Critics have delivered scathing reviews of Meghan Markle's new Netflix series, labelling the Duchess of Sussex 'needy' and 'narcissistic' in her second attempt at small-screen stardom.

Season two of With Love, Meghan, which launched on Netflix today, has already been panned as 'marginally less mad but more needy' than its predecessor - despite pulling in millions of viewers in its debut run.

The Mail's Liz Jones branded the new season 'staged, fake and dull' - but unlike other critics, commended Meghan for being 'genuinely earnest'.

The Guardian dismissed the show as a 'gormless lifestyle filler', while The Telegraph described the Duchess as a 'Montecito Marie Antoinette'.

The Times was equally cutting, calling the eight-part show 'a series in search of a meaning, fronted by a woman in need of some cash'.
