A source close to the British royal family confirmed that the trio has no plans to watch the show, which highlights Meghan\u2019s personal life in Montecito, California. The decision underscores ongoing tensions since Meghan and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Focused on cooking, gardening, and hosting friends, the series contrasts with the monarchy\u2019s formal priorities. The source noted that the royals see no connection to the show\u2019s lighthearted tone, further highlighting the rift between the Sussexes and the Palace.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Season two of \u2018With Love, Meghan\u2019 debuted on August 26, 2025.<\/li>\n<li>The series features Meghan\u2019s lifestyle, including recipes and beekeeping.<\/li>\n<li>Charles, William, and Kate prioritize official royal engagements.<\/li>\n<li>The royal family\u2019s disinterest reflects their ongoing distance from Harry and Meghan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since their departure from royal life, Harry and Meghan have pursued independent ventures, while the monarchy maintains a reserved stance.

A source close to Buckingham Palace revealed that the show does not resonate with the royal family\u2019s traditional values. Royal expert Cynthia Kennedy emphasized that the program\u2019s casual, personal tone feels disconnected from the monarchy\u2019s formal image. Featuring Meghan cooking and tending to beehives, the series aims to showcase her approachable side, but the royals reportedly view it as a commercial endeavor with little relevance to their duties.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The series is seen as Meghan\u2019s personal project, unrelated to royal life.<\/li>\n<li>Charles III is focused on state visits and official responsibilities.<\/li>\n<li>William and Kate prioritize their children and public engagements.<\/li>\n<li>The source suggests the royals avoid any link to the Sussexes\u2019 projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This indifference highlights the monarchy\u2019s strategy of distancing itself from Meghan and Harry\u2019s media ventures, a pattern evident since their exit from royal roles.<\/p>\n<p> Roots of the royal rift <\/p>\n<p>The strained relationship between Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and the royal family dates back to their 2020 decision to step away from royal duties, dubbed \u201cMegxit.\u201d The move sparked public and private tensions, amplified by Harry and Meghan\u2019s 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, where Meghan discussed a disagreement with Kate over bridesmaid dresses before her wedding. Harry\u2019s 2023 memoir, \u2018Spare,\u2019 further exposed conflicts, including a physical altercation with William in 2019. These revelations deepened the divide, with the royal family maintaining a cautious distance from the couple\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cMegxit\u201d fallout continues to shape perceptions. After moving to Montecito, Harry and Meghan signed deals with platforms like Netflix, leading to projects like their 2022 docuseries \u2018Harry &amp; Meghan\u2019 and now \u2018With Love, Meghan.\u2019 Meanwhile, the monarchy has focused on continuity, with William and Kate taking on prominent roles. Kate, who announced her cancer remission in January 2025 after a 2024 diagnosis, has resumed public duties, including her annual \u201cTogether at Christmas\u201d event, while William supports Charles in his role as heir.<\/p>\n<p>  Meghan\u2019s series as a new chapter <\/p>\n<p>\u2018With Love, Meghan\u2019 reflects Meghan Markle\u2019s effort to carve out an independent identity in the U.S. Launched in March 2025, the series showcases her life in Montecito, featuring cooking segments, gardening tips, and personal moments with friends. Notably, Meghan\u2019s beekeeping hobby mirrors Kate\u2019s interest in the activity at Anmer Hall, though their approaches differ.

The source noted that the royals view it as a commercial project, far removed from their institutional priorities.<\/p>\n<p> Strained ties between Meghan and Kate <\/p>\n<p>The relationship between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton remains a focal point of public interest. Early in their acquaintance, the two shared moments of camaraderie, but tensions emerged over time. In her 2021 Oprah interview, Meghan clarified that Kate made her cry before her wedding, countering earlier rumors. Despite Meghan\u2019s reported outreach during Kate\u2019s 2024 cancer treatment, the response was lukewarm, and the two have not reconciled. Kate\u2019s focus on her recovery and family has kept her insulated from public disputes.<\/p>\n<p>Kate, often described as a stabilizing force between Charles and William, has prioritized her children and charitable work. Meghan, meanwhile, has leaned into her role as a media figure and entrepreneur. \u2018With Love, Meghan\u2019 underscores this shift, but it hasn\u2019t bridged the gap with Kate or the broader royal family.<\/p>\n<p> Harry\u2019s role in the family divide <\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry\u2019s relationship with the royal family remains strained, despite occasional efforts at reconciliation. His 2024 visit to the U.K. after Charles\u2019s cancer diagnosis did not include meetings with William or Kate. Harry\u2019s memoir and public statements have fueled tensions, particularly with William, who reportedly feels betrayed. While Harry continues to champion causes like the Invictus Games, Meghan\u2019s series reinforces their independent path in the U.S.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Harry\u2019s 2024 U.K. visit yielded no meetings with William or Kate.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Spare\u2019 detailed personal conflicts, including a physical clash with William.<\/li>\n<li>Harry remains committed to philanthropy, while Meghan focuses on media.<\/li>\n<li>The source indicates Harry hopes for reconciliation, but barriers persist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The series, though primarily Meghan\u2019s project, underscores the couple\u2019s divergence from royal life, further complicating Harry\u2019s ties with his family.<\/p>\n<p> Looking ahead for the royals and Sussexes <\/p>\n<p>The royal family\u2019s disinterest in \u2018With Love, Meghan\u2019 reflects a broader strategy of avoiding association with the Sussexes\u2019 ventures. Charles, William, and Kate remain focused on official duties, including state events and charity initiatives. Kate\u2019s upcoming 2025 Christmas concert and William\u2019s increasing responsibilities highlight their commitment to tradition.
