Meghan Markle took to social media to tease fans with a hint of what may be coming on season two of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan.
The Duchess of Sussex shared footage of her crafting some floral arrangements alongside her beloved late rescue dog Guy.
The clip was posted to Instagram with the caption: ‘Flower arranging with Guy last spring. Just wait til you see what I’ve been cooking up this year! More soon’.
The footage was set to the jaunty pop song ‘Lollipop’ by The Chordettes – originally written by Julius Dixson and Beverly Ross in 1958.
Meghan broke cover earlier this week to post a special celebratory message for her son Archie’s sixth birthday – her first public pronouncement following her husband Prince Harry’s disastrous BBC interview.
The latest behind-the-scenes clips show Meghan trimming the stalks of a bunch of pale roses and a series of other plants, before combining them into a beautiful floral arrangement.
Buzzing around her feet is her late beagle, Guy, who Meghan adopted from a dog rescue in Canada in 2015 and who passed away earlier this year.
In a commemorative post on January 7 this year announcing Guy’s passing, Meghan wrote: ‘He had been at a kill shelter in Kentucky and given a few days to live. I swooped him up….and fell in love.

The accompanying caption hints at a project Meghan has ‘been cooking up this year’ – likely to be a reference to season two of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan
‘They referred to him as ‘the little guy’ because he was so small and frail, so I named him ‘Guy’. And he was the best guy any girl could have asked for.
‘If you followed me on instagram back in the day, you saw a lot of him – and on The Tig too. He was with me at Suits, when I got engaged, (and then married), when I became a mom….he was with me for everything: the quiet, the chaos, the calm, the comfort.
‘He endured a terrible accident shortly before I moved to the UK which had him undergoing surgeries for several months and unable to leave the clinic.
‘Doctors said he would never walk again, but Dr Noel Fitzpatrick said he could do it. H and I would drive late at night, after hours, to see Guy as he recovered in Surrey for months on end.
‘I will always be grateful to Noel and his team, the team at Queen West Animal Hospital in TO, our vets now, and my friends and community: Thank you for loving him so.
‘Because many of you will now see Guy in this new series, I hope you’ll come to understand why I am so devastated by his loss. I think you may fall a little bit in love too.
‘I have cried too many tears to count – the type of tears that make you get in the shower with the absurd hope that the running water on your face will somehow make you not feel them, or pretend they’re not there. But they are. And that’s okay too.
‘Thank you for so many years of unconditional love, my sweet Guy. You filled my life in ways you’ll never know.’
Despite passing at the start of this year, Meghan’s beagle Guy managed to make it into season one of her Netflix show
Guy even became the star of his own children’s book, His Royal Dogness, Guy the Beagle: The Rebarkable True Story of Meghan Markle’s Rescue Dog

With Love, Meghan aired on Netflix on March 4 this year and was quickly panned by critics
However despite the negative reviews, the Duchess of Sussex’s eight-part series was watched by 526,000 households in the first five days it was available on Netflix
Meghan Markle announced her new Netflix show had been ‘renewed for a second season’ on Instagram back in March
The project Meghan mentions ‘cooking up’ is likely to be the second season of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan which was renewed by the streaming giant in March.
The eight-part series received a series of less than enthusiastic reviews in the press, being branded ‘smug, syrupy and endlessly spoofable’ in the Times and ‘an exercise in narcissism’ by the Telegraph.
But Netflix were insistent that ‘there’s more joy to be shared’.
The show aired on March 4 this year and saw Meghan offer lifestyle tips from inside a rented $8million (£5million) mansion near the Sussexes’ Montecito home.
Despite the negative press, the show rapidly rapidly made its way to Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched list.
According to the streamer, season two is already shot and will air sometime this autumn.
