The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has once again found herself at the center of professional attention. This time, the reason came as a surprise even to her most devoted fans: the previously cancelled show «With Love, Meghan» has received a prestigious nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award.
Recognition Despite the Statistics
The project, which aired on the Netflix platform, has been nominated in the «Outstanding Lifestyle Program» category. This decision was announced immediately after the full list of award contenders was revealed. The paradox of the situation lies in the fact that the nomination went to a show that was officially cancelled by the streaming service.
The first season of the project, dedicated to cooking, hosting guests, and creating a cozy home atmosphere, was released in March 2025. Despite the author's famous name, the show failed to gain mass popularity. The project did not even make it to the list of the platform's thousand most popular titles. In the second half of 2025, the second season and the Christmas special ranked only 1,124th in viewership.
Due to a wave of criticism and low ratings, Netflix decided to cancel production in early 2026. Nevertheless, the professional jury recognized the value of the Duchess's work, nominating the project for one of the most authoritative television awards.
Turning Down the «Emmy» and Returning to Media
This nomination carries deep symbolic meaning. Approximately eight years ago, Meghan Markle consciously refused to participate in the Emmy Awards ceremony. This happened shortly after her wedding to Prince Harry. According to sources, the Duchess wanted to draw a clear line between her past career as an actress and her new role as a senior member of the British royal family.
The situation changed drastically after the couple moved to the US and stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Meghan returned to active work in the media industry. As part of a multi-million dollar contract with Netflix, she and Prince Harry realized several projects, including the cooking show.
New Horizons and Personal Life
Today, the Duchess continues to develop her own brand, As Ever, and is actively working on new television tasks. In the near future, she will appear as a guest judge on the Australian show «MasterChef Australia», where participants will prepare dishes specifically for her.
Aside from professional achievements, Meghan Markle pays attention to her family life. Recently, she posted a touching photo with her husband Harry and their daughter, dedicated to the child's fifth birthday.
