With Love, Meghan, a Netflix special starring Meghan Markle, will debut on the streaming platform in just a few days. Here’s what to expect.
Everything you need to know about Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix Christmas special of With Love, Meghan, which drops on Wednesday
With Love, Meghan, which sees the Duchess of Sussex offer hosting tips while she cooks with celebrity friends, was savaged by critics following its release in March. A second series was released in August and the Christmas special will arrive on the streaming platform on Wednesday (December 3).
Prince Harry did not feature in the second series of the show. However, he does pop up for a cameo appearance in the holiday special. He ppears briefly in the the 65-second clip when he and the duchess share a kiss in a kitchen. “I love the holiday season,” Meghan says in a voiceover on the trailer, posted to her Instagram. “It’s about finding time to connect with the people we love, embracing traditions, and making new ones.”
Celebrity friends join Meghan once again in the forthcoming special, which sees the duchess trying out festive crafts, decorating and baking. The duchess is seen adding gifts to red-and-white advent calendars personalised with “Archie” and “Lili” on them, for her children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. In the trailer, the Duchess makes crafts with Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka, cooks with American chef Tom Colicchio and makes wreaths with old friends Kelly Zafjen and Lindsay Roth. She also skips through a Christmas tree farm before choosing her favourite and leaves biscuits and hot chocolate out for Santa by a roaring fireplace.
Meghan’s March launch coincided with the unveiling of her As Ever brand, which sells items like raspberry jam and flower sprinkles that she frequently promotes throughout the show. After leaving as senior working royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a lucrative contract with Netflix that is thought to be worth more than $100 million (£74 million). In August, Harry and Meghan announced they had reached a new “multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects” with the streaming service. Despite rumors that the streaming giant may be relocating from her and Harry, Meghan described the agreement as “an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership.”
However, it appears that the Royal Family and the show will clash in a very awkward way. The Royal Family is scheduled to arrive in force at Windsor Castle on the same day as the show, which will also be shown on Wednesday.

After vile trolls posted offensive comments online, Stacey Solomon is said to be “incredibly upset” and struggling to cope, with the comments labeling her as “insufferable.”

After a swarm of vile trolls, the 36-year-old is said to be “really upset” and having a hard time adjusting.
Stacey Solomon has been left devastated following a fresh wave of online trolling, with sources claiming her husband Joe Swash has had to step in to “pick up the pieces” after the cruel comments took their toll.
The star, 36, is said to be feeling “really upset” and struggling to cope after vile trolls piled in, labelling the former Loose Women panellist a “diva brat”, “talentless” and “incredibly fake”.
One even called her “insufferable,” and according to a source, the beloved TV host and influencer has been turned off by the insults.

Our source claims that Stacey reads the comments and becomes very upset. Joe is being very supportive, but being well-known doesn’t always make her feel good, and she struggles with that.
Stacey still “finds it difficult to be criticised,” according to reports that she claimed last year that she had “made peace” with trolls and found them “hilarious.” While hubby Joe is attempting to be a beacon of support, he hopes it will all “blow over.”
Our source continues, “She just needs to remember that she’s done really well for herself, but she just takes it all very personally.” She’s just trying to get through it at this point, and Joe is attempting to calm the waters down.
Last month, Stacey publicly expressed concern after she was trolled for posting affiliate links – posts she said she earns a “very small commission” from – on her Instagram account.
She acknowledged that some of her followers had “upsetted” her, adding that she would stop posting the links if it “really offends” people.
She attacked a troll in June, calling her “horrible” and saying she “couldn’t get away from it” despite the fact that she had tried to ignore it. She continued, “Truly, I feel bad for cruel people.”
Stacey’s career has gone from strength to strength since she won over the public on the 2009 series of The X Factor, before going on to be crowned Queen of the Jungle on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! the following year.
Currently her profile is higher than ever, with five series of her hit BBC makeover show, Sort Your Life Out, under her belt, and her and Joe’s fly-on-the-wall reality show, Stacey & Joe, still going strong.
The Essex-based actress is reported to be worth a staggering £7.3 million earlier this year, but despite her considerable success, down-to-earth Stacey is struggling with the most recent backlash and has reportedly been attacking Joe, 43, in order to make matters worse.
Joe is “very calming,” according to our source, but Stacey can sometimes get upset and Joe is the first to stand by her. He is trying to explain that it isn’t all that bad, but reading the comments makes you feel bad. Stacey takes it very personally.
Stacey has also grown popular on social media thanks to her arts and crafts videos and “tap to tidy” clips, which include her successful TV career and mother to Leighton, 13, Lex, 6, Rose, 4, and Belle, 2, who she shares with Joe and Zachary, both of whom are from previous relationships.
Her whopping 6.1 million Instagram followers have helped her secure lucrative brand deals with retail heavyweights including ASDA, In The Style and Primark. But her success has come at a price and, sadly, the star can no longer rely on her former best friend, fellow influencer Mrs Hinch, after they reportedly fell out over business rivalries.
Sophie Hinchliffe and Stacey and Mrs. Hinchliffe first got together in 2019 and are now best friends. and Sophie, 35, was even a bridesmaid at Stacey and Joe’s wedding in July 2022. But despite social media sensation Sophie appearing on Sort Your Life Out the following year, the pair haven’t been seen together since 2023 and have stopped sharing pictures of one another online.
Stacey and Stacey initially bonded after helping the “cleanfluencer” deal with her overnight fame, including dealing with trolls.
Mum-of-three Sophie opened up about the beginning of their friendship by saying, “One day I received a message from this amazing woman, merely asking me if I’m okay.
She simply knew I wasn’t, she said. I messaged her and asked her how she handled being in the public eye with a newborn.
“And what she said to me was, ‘Right, I’m coming round for a cuppa!’ A cuppa?! I couldn’t believe it! Stacey Solomon in my house?”
She continued, describing her new friend as “just a normal person and a mother trying her best,” and stated that speaking with Stacey made her “ready to face this public eye.”
However, their relationship didn’t last, and it has been reported that Stacey’s online conflicts caused by her and her new job.
It doesn’t seem all that promising, even though our source wants the two to reconcile, not least because Stacey could use a shoulder right now.
Our source claims that Stacey has more on her plate than she should be worrying about Mrs. Hinch right now.

Perhaps Sophie is the recipient of the same unwavering support that Stacey did to her years ago?

The football pundit revealed that Alex Scott is returning home after leaving the jungle and has a sweet message for her.
The Lioness, 41, became the first star to leave I’m A Celebrity this week and revealed she isn’t staying in Australia until the end of the show as she wants to be by her partner’s side after her mum had a stroke. The evicted celebrities usually stay at the hotel until the final, but Alex said she is motivated to go back to Jess, adding she wants “to go home and be her rock.”
On her part, Jess has continued showing her support for Alex – and last night, she said she can’t wait for her partner to return home. She wrote on social media: “Forever a winner! She walked in that jungle and was nothing but herself from start to finish.”

“We see you, we saw you and we love you! I can’t wait to have you home my woman.” In her Instagram post, Jess was seen wearing a green t-shirt with a photo of Alex and the writing “Alex for the win!” on it. The singer also shared a clip of her and some friends wearing matching t-shirts in support of Alex.
Jess expressed her disappointment with Alex’s elimination, saying she didn’t receive enough airtime. Jess wrote, “I’m so unbelievably proud of my woman, even though she may have left far earlier than she ever did.” She missed the opportunity to demonstrate just how amazing she truly is, and this is only the start, in my opinion.
Jess also explained why she was unable to interact with Alex on the I’m A Celeb bridge, citing that her mother had a “major stroke and had brain surgery.” She wrote, “I’m sure people will ask me why I wasn’t there at the bridge’s end, so I wanted to share something personal.”
My mother had a significant stroke that required urgent brain surgery over the past few weeks. My family has been through a very difficult, life-changing time, and we have been forced to stay close. She continued, “I can’t wait to have her back with me.”
Alex said she considered pulling out of the show given the delicate situation back home – but Jess told her she needed to go to Australia and take part in the competition. Speaking to The Mirror previously, the pundit said: “It’s been a tough time for us and obviously her family, and it was a tough decision to come into the jungle, but then Jess never wanted me to step away from not doing it.
If her mother hadn’t improved or if things had been worse, which they have been, then there was always a chance that she might not have been across the bridge. However, Jess was the one who pushed me to be here, and it was a difficult choice for me to not take.
Regan Coleman, Alex’s close friend, and Jess were waiting for her as they exchanged a heartfelt embrace. She admitted that when I didn’t see Jess on the bridge, I had to FaceTime and speak with her. It was agonizing to be in the jungle without any knowledge of how Jess, or her mother, was doing.

“It was really difficult for me to check in and see what’s going on and how she was doing in the jungle,” she said. It was an emotional moment when we actually spoke.

Just two years following the breakdown of her 14 year marriage, Countryfile presenter Anita Rani has shared details of her new relationship with Alex Lavery. The couple went public in September this year during London Fashion Week and it looks as though Anita, 48, may have finally found her happy ever after.
As the couple walked hand in hand along London’s streets, they were pictured admiring one another in love. The TV star argued that Alex’s happiness with her was not just due to his attractiveness, but that she had discovered that she might have found her soul mate thanks to one romantic gesture.
Alex is “a beautiful soul, not just good-looking,” she told Mailonline. He is extremely energetic and free-spirited.
And when he told her that he had the potential to be The One, she continued to claim that he had purchased a collection of vinyl records and that the pair sat and listened to them.
When she inquired about his knowledge of his wife’s musical preferences so soon into their romance, he admitted that he paid close attention to her preferences as she discussed different musical styles and artists.
There is nothing more satisfying than listening to music with someone who shares your passion, she continued.
With Christmas just weeks away, the couple have already decided on spending it together and it seems Anita is going all out when it comes to decorations, something she hasn’t done in previous years, according to the star.
She wed tech executive Bhupinder Rehal in September 2023, and they are still dating.
And she continued to tell Love Sunday magazine that “life is good” a year later when she discussed her split. She stated, “Life is good, I’m in a good place.” My own desires and needs are the center of my attention. It’s nice to have time to reflect on my life’s second phase. It’s been called “Chapter Two,” I’ve been calling it.
In a rave in east London, Anita and her ex-husband met at a wedding and wed in a Sikh ceremony in 2009. According to reports, hectic schedules were to blame for the split.
At the time, a source told The Mirror: “It’s really sad but they’ve decided to separate. Their hectic schedules over the past couple of years have sadly meant they’ve drifted apart over time.”

Anita claimed that she has enjoyed living as a single woman in her forties since splitting from her ex-husband and feeling more free since.
She said she was relieved that she is no longer liable to anyone because divorce was not something that her family members would accept readily.

Since Cilla Black’s passing, TV icon and singer’s clothes have been preserved and a sizable sum has been raised for charity.

The clothes collection of the late TV and singing star Cilla Black raised £40,000 for charity – with some items set to go on museum display in the future. On Friday, TV legend Cilla’s wardrobe featuring 246 items went under the hammer with the proceeds going to the children’s charity Variety.
The turquoise ‘Faye’ maxi dress worn by Cilla during her memorable 1971 appearance on The Morecambe & Wise Show achieved £800, the highest winning bid on the day. The second highest earner of the day at £720 was Cilla’s Jean Varon, ivory coloured mini dress which she wore in 1968 on the 1st season of her BBC ‘Cilla’ tv variety series.
Cilla was best known for fronting shows on ITV such as Blind Date and Surprise Surprise, having previously been a singer in the Sixties and starred at venues like The Cavern in Liverpool alongside The Beatles.
Commenting after the sale, Cilla’s son Robert Willis told the Mirror: “I’ve just learned that 100% of the catalogue lots were sold. I’m so glad that all the items have found new homes, where I hope they’ll be cherished, appreciated, and given fresh life and meaning by those who won them at auction. I’m also very pleased that we raised £40,000 for Variety, the Children’s Charity — something I’m sure Mum would have been very happy about!”
According to The Mirror, the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&, A) is planning to make several of Cilla’s most well-known fashions available for public viewing in the future.
Robert responded, “It’s a fantastic compliment that the V&, A, such a prestigious institution, has chosen to take on part of the collection. It’s a great honor and I’m truly grateful. One day, I’m looking forward to seeing these pieces displayed at V&, A.
The auction included pieces by Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Muir, Loewe, Issey Miyake, Jimmy Choo, and many others, making it a rare opportunity to own a piece of British fashion and entertainment history. Cilla, a TV aficionado and singer, passed away in 2015 and is renowned for hosting shows like Surprise Surprise and Blind Date despite earlier chart success.
Robert explained that Cilla’s wardrobe had a proud place in the attic at The Grove, the family home in Denham, and that Cilla’s outfits remained spotless. She hid all of her clothing on rails, carefully stored under plastic bags, and according to Robert, “she kept everything on rails.” They stayed there for a long time. The sale occurred ten years prior to Cilla’s passing in 2015.
Cilla’s fashion choices were expressive and joyful, just like her personality. The collection featured feathered and beaded showgirls who adorned her television sets in sleek, tailored jackets.
The sale was announced by Variety’s CEO, Laurence Guinness, who stated: “Millions of disabled and disadvantaged children are currently living off of the basic necessities.” The life-changing impact of the Cilla Black collection auctioneers’ glamour rivals that of the Cilla Black collection auction. A vulnerable child could have a future filled with opportunity, while winning could give them a vital wheelchair, a special bed, or the means to communicate.

Cilla was a strong supporter of Variety, and this is a chance to carry out her generosity at a time when it is more urgent than ever.
