Sept. 15 2025, Published 9:00 p.m. ET
Meghan Markle has dropped more personal anecdotes in the second season of her hit Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
The series, which premiered on August 26, let viewers into Markle's world as she welcomed guests to a California estate to share personal tips for cooking, gardening, and hosting.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the biggest bombshells dropped in the critically panned series.
The Gift Markle Made for Prince Harry
Prince Harry and Markle retained their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles after stepping back from their working royal roles in 2020.
In one episode, she talked to her guest Heather Dorak about her tricks to pack a bag, adding she usually gathers belongings that bring her "joy." Among the items was a blue baseball cap with the text "PH40," which she gifted to Prince Harry for his birthday.
As "PH" is a reference to her husband's royal title, it divided the viewers since they had seemingly relinquished it when they decided to step back from their royal duties and move to California in 2020.
When Exactly Markle Fell in Love With Harry
Harry *not pictured) and Meghan Markle began dating in 2016.
Although Harry largely stayed off the camera in With Love, Meghan Season 2, Markle mentioned her husband several times during conversations with her guests.
While speaking with Tan France, Markle recounted the moment she fell in love with the royal.
"Now I can't help but ask personal questions – I'm known for it. Was there a moment you were like, 'I know that I love this guy'?" Frane asked, to which Markle replied, "Yes. That was our third date."
When the Next in Fashion co-host clarified whether she had fallen in love with Harry on their third date, Markle shared she met her husband in Botswana, where they "camped for five days together."
"So you really had time to fall in love in those few days. That's nice," France said.
Markle continued: "You really get to know somebody when you're in a little tent together and there's like, 'What is that outside the tent?' That's an elephant. Are we gonna be safe? Yeah, you're safe. Okay."
She also confirmed Harry said "I love you" first, prompting France to quip, "Oh, that's nice. That is really… you started to blush. I will stop this line of questioning."
"She's still got it!" Markle exclaimed.
What Markle Misses About the U.K.
Markle has not visited the U.K. since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
In With Love, Meghan Season 2, Markle opened up about one thing she longs for from the U.K. years after she last visited the country.
"One of the things I miss most about the UK is the radio stations," she told France, adding that "grandma" station, Magic FM, is her favorite.
The Heartache of Being Away From Her Kids
Markle shares two children with Harry.
As a hands-on mom, Markle found it painful when she had to be away from her kids, Archie and Lilibet. She did not specify when exactly it happened, but she appeared to reference her and Harry's 2022 trip to the U.K. when Queen Elizabeth II died.
"The longest I went without being around our kids was almost three weeks. I was...not well," the mom-of-two admitted.
Markle and Chrissy Teigen Reunited After 'Deal or No Deal' Stint
Markle and Chrissy Teigen both previously worked as briefcase models on 'Deal or No Deal.'
Nearly two decades after Markle appeared on Deal or No Deal, she reunited with former costar Chrissy Teigen in With Love, Meghan Season 2.
"I remember all having to stand in line to get our lashes put on in a row," Markle reminisced.
The model responded: "I do remember coming off stage one day, and they held a Ziploc bag open and we all took our eyelashes off and just put them in there. And I'm like, 'Are these for tomorrow?' And we'd all just close our eyes. Oh my lord… What a time though!"
"I was just so happy to have health insurance!" Markle quipped.
Markle's 'Secret' Third Child
'With Love, Meghan' Season 2 offered a rollercoaster of feel-good and emotional moments.
Markle and Teigen also showed their playful side while making flower jewelry.
"Miles and Archie were both lily of the valley. And 'Honsworth,' this one," said Markle.
When Teigen teasingly asked whether her pal has a kid named Honsworth, Markle joked, "It's my child you've never heard of."
The duchess added: "By the way, if I could have kept a secret like that, impressive."
Archie Is Markle's 'Sweet Little Boy'
Archie was born on May 6, 2019.
According to Markle, her son, Archie, is "the most tender, sweet, adorable child of all time."
"I always wanted to be a mom. I love it. It's better than I even expected," she candidly shared.
Markle Had a 'Horrible' Dish the Night Harry Proposed
Prince Harry and Markle announced their engagement in November 2017.
While Markle found love in cooking, her dishes were not always perfect.
"I roasted a chicken the night my husband proposed to me, roast chicken is what we served at our wedding, I make it at least once a week," she recalled in With Love, Meghan Season 2. "When I made a roast chicken for my now-husband, I was still having a lot of challenges with the conversion of Celsius and Fahrenheit."
She added: "I made a horrible chicken that night. I mean, truly terrible. So, the point is, you could make a terrible chicken and someone is still going to appreciate the thought."

Markle Opened Up About Aging
Markle turned 44 on August 4.
In the Netflix series, Markle spoke honestly about aging now that she is in her 40s.
"It's great to go through all that growing up when you're in your 20s, and start to figure it out when you're in your 30s, and it's really awesome to be in your 40s," she described.
"You have to go through all of that to get to where you're supposed to be. And it's been really interesting to watch as we've gotten older and more comfortable as women and who we are and in our skin and our bodies."
What Markle Would Eat After Acting Auditions
Markle established an acting career before marrying Harry (not pictured).
According to Markle, she used to go to the McDonald's drive-thru and buy herself an apple pie after each acting audition.
"If I thought I did really well at an audition, most actresses would probably think, 'I went on an audition, I'm going to go to the gym,'" she said. "Nope, I was like, 'That went well. I'm going to treat myself to a drive-through apple pie.'"
