Why the Royal Family Won’t Be Watching Meghan Markle’s Netflix Comeback
Look, I don’t *want* to be the one to say it, but here we are—Meghan Markle’s second season of *With Love, Meghan* is out, and the royal family couldn’t care less. That’s according to royal insiders and experts who’ve been talking to outlets like Fox News Digital and Bella magazine, and the consensus is clear: the so-called “Firm” has bigger fish to fry than watching the Duchess of Sussex whip up bath salts and pasta.
Let’s be real—did anyone expect the Windsors to gather around the telly for a cozy watch of Meghan’s lifestyle series? Probably not. Royal expert Kinsey Schofield, host of *Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered*, put it bluntly: Season 2 isn’t even on the palace’s radar. She claims her sources say the core four—King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton—have more pressing concerns than watching Meghan’s “budget” and “rushed” projects unfold on Netflix.
And honestly, can you blame them? The royals have been dealing with a full-on media circus for years, especially since Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020. They’ve weathered interviews, documentaries, and even Harry’s tell-all memoir *Spare*. So when Season 1 of *With Love, Meghan* dropped earlier this year and didn’t spill any royal tea, the family reportedly breathed a sigh of relief. Why tune in now?
British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that senior royals see the show as irrelevant—especially since it doesn’t exploit their brand. “They’re not losing sleep over it,” Fordwich said. That’s a sentiment echoed by broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard, who called the series “run-of-the-mill” and “pretty inoffensive.” Translation: it’s not exactly binge-worthy for a family used to global scrutiny.
Still, Meghan and Harry aren’t slowing down. In fact, Netflix just extended their multi-year, first-look deal through Archewell Productions. The couple is reportedly working on new content, including potential projects like another docuseries or even a Diana-focused special timed to the 30th anniversary of her death. But while the streamer hopes to strike gold, some insiders say the Sussexes’ content has been downgraded—similar to how the Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions saw a shift in creative direction after their initial Netflix splash.
Meghan, for her part, remains optimistic. She’s called the partnership “inspiring” and emphasized her team’s global vision for storytelling. But let’s not kid ourselves—royal watchers aren’t expecting any bombshells in Season 2. And frankly, the royal family isn’t either. They’ve got palace renovations, public engagements, and ongoing image rehab to handle. Meghan’s bath salts just don’t make the cut.
So what’s next? A holiday special is reportedly coming in December, and Netflix is still hungry for a big hit. But unless Meghan drops a full exposé on royal life, don’t expect the Windsors to be tuning in. They’ve got a monarchy to run, and frankly, they’re over the drama.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things—or at least, why the royal family won’t be watching yours.
