Meghan Markle has earned her first Daytime Emmy nomination. Her Netflix show With Love Meghan has been nominated in the outstanding lifestyle programme category — putting her in competition with NBC's George to the Rescue, Hallmark's The Motherhood, The Wizard of Paws and A Different Breed.
The show launched on Netflix in 2025 and ran for two seasons. Each episode focused on lifestyle topics — gardening, cooking, entertaining — with guest appearances from Mindy Kaling, Tan France and Chrissy Teigen throughout the run. The show also coincided with the launch of her As Ever lifestyle brand, with her products appearing regularly throughout the episodes.
The nomination puts Meghan in a category alongside established lifestyle television programmes that have been running for years. Whether the nomination translates into a win remains to be seen — the Emmy ceremony has not yet taken place.
Reaction to the news has been predictably divided. Supporters of Meghan have pointed to the nomination as validation of the show's quality and her ability to build a successful lifestyle brand outside of royal life. Critics have questioned whether the show's production value and content merits recognition alongside more established lifestyle programming.
What is not in dispute is that the nomination is real and that With Love Meghan — a show that received mixed reviews when it launched — has now received recognition from the Television Academy.
The Daytime Emmy Awards will determine whether the nomination becomes a win.
