Meghan Markle has been dealt a fresh blow as the second season of With Love, Meghan is nowhere to be seen in the latest list of most-watched shows on Netflix. Netflix released the data for the 'Top 10 Shows' in the UK for the period from August 25 to August 31, with Meghan's show failing to enter the top 10.

Season two of With Love, Meghan aired on August 26, and showcased Meghan Markle making arts and crafts and inviting celebrity friends and chefs to a rented mansion to explore her tagline "Love is in the details". The Daily Beast Tom Sykes writes how the "curiousity factor has worn off".

He adds: "The Royalist understands the show is languishing somewhere in the mid-to-late 30s, a very disappointing performance given the publicity blitz, lavish spending, and Meghan’s own boasts about commanding a crew of 80."

Mr Sykes also adds how "fresh images of her children" posted on Meghan's Instagram page were an attempt to "distract from incoming bad news".

Shows that were featured on the top 10 list included: WWE SmackDown: 2025, Ms. Rachel: Season 1, The Gathering: Season 1, and Hostage: Limited Series.

Despite not entering the top 10, it has previously been revealed that Meghan will feature in a holiday special of her series in December. The press release issued by Archewell Productions read: "This December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration
