The first series of the Duchess of Sussex's show was largely panned by critics and fans alike

Meghan Markle has shared a deleted scene from her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, that “didn’t make it in” to the show as she teased the launch of the next instalment later this year.

The Duchess of Sussex posted the video to Instagram that showed her alongside wellness therapist Randi Karin.


The clip the pair cutting fruit together, with Meghan revealing a pineapple preparation technique she had learnt.

Meghan demonstrated the technique by following the natural diagonal patterns on the pineapple's surface, explaining: "When nature has given you all the cues on how to have a perfect taste of something," before popping a piece of the freshly cut fruit into her mouth.

Randi Karin responded enthusiastically, saying "How fun is that. I love it," before attempting the method herself.

"Alright, is this going to work?" the wellness therapist asked as she tried the technique.

Karin's use of Meghan's trick worked perfectly, and she was able to pop out a piece just like the Duchess of Sussex had demonstrated.

Meghan captioned the Instagram post by explaining the clip's origins as unused footage from the first series.

"There was so much goodness on Season 1 of 'With Love, Meghan' on @netflix that didn't make it in, there just wasn't enough time!," she wrote.

"This scene with sweet Randi Karin (@soulrefugespa) is especially fun as you think about summer entertaining tips and tricks."

The post also teased the programme's return, with Meghan adding: "Great weekend to rewatch or catch up on the show as we gear up for Season 2 this summer and all the fun to come with @aseverofficial."

With Love, Meghan was the Duchess of Sussex's first solo hosting project for Netflix and topped the streamer's viewership charts following its March 4 premiere.

The second season has already been filmed and sees Michael Steed return as director for the show Meghan describes as a "love letter" to her favourite things.

Meghan revealed that chef José Andrés will be a guest on the second season at the TIME100 Summit in New York City on April 23.

US model Chrissy Teigen has also been confirmed to join her in a future episode, People magazine reported.

Duchess of Sussex will be hoping the upcoming series will revive the critical reputation of her show after it failed to impress both fans and crtitcs alike.

The eight-part series was slammed in the UK press, with The Independent and The Guardian giving the Archewell production one out of five stars.

The Telegraph rated the show a marginally better, two out of five stars.

With Love, Meghan had a torrid time with general audiences, dealt a humiliating 3.2 out of 10 on IMDB – based on 11,000 reviews.

It also received a dismal 39 per cent among critics and 33 with fans on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, being slapped with the infamous ‘rotten’ rating.

However, the numbers have improved somewhat since the show's dismal debut, which saw it earn a shocking 11 per cent on the site and 2.5 on IMDB.
