Meghan Markle’s cookery and lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, was released with much fanfare earlier this year – and figures have revealed how successful the show really was on the streaming platform
The viewing figures for Meghan Markle’s Netflix show have finally been revealed in a new report by the streaming platform. With Love, Meghan was finally released in March – following a two month delay due to the California wildfires – to much fanfare.
It saw the Duchess of Sussex share cookery and hosting tips as she invited a string of pals to join her as she demonstrated her secret hacks around the kitchen. However, new data from Netflix has revealed that the show failed to break into the top 300 most-watched shows on the streaming platform in the first six months of 2025.
Figures show that it was watched 5.3million times and in the ranking of the most watched shows, it came 383rd. The same number of people also watched the fourth series of the legal drama Suits on Netflix, which stars Meghan, in the same period.
At the top of the ranking was the hit drama Adolescence, which had 145million views, followed by the second series of Squid Game on 117million views.
It comes as the Sussexes previously signed a multimillion-pound deal with Netflix in 2020. Their first show, the controversial docuseries Harry & Meghan, which features accusations against the Royal Family, was highly successful.
But the pair have failed to replicate that success with other shows such as the sports show Polo or documentary Heart of Invictus.
In the eight-part show With Love, Meghan, the former Suits actress, gives hosting tips and cooks with celebrity friends, including The Office star Mindy Kaling – however, it was panned by the critics.
Harry makes just one appearance at the end of the first season’s final episode when he joins Meghan, her mother Doria Ragland and friends for an outdoor celebratory brunch.
Meghan said it “feels like a new chapter that I’m so excited that I get to share and I’ve been able to learn from all of you”, in what is likely to be seen as a nod to the restrictions she felt within the royal family.
She told People magazine that her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, visited her on set, which she called “really special because up until then, they hadn’t seen me at work”, and spoke about she and Harry having a daily “nightcap recap”, where they discussed their day.
“My husband met me when I had (the former lifestyle website) The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” she said. “It’s almost like a honeymoon period again.”
