Prince Harry seems for mere minutes in Meghan Markle’s Netflix collection With Love, Meghan
Meghan Markle’s husband made a short and sparse cameo in her hugely anticipated cookery show, which has finally aired on Netflix this morning.
Prince Harry had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance in the final episode of the series – where the Duchess of Sussex organised a brunch ‘with her community’ in the eight and final episode.
And despite appearing in the trailer, the royal was only featured once as his wife’s lifestyle series ‘With Love, Meghan’ was released worldwide on Tuesday.
The Duke is among a flurry of guests, including his mother-in-law Doria Ragland, at a sunny outdoor party hosted by Meghan.
‘Oh there he is,’ she gushed as her husband walked in, sporting a casual linen shirt and jeans for the outing.
The couple packed on the PDA as the Duchess huddled up to her husband, and said ‘good, right?’ while admiring the spread of champagne, Mimosas, quiche, bacon, pancakes and salad.
‘Well done,’ he assured. ‘You did a great job. I love it.’
He can be seen proudly looking on and raising a glass as the Duchess thanks those in attendance for ‘loving her so much and celebrating with her’.

‘This feels like a new chapter that I’m so excited that I get to share,’ she continued. ‘When I’ve been able to learn from all of you.
‘Thank you for the love and support. And here we go, it’s a business. All of that is that creativity that I’ve missed so much.’
‘To you!’ Harry can be heard toasting as Redbone’s Come And Get Your Love plays in the background.
The Prince at one point also cheekily sneaks in some strawberries while looking at the camera.
Harry is also mentioned in episode two of the series, where Meghan chats to pal and Hollywood star Mindy Kaling.
While sampling her frittata, the actress said: ‘How did you season this so perfectly?’

Meghan replied: ‘Well I have a family, a husband, who no matter what meal I put in front of him, before he tastes it, puts salt on.
‘So I try to undersalt.’
At that, Mindy quipped: ‘I love knowing that your husband likes it salty’ – as Meghan shared a cheeky look with her friend.
That same episode, Meghan recounted the time she told her husband about making a ‘little ladybug crostini’ for the show.
‘And he said “oh with the ladybird”. And I said, “no, ladybug”. In the UK, they don’t call them ladybugs. Ladybugs are called ladybirds.’
Mindy then however joked she thinks that the Americans are ‘correct’ on this one.
‘It’s not a bird,’ she continued. ‘I’ll tell it to his face.’
Elsewhere in episode three, Meghan revealed to Roy Choi that Prince Harry ‘loves fried chicken’.

‘My grandma, my mom’s mom used to fry chicken, but I love it,’ she said. ‘And my husband loves fried chicken too.’
In the final episode, Meghan reflected: ‘Just being home and connecting with friends, making new friends… I’m just so grateful for that. But also reconnecting with myself. And just learning, right? I’ve always been curious.
‘Sharing all those discoveries and everything I love with the people that I love, it brings me so much joy.
In the final viewing, while awaiting American chef and restaurateur Alice Waters, who she dubbed a ‘trailblazer in the farm to table movement’ – the mother-of-two prepped to host.
Packaging up some gifts for her guest, Meghan revealed that she used to teach a gift wrapping class while auditioning as an actress.
The Duchess beamed as she welcomed Alice – who brought over a flurry of fresh produce including squash blossoms – and they got to work on prepping a meal.
Filmed in the kitchen of a rented £5million mansion in California – just around the corner from the Sussexes’ Montecito villa – the new show promises an intimate ‘at home’ experience with the mother-of-two.
But royal sources have said the programme could be a make-or-break moment for Meghan and husband Harry as they seek to salvage a $100million deal with the streaming giant.

Since the couple signed the mega deal in 2020, there has been one smash hit and three relative duds, sparking speculation Netflix might soon cut ties.
The biographical ‘Harry & Meghan’ was the streaming service’s biggest documentary debut, viewed in almost 29 million households in its first four days, and proved a global sensation.
But Polo, a sports docuseries, Live to Lead – which focused on ‘global justice activists’ – and Heart of Invictus, about Harry’s games for wounded soldiers, proved lacklustre additions that failed to set the streaming service’s viewing figures ablaze.
‘With Love, Meghan’ sees the duchess trying to promote herself in a new way as a ‘domestic goddess’, baking cakes, arranging flowers and slipping into a beekeeper’s suit to collect honey.
However, in Los Angeles where Meghan and Harry live with their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, sources have said the Sussexes relationship with Netflix is on borrowed time, amid claims they have proven hard to work with.
‘The word bandied around internally is “nightmare”,’ one insider told the Sunday Times, with others claiming the chances of a deal being renewed would rest squarely on whether or not ‘With Love, Meghan’ proved a hit.
Unlike Polo, where the Sussexes had only a fleeting cameo, Meghan, 43, will be take centre stage in her new show, with Harry, 40, featuring in the background.
The former Suits star-turned-royal will also have the support of her celebrity pals, like close friend and fellow actress Abigail Spencer and the comedian Mindy Kaling, who both feature in the eight-part series.
And its hoped the show could be a big platform for the Sussexes’ future leisure brand, ‘As Ever’, to launch from, which will sell items like jams, tea, pet products and soaps in shops owned by Netflix.
Sources say the success or failure of her products in the Netflix House superstores will would be pivotal in determining future Meghan’s entrepreneurial ambitions.
‘This is make or break for Meghan,’ one source previously told MailOnline. ‘Her new show is rolling out the same time as the Netflix stores open.
‘The Netflix stores will offer products and merchandise from all their biggest shows like Squid Game and Stranger Things.
‘This is a big move for Netflix. The first stores are in repurposed department stores inside two of America’s largest malls.
‘They will contain an onsite cafe so Meghan’s products like her strawberry jam will be featured on the menu too.
Meghan’s new lifestyle show was originally set to air in January but, according to Netflix, was pushed back because of the devastating LA wildfires.
