Prince Harry's absence in With Love, Meghan is 'major sign' he is distancing himself from Meghan Markle
Harry made a brief appearance at the end of season one
The second season of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, released on Netflix earlier this week, but viewers quickly noticed a glaring absence: Prince Harry.
Despite being one of the show’s biggest draws during season one, the Duke of Sussex, 40, does not make a single cameo this time around.
Royal experts believe this could signal a growing professional distance between the couple.
Prince Harry’s absence in With Love, Meghan
In season one, Harry made a memorable appearance during a garden brunch in the final episode, where he praised Meghan Markle for preparing all the food.
But this season, the duke only appears in photographs, including one from the couple’s third date in Botswana, rather than in person.
Writing for The Mirror, Deputy Royal Editor Jennifer Newton said: “Despite speaking lovingly and candidly about her husband, there is no cameo appearance from the Duke of Sussex this time around. This time, viewers are treated only to a couple of glimpses of photos with Harry in them.”
Even in an episode featuring Chrissy Teigen, her husband John Legend managed a brief cameo, making Harry’s absence feel even more striking.
According to Jennifer, Harry’s non-appearance is the “biggest sign yet” that the couple’s career paths have firmly diverged.
“The division of Harry and Meghan’s careers has been ongoing for a long while now with sources close to the Sussexes previously saying Meghan’s work priorities are her As Ever business, while Harry concentrates on his charity work and philanthropy,” Jennifer explained.
“Harry’s non-appearance in the latest season of the show is the biggest sign yet that this will not change in the future.”
Sussex confessions from With Love, Meghan
Throughout the new series, Meghan shares intimate details about her husband, including his food likes and dislikes, that Harry was the first to say ‘I love you’, and how she knew she was in love during their third date in Botswana.
She also shows off a personalised blue baseball cap she had made for Harry’s 40th birthday, embroidered with “PH 40”.
But despite these references, Harry himself remains off-camera.
Harry isn’t the only Sussex missing from Meghan’s latest project. Their children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, also do not feature in With Love, Meghan.
However, Lilibet made a surprise appearance in an Instagram video posted on Meghan’s account earlier this week. The young princess melted hearts as she kissed a framed photo of the family’s late beagle, Guy.
With all eight episodes of season two now streaming on Netflix, Meghan offers viewers an intimate look at her California lifestyle, from cooking elaborate lunches to creating personalised gifts for friends.
However, the absence of Harry and their children points to an intentional separation between Meghan’s business ventures and their private family life.
While Meghan continues to build her personal brand and pursue a career in front of the camera, Harry appears focused on his own path.
According to experts, season two may be the clearest sign yet that this division of priorities is here to stay.
