LOS ANGELES — Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, giving the former television actor another major recognition as she builds a career in entertainment and lifestyle programming.
The series was announced Tuesday as a nominee for Outstanding Lifestyle Program at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards. It will compete against A Different Breed, George to the Rescue, The Motherhood and The Wizard of Paws.
The awards ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 30 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
A new chapter for Meghan
The nomination marks another step in Meghan's transition from acting to producing and hosting lifestyle content.
Before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan Markle was best known for playing Rachel Zane on the legal drama Suits. Her Netflix series represents a very different kind of television project, focusing on cooking, gardening, entertaining and everyday lifestyle ideas.
The show also features appearances by several well-known personalities, including Chrissy Teigen and Mindy Kaling, while Harry makes a cameo.
Two seasons and a holiday special
With Love, Meghan debuted in 2025 and ultimately ran for two seasons. The program also received a holiday special, expanding the format beyond its original episodes.
The series was produced as part of Meghan and Harry's broader entertainment work following their move away from royal duties and life in the United States.
The Emmy recognition comes despite the program receiving mixed reactions from critics. Some reviewers questioned its highly polished presentation, while others praised its relaxed approach to food, entertaining and home life.
Competition in the lifestyle category
Meghan's show faces competition from four other programs covering a wide range of lifestyle and human-interest subjects.
A Different Breed explores competitive canine sports, while George to the Rescue centers on home renovations. The Motherhood and The Wizard of Paws round out the category.
The nomination therefore puts With Love, Meghan alongside programs with very different approaches to lifestyle television.
A notable entertainment milestone
For Meghan, the nomination provides a new professional milestone following her years as an actress and her subsequent transition into producing and lifestyle media.
The recognition also places additional attention on the Netflix series at a time when Meghan's public profile continues to span entertainment, business and her role as a member of the British royal family.
The Daytime Emmy nomination does not guarantee a win, but it gives With Love, Meghan a place among the year's officially recognized lifestyle programs.
The winner will be announced when the Daytime Emmy Awards take place in October. Until then, Meghan and the show's production team will have to wait to see whether the Netflix series can turn its nomination into a trophy.
