Meghan Markle’s Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” has garnered a nomination at the upcoming Daytime Emmy Awards, marking a notable milestone in the Duchess’s post-royal endeavours. The show, which showcases Markle’s interests in cooking, gardening, and entertaining, has been shortlisted for the prestigious award in the Outstanding Lifestyle Program category. This announcement coincided with the revealing of nominees on 14 July and has stirred significant interest among fans and critics alike.

The show will compete against notable programs such as “A Different Breed,” “George to the Rescue,” “The Motherhood,” and “The Wizard of Paws.” The winner of this category will be announced during the 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, scheduled for 30 October 2026.

Since its debut on Netflix in March 2025, “With Love, Meghan” has made an impressive impact. Within a week of its release, it reached the tenth spot on Netflix’s global Top 10 shows, attracting around 2.6 million views and accumulating a staggering 12.6 million hours of watch time. By July 2025, the streaming service revealed that the show had been viewed 5.3 million times in its first half-year.
The popularity of the series led to a second season, which was filmed concurrently with the first and premiered on 26 August 2025. A holiday special followed later that year, although plans for a third season are currently uncertain. A source close to the production has indicated that although there are no immediate plans for further seasons, the possibility of future specials remains on the table.
In a recent appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., Markle reflected on her partnership with Netflix. The Duchess and her husband, Prince Harry, entered into a significant deal estimated at $100 million with the streaming platform following their departure from royal duties in 2020. Markle described the evolution of their partnership, emphasising the transition to a first-look deal, which allows for greater flexibility when exploring content opportunities outside of the Netflix framework.
Markle shared insights about the production challenges, stating, “Eight episodes for two seasons — it’s a lot of work,” drawing on her extensive acting experience from her time on “Suits.” She expressed a desire to innovate in the format, balancing traditional longer episodes with shorter, more digestible content that could include rapid recipes or advice segments.
In addition to “With Love, Meghan,” Markle has been developing her lifestyle brand, “As Ever,” in collaboration with Netflix. However, a recent report by The Sun confirmed that the streaming giant will no longer be a partner in this venture, as the brand prepares to operate independently. Despite this shift, spokespeople from both the lifestyle brand and Netflix have expressed optimism about the future direction of “As Ever.”
A spokesperson for “As Ever” stated, “We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth, and As Ever is now ready to stand on its own.” The statement further described the upcoming year as an exciting period for the brand, which includes a range of products such as jams, honey, and candles that reflect Markle’s lifestyle ethos.
With this transition, Markle is poised to further develop her brand creatively. A source close to her team noted that establishing and scaling “As Ever” has become a priority, highlighting the incorporation of her personal experiences and values into the brand’s offerings.
As the Duchesses continues to grow her endeavours, both in television and lifestyle, many are keenly observing her journey. Markle’s ability to blend her passions with her entrepreneurial goals marks a compelling chapter in her life beyond the constraints of royal obligations. The upcoming Emmy Awards will serve as a significant moment in recognising her contributions to lifestyle programming while shaping the narrative of her vibrant new career.
