Meghan Markle must deliver one essential thing, according to a royal expert, if she wants to succeed in her upcoming Christmas With Love special.
Meghan Markle’s reality TV career is “doomed” if she fails to secure a Hollywood A-lister for her Christmas special which comes out this week, a royal commentator claims. Meghan’s latest Netflix offering – With Love, Meghan: Holiday – lands on Wednesday, 3 December, two days before Kate Middleton hosts her annual Together at Christmas event at Westminster Abbey.
After the critically criticized first two seasons of With Love, Meghan, 44, needs to seriously raise the bar, according to Richard Fitzwilliams, a former editor of the International Who’s Who, if she wants to succeed with both her As Ever lifestyle brand and television career. When it debuted in March, the first series made the Netflix Global Top 10 for TV shows, ranking it as the 389th most watched show of the first half of 2025. However, the second installment fell short of the top 10.

“She has not made a great success of With Love so far “ he told the Mirror, “so her Christmas show is a test because if she doesn’t get an A-lister for it, it’s doomed.”
A one-minute trailer for the Duchess of Sussex’s new episode released last month gave viewers a sneak peek of what to expect – and it included short cameos from Prince Harry, 41, and tennis player Naomi Osaka.
Meghan declares, “I love the holiday season,” in the voiceover of the video. It involves embracing traditions, making new ones, and finding time to connect with the people we love. Let the fun begin by embracing the unique touches that bring you joy.
Chrissy Teigen and Mindy Kaling, the actresses and makeup artist Daniel Martin, Samin Nostrat, and other famous chefs and celebrities have been guests on her previous With Love seasons.
Richard claimed that Meghan’s biggest flaw is that she “can’t break into the A-list” crowd, which he claimed he thought was. He continued, “Her recent visit to Paris to watch the Balenciaga fashion show is an illustration of her trying to address this.”
He said, “She was there with Anna Wintour, Anne Hathaway, and Baz Luhrmann, and it made perfect sense.” There is no harm in attending an event of that kind because it was a very well-known event.
You won’t find well-known names if you look at all of her podcasts and Netflix episodes, though. She has a long-standing friendship with Serena Williams, but she hasn’t received any A-list support in Hollywood, as far as I can tell.
Meanwhile, Kate and William, both 43, are preparing to film the Princess of Wales ’ Together at Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey on Friday. The fifth annual concert has an impressive line-up of guests confirmed already – with Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Hannah Waddingham and Prince William delivering festive readings to an audience of other royals and charity workers from various causes connected to the royal family.
The theme is “the power of love and togetherness”, which organisers said was chosen because “in a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, love is the force that reconnects us all”.
The Service will bring people together this year to celebrate love in all its forms, whether it is through friendships, community connections, or even powerful intimate encounters with strangers, according to Kensington Palace’s statement.
Her Royal Highness wanted to recognize and thank the numerous people who are loving their communities and making a society more coherent and connected, as it was continued.
The 1,600-strong congregation will also receive a reading from Prince William, and Katie Melua, a member of Cornish folk band Fisherman’s Friends, and Griff, a rising star, will deliver some of the musical entertainment.
