\u2018I love the idea of spending time together and finding new ways to show people you care,\u201d says Meghan in the opening seconds of the trailer for arguably the most eagerly awaited second series in Netflix history.<\/p>\n

You know that tone, you know those caring, sharing homemaking vibes with just a little shard of steel and a few notes of don\u2019t interrupt me and please call me Sussex. Yes. She is back, or very nearly back. With Love, Meghan, series two, is released on August 26 and if you can\u2019t wait until then (it does suddenly seem an unbearably long time), you can just watch the trailer over and over because that\u2019s the With Love, Meghan effect. You sort of cannot resist it.<\/p>\n

When she says on the voiceover, \u201cLet\u2019s get creative and learn something new,\u201d you know it\u2019s going to be how to arrange slices of fresh fruit in rainbow arcs on a plate, or how to fill a bag with lavender and then tie it with a hand-written label, or maybe it\u2019ll be tying party balloons to an arch \u2014 neither creative or new but hey! Meghan\u2019s talking. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Harry and Meghan sign watered-down deal with Netflix<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Meghan\u2019s reinventing the wheel and we are very much along for the ride because there is nothing quite like it. It\u2019s like a spoof of a lifestyle show with exceedingly high production values (it looks like a Nancy Meyers movie on steroids), some celebrity faces and lots and lots of cringe-making moments.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s got everything you want from a quality hate watch: seriously basic cooking and people standing around sipping from cups (mint tea made from mint, from the garden?) while murmuring, \u201cThis is so comforting.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has terrible basic \u201ccrafting\u201d or, in Meghan world, \u201ceasy ways to show up lovingly\u201d, which probably means tying a bow on a box you bought in Bergdorf\u2019s filled with parmesan you grated. It has Meghan\u2019s weird demure lady wardrobe, which she\u2019s marketing. <\/p>\n

\"Meghan<\/p>\n

Meghan charmingly defers to the expert \u2014 while clearly hating that she\u2019s not the expert<\/p>\n

NETFLIX<\/p>\n

And it has celebrity cameos from celebrities who are required simply to ooze adoration and admiration for their hostess Meghan and say things like \u201cI could do this every day\u201d (Chrissy Teigen). No one knows why they do it but the amount of bowing and scraping required is off the scale and makes for terrific viewing. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Would Prince Harry and Meghan be welcomed back? We asked Britain<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Best of all, it has Meghan trying to be charming and let someone else be the expert while very much struggling to admit she\u2019s learning something for the first time from an expert. Absolutely hates that and that\u2019s very fun to watch.<\/p>\n

Last but not least it has the car-crash horror of witnessing poor Harry (kind of poor, in a way) be relegated from the guy who, we learnt in series one, makes a really good scrambled egg for breakfast to the unsophisticated loser with basic tastes. <\/p>\n

Towards the end of the trailer Meghan makes a confession (there\u2019s probably an obligatory one or two per series) about Harry\u2019s preferences: \u201cYou know who doesn\u2019t like lobster? My husband,\u201d she says and in response, chef Andres says, \u201cAnd you marry him?\u201d Ha ha. <\/p>\n

Because we all need reminding who is the prize in this marriage and who is raising up who and teaching taste and style and love and care and balance and some other stuff. Harry is nowhere to be seen of course \u2026 He may appear, face pressed to the window, juggling, in episode three while she makes a tomato sauce with real tomatoes. If we\u2019re lucky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018I love the idea of spending time together and finding new ways to show people you care,\u201d says…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343197,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-343196","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-meghan","13":"tag-meghan-markle","14":"tag-prince-harry","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115025766360275177","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
