Meghan Markle's Netflix series With Love, Meghan has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Lifestyle Series category. The nomination comes months after the show was canceled by Netflix, with critics and viewers largely panning its content and low viewership. Markle celebrated the news on Instagram, thanking the show's crew and team for their work.
The Duchess of Sussex launched the series in March 2025, alongside her lifestyle brand As Ever. The show featured hosting tips and cooking lessons from her rented mansion in Montecito, California. Despite its cancellation, the Emmy nomination has sparked debate over its merit, given the series' poor performance in Netflix's rankings, failing to break into the top 1,000 most-watched programs.
The nomination also comes nearly eight years after Markle reportedly declined an invitation to the Emmy Awards shortly after marrying into the Royal Family. At the time, sources claimed her decision was a 'line in the sand' between her acting career and royal life. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Markle has been rumored to be eyeing a Hollywood comeback.
Experts have weighed in on the nomination, with some calling it 'somewhat baffling' due to the show's lackluster ratings and polarizing reception. Hilary Fordwich, a British royals expert, suggested the nomination may be more about media attention than the show's actual merit. Kinsey Schofield, a YouTube host, agreed, stating the nomination could help Markle's career prospects.
The Emmy Awards will determine whether With Love, Meghan wins the Outstanding Lifestyle Series category, with the ceremony set to take place later this year.
