Meghan Markle is reportedly "very keen" to release a third series of With Love, Meghan, but, according to PR expert, another series may be off the cards for one key reason. Shortly after the release of the first series in March, it was announced that a second series was on the way.

The second series is reported to have been filmed concurrently with the first series, with the episodes subsequently released by Netflix at the end of August. Much like the first series, Meghan was joined by various guests, including Chrissy Teigen and fashion expert Tan France. With Love, Meghan failed to earn a spot on Luminate's Top 50 Streaming Charts in the US for the period between August 22 and 28. The show, which was released on August 26, was watched by fewer than 1.11 million people.

In the week of the show's debut, With Love, Meghan failed to make it into Netflix's top 10 in the United Kingdom.

Speaking to the Express, PR expert Rhea Freeman predicted that a third series may not be on the way due to the viewing figures.

She said: "From looking at the numbers available in terms of the audience for season 2, I’m not sure we’ll see a season 3 soon."

Speaking exclusively to Action Network, Celebrity PR Specialist Kayley Cornelius explained what Meghan could do to ensure a third series is on the cards.

Ms Cornelius said: "If the Duchess [of Sussex] wants to be taken seriously in her new venture and regarded as a respected figure in the field, she’ll have to offer far more than the feel-good concepts we’ve seen so far.

"She needs to deliver originality and substance, backed by well-loved special guests and fresh, thought-provoking ideas that offer genuine value beyond what the average viewer can already find online."
