  • Meghan Markle shared a new video of mishaps in With Love, Meghan season 2 on Netflix
  • The clip included cracked plant pots and spilled drinks
  • Meghan previously told PEOPLE, “The series is about doing what you can do and doing it with love”

Things didn’t always go as planned for Meghan Markle while filming season 2 of With Love, Meghan.

On Sept. 3, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, looked back in a video montage shared to her Instagram handle, featuring some of the funny moments from filming the Netflix series.

“This season’s motto — espresso yourself 😉,” she captioned the clip.

The reel opened with footage of Meghan opening a freezer drawer before shooing away the camera. 

“Oh, that’s not pretty. That’s not the shot,” the Duchess of Sussex joked.

It flashed to Meghan and Daniel Martin, her longtime friend and royal wedding makeup artist, laughing as they worked with plants. 

“Girl, what is happening?” Martin exclaimed, as Meghan explained, “There’s an enormous crack along the entire side!” while water leaked from a potted plant.

“Oh no,” Martin said.

The Duchess of Sussex giggled again when she mixed something thick in a sieve, wondering aloud, “Is this working?” 

Someone behind the camera offered, “I think it’s a slow process,” which made her laugh more.

Meghan was patient when a kitchen gadget produced a mixture as she commented, “Oh, look, the pulp comes out of that side.” A person behind the camera joked, “I’m going to stay out of this one,” which made her laugh more.

The reel rolled to show the Duchess of Sussex pouring dry vermouth into a pitcher, which made an accidental splash, remarking that something she sliced “still had some stomach in there” and adding apple slices to a green juice blend because “my ginger has decided not to be a backup singer; it’s performing.” 

“We’re not going for perfect, we’re going for real,” the Duchess of Sussex declared as the clip closed.

Netflix posted the same reel to Instagram with the caption, “im so here for this kitchen realness.”

The new installment followed the first season of the lifestyle series, which premiered on March 4 and ranked tenth on Netflix’s global Top 10 Shows Overview list in the week after its premiere. 

Though her show highlights beautiful imagery, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Duchess of Sussex encouraged others to strive for balance, not perfection.

“The series is about doing what you can do,” she said, “and doing it with love.”
