Meghan Markle has announced that her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has been nominated for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Lifestyle Series category. The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex shared the news on Instagram earlier this week, just days after her surprise return to the United Kingdom.
Emmy Nomination Announcement
The first series of the lifestyle and cooking show was released in April 2025, followed by a second series in August 2025 and a Christmas-themed episode in December 2025. In her Instagram post, Meghan wrote: "A huge congratulations to the amazing crew, producers, and team who worked on 'With Love, Meghan' on @netflix. We are nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lifestyle Series!"
Public Opinion Divided
A poll conducted by the Daily Express between 4:20 p.m. on July 15 and 8:10 a.m. on July 18, 2026, surveyed 3,087 people on whether Meghan's show should win the award. The results revealed a significant majority opposed: 2,998 people voted that it should not win, while only 58 voted in favor, and 31 were unsure.
One fan commented on the poll: "There's a very simple 3-word answer to this question... Don't Be Riciculous." Another commentator speculated about the nomination's legitimacy, stating: "An Emmy what for, least watched programme, how much did the nomination cost her?" A third added: "No doubt the nomination has been bought. The show was a disaster from the beginning."
Context of the Announcement
The announcement comes shortly after Meghan's return to the UK, which was widely covered by royal reporters. The show's nomination has sparked debate among royal fans and critics alike, with many questioning its merit and viewership.
