The 2026 Daytime Emmy nominations were announced on Tuesday, recognizing two high-profile shows with royal connections. Netflix's 'With Love, Meghan' received a nomination in the Outstanding Lifestyle Program category, while Apple TV+'s 'The Reluctant Traveller' earned two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special.
Meghan Markle's show, hosted by the Duchess of Sussex, features cooking and hosting tips alongside celebrity guests. Markle celebrated the nomination on Instagram, praising the crew and producers. The series marks her return to television after stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Before her acting career, Markle worked in various roles, including a part-time job at a frozen yogurt shop and an internship at the American embassy in Argentina.
Prince William's appearance in 'The Reluctant Traveller' boosted the show's visibility. The Prince of Wales discussed personal challenges, including his father's and wife's health struggles, during the episode. The series, hosted by Eugene Levy, also received praise for its humor and candid moments, including William joking about getting drunk with Levy.
Both shows represent a shift in how royals engage with media, with Markle focusing on lifestyle content and William participating in a lighthearted travel series.
