry, who briefly appeared on the last episode of season one, will be nowhere to be seen in the new season.

The source added: "There is no sign of Harry at all in this one, and nothing of the children either."

Meghan and Chrissy are said to have been close for years, with the Hollywood star sharing images of the Duchess's first batches of jam of her now renamed As Ever brand last year.

In 2018, the Hollywood actress said of the Duchess of Sussex: "I am especially a fan of Meghan. I was on Deal Or No Deal with her and she was lovely."

The Duchess also wrote to the Hollywood star in September 2020, when she lost her unborn baby, Jack. A few months earlier, Meghan had suffered a miscarriage, which she revealed later that year.

Following the interaction, Chrissy - who is married to singer John Legend, said of the Duchess: "She's been so kind to me ever since we connected, she had written to me about baby Jack, and loss.'

The new season of With Love, Meghan was filmed at the same time as the first season and was announced shortly after it aired.

The show featured the Duchess sharing her "tips and tricks for hosting and adding more fun and thoughtfulness to the everyday".
