Meghan Markle has shared a never-before-seen clip from her Netflix show as she ‘gears up’ for a second season – and reveals when it will air.
‘With Love, Meghan’ was released in March and picked up for a second series – which has finished filming and looks set to release this summer – shortly afterwards.
On Friday, the Duchess of Sussex shared a short clip that ‘didn’t make it in’ to the first eight 33-minute episodes, in which Meghan shared lifestyle tips from inside a rented $8million (£5million) mansion near the Sussexes’ Montecito home.
In the new video, Meghan is joined by wellness therapist Randi Karin as she explains how to properly cut a pineapple.
She says: ‘A trick that people do with pineapple instead of just cutting it. To make the perfect little bite, you follow the wedge.
‘Nature has given you all the cues on how to have a perfect taste of something.’
Meghan cuts around the pattern on the outside of the pineapple, and uses the skin to pull out a chunk of the fruit. Karin then follows her lead, managing to perfect the hack.
Alongside the video, Meghan said: ‘There was so much goodness on Season 1 of “With Love, Meghan” that didn’t make it in, there just wasn’t enough time!

‘This scene with sweet Randi Karin is especially fun as you think about summer entertaining tips and tricks.’
However, some royal watchers did criticise Meghan for sharing a tip they claim she stole from TikTok.
One social media user said: ‘What’s the point of spoiling a pineapple?
‘Meghan watched the video in TikTok and decided to repeat it. She loves to steal other people’s ideas.’
Meghan also took the opportunity to tease ‘all the fun to come’ with her brand As Ever – which sold out earlier this year, and has yet to restock.
She said: ‘Great weekend to rewatch or catch up on the show as we gear up for Season 2 this summer and all the fun to come with As Ever.’
News of ‘With Love, Meghan’ being renewed for a second season came in March, shortly after the first eight episodes of series one released on Netflix.
Despite the show being largely panned by media outlets on both sides of the Atlantic, the controversy that continues to surround Meghan is said to be the reason TV bosses were convinced to renew.

‘This may raise a few eyebrows but one thing which Netflix love is controversy – and this show certainly created a lot of debate,’ one TV insider told the Sun.
They added: ‘Many were so scathing about the eight-part series that they thought there was no way it would get another season.
‘But it seems the streamer is delighted with the chatter its created on both sides of the Atlantic this week.’
The episodes feature Meghan inviting famous friends to a California estate where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips.

The Duchess shared a sweet gift from her husband and children. Meghan shared a photo of a large bouquet of flowers with a special card from her family. ‘Congratulations mumma!’ it read. ‘We love your show, and we love you.’The note was signed ‘Lili, Archie and Papa’.
However, the series was slammed by reviewers as ‘gormless lifestyle filler’ with a ‘tangible desperation’ following its release.
Others said it shows the Duchess is ‘attempting to cling to fame by any means possible’, while another described how she was ‘joylessly filling kids’ party bags with seeds’.
Guardian TV writer Stuart Heritage said the series was ‘so pointless it might be the Sussexes’ last TV show’ and ‘might also be the final thing she makes for Netflix’.
The Telegraph gave the show just two stars. In a review, they said the series was an ‘exercise in narcissism, filled with extravagant brunches, celebrity pals and business plugs’.
