With Love, Meghan: Why Prince Harry only had 4-minute cameo on Meghan Markle's cooking show
Harry appeared in the final few minutes of the last episode...Prince Harry made a brief cameo in his wife Meghan Markle’s new cooking show on Netflix – With Love, Meghan.
Meghan’s new series landed on the streaming giant with eight episodes. It sees the Duchess of Sussex, 43, share her tips and tricks on all things cooking, crafting, hosting and gardening with her famous friends.
In the last few minutes of the final episode, her husband Prince Harry, 40, made a brief appearance. Now, an expert has suggested why the Duke of Sussex didn’t feature heavily in Meghan’s project.
Sweet moment between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on Netflix cooking show
Harry didn’t feature in person in the series apart from the last episode. At the end of the series, Meghan hosted a party outside with her husband and some of their friends.
Her mum, Doria Ragland, also attended. During a sweet moment, Harry cuddled Meghan and said: “Well done. You did a great job. I love it.”
Having Harry in there just for the odd cameo gives it gravitas while showing he is still supporting her.
Meghan then raised a glass and made a toast to her friends who have supported her.
Harry raised his glass and told his wife: “To you!”
The duke’s brief appearance has now been analysed by a body language expert, who revealed that he was just there to show his support.
Why Prince Harry had only a small cameo in With Love, Meghan
Speaking to Royal Insider on behalf of JeffBet, expert Darren Stanton said: “This show is basically her way of really having her own identity back, it’s always been Meghan and Harry, where he’s had his own projects and she’s supported him.
“It’s her way of carving back her own identity, having Harry in there just for the odd cameo gives it gravitas while showing he is still supporting her.
“Principally, this is her attempt to separate from the brand and have her own space. This is really empowering Meghan.
“This comes out in a non-verbal point of view, we see her appearing very happy and genuine, she’s grounded and humble, she’s visibly excited to be doing this project.”

The family live in a lavish mansion in Montecito - a town in California popular with A-listers.
Speaking to PEOPLE magazine, Meghan shared a glimpse into hers and Harry's life now. She said: "We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments — putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day. Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family."
She also revealed she loves cooking breakfast for her family: "I love making breakfast for my family. My husband and Archie both love fried eggs. There’s a lot of bacon around here."
Speaking about Harry and Meghan as a couple, Darren said: “They’re quite happy to show PDA on the show, there’s not a massive amount of them together.
“But Meghan is hugging Harry, and he is more the dominant person in that moment, when she nuzzles her head into him. Harry is smiling and the pair are very tactile, clearly very much in love and Harry is showing his clear support of his wife’s project.”
With Love, Meghan is available to watch now on Netflix.
