Royal fans notice huge absence from Meghan Markle's new Netflix trailer

Netflix has released the trailer for the second season of Meghan Markle's lifestyle show and while it did show a preview of the new guests, there were three figures that were notably absent. The teaser, which the Duchess of Sussex also shared on her Instagram, revealed that the next instalment of With Love, Meghan will air in two weeks' time on August 26.

During the eight episodes, celebrity guests joining the former Suits star will be US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and Queer Eye star Tan France, as well as podcaster Jay Shetty and his cookbook author wife Radhi Devlukia. Chefs Samin Nosrat, Clare Smyth, Christina Tosi, Jose Andres, and David Chang, and Meghan's close friends, pilates instructor Heather Dorak, and makeup artist Daniel Martin, will also appear. But eagle-eyed royal watchers will have noticed a huge absence in the trailer as Meghan's family, Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were nowhere to be seen.

When the second season of With Love, Meghan was announced earlier this year, royal watchers wondered whether the Duchess would include any glimpses of her children in the show.

The trailer, to the soundtrack of Bobby Day's upbeat Rockin' Robin, showed Meghan cooking, baking and crafting with her celebrity friends and saying: "I love the idea of just spending time together ... and finding new ways to show people you care."

She also revealed the Duke of Sussex is not a fan of lobster.

She told Andres as they prepared a dish together, "Do you know who doesn't like lobster? My husband," the chef replied, prompting Meghan to laugh: "And you marry (sic) him?"

Near the end of the one-minute and 27-second trailer, Meghan said, "I love these moments of discovery and beauty. So let's be curious together."

It comes after the Sussexes announced a new deal with the streaming giant.

On Monday, Harry and Meghan announced a "multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects", in contrast to their reported £74 million contract five years ago.
