Described as “aspirational but grounded,” the series blends celebrity interviews with lifestyle segments on food, home, and mental health.

Netflix reportedly greenlit the project as part of the Sussexes’ multimillion-dollar content deal with the streaming platform.

The tone of the show is positioned to be uplifting and intentionally non-controversial, a pivot away from previous royal tell-alls.

Meghan is expected to appear on screen, though not as a traditional host—instead, as a “guide” through conversations and stories.

The series is rumored to feature both intimate one-on-one interviews and visually stylized lifestyle vignettes.

With Love, Meghan premiered on Netflix on March 4, 2025, after being delayed from its original January release.

Serena Williams, Meghan’s longtime friend and tennis icon, is widely speculated to have filmed a segment or interview for the show.

Mindy Kaling, who previously appeared on Meghan’s Archetypes podcast, is another name reportedly tied to the production.

Oprah Winfrey’s name has floated around the project, though her involvement is unconfirmed and likely informal.

Ellen DeGeneres, another Montecito neighbor and known Sussex ally, has been linked to discussions surrounding the show.

Reese Witherspoon was reportedly approached for a segment focused on entrepreneurship and female empowerment.

Lizzo was rumored to be on Meghan’s wishlist, particularly for an episode focused on body positivity and self-love.

The plan? Stack the series with famous faces—figures who spark joy and headlines. Think Oprah-level vibes with a green juice twist.

Country icon’s snub to Meghan confirmed.

Enter Dolly Parton. An American legend with global pull, Dolly was reportedly a dream guest for Team Sussex’s vision board.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield spilled the tea on The Nerve with Maureen Callahan, claiming Meghan made the ask—and got a no.

advertisement

  via Getty Images  

According to Schofield’s sources, Dolly politely declined the offer. Cue the polite Southern letdown: no drama, no drama… yet.

Dolly isn’t anti-royal. She once sang for Queen Elizabeth II and even invited William and Kate to Dollywood (spoiler: they ghosted).

Parton doesn’t lend her name lightly. She’s built a bulletproof image—and staying out of mess is part of the magic.

So, why the brush-off?

advertisement

Reason Dolly dodged Meghan debated.

  via Getty Images  

Some say scheduling. Others whisper about “optics.” Either way, no hard feelings—but definitely no Netflix cameo.

advertisement

The Duchess has reportedly been courting marquee names for the series. Think self-help meets stardom with an Instagram filter on top.

advertisement

Dolly does shows—but only the ones that fit her brand. Think Super Bowl, not Sussex scandal.

advertisement

  via Getty Images  

Some hailed Dolly’s decision as classy. Others said she missed a “girl power” moment. As usual, Twitter didn’t hold back.

advertisement

  via Getty Images  

From gossip columns to TikTok reels, the Meghan-Dolly near-miss became the hottest thing since sliced banana bread.

advertisement

  via Getty Images  

Parton’s presence could’ve guaranteed headlines and heartstrings. Missing her? That’s a serious “ouch” in the PR world.

advertisement

Will Meghan spill in a future interview?

  via Getty Images  

She’s done Oprah. She’s done Archetypes. Could a reveal about Dolly’s no-show be in the cards?

advertisement

Neither woman’s legacy hinges on this. But the story’s a juicy snapshot of the quiet politics of celebrity invites.

Dolly Parton reportedly said no to Meghan Markle—and while it’s not a feud, it’s definitely the celebrity “what if” of the week.
