Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet 'will not appear in second series of Meghan Markle's Netflix show'

The model, TV personality and cookbook author has been friends with the Duchess of Sussex for some time and represents a more high-profile guest than those who appeared in the first series.

The Duke of Sussex made only a brief appearance in the first instalment of his wife's show.

The second series was filmed back to back with the first in spring 2024, before Meghan had finalised her brand name or product range.

It is scheduled to stream on Netflix this autumn.

Prince Harry's absence marks a change from the first series, where he made a brief appearance at a 'celebration brunch' for his wife's new venture, raising a glass of champagne with the words: "Well done, you did a really great job, and I love it. To you!"

Meghan and Chrissy share a connection from their days working on the American game show Deal Or No Deal, where they both appeared as 'Briefcase Girls'.

Teigen was part of the first season in 2005, holding briefcase #12, whilst Meghan joined the programme for the 2006 and 2007 series with briefcase #24.

In a 2018 interview, Chrissy expressed her admiration for the Duchess, saying: "I am especially a fan of Meghan.

"I was on Deal Or No Deal with her and she was lovely."

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

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

The first series of "With Love, Meghan" aired less than a week before the second series was confirmed.

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