Episode 6: “Just for the Halibut” is a gorgeous marriage of culinary finesse and heartfelt storytelling. In this installment, Meghan welcomes Michelin-starred chef Clare Smyth—the first British woman to run a three-Michelin-starred restaurant and the mastermind behind Meghan and Harry’s royal wedding menu—to her sunlit Montecito kitchen. Together, they prepare fresh green juice, Parker house rolls, and local halibut, all while sharing stories from Meghan’s wedding receptions (including that iconic late-night fried chicken moment). The episode strikes a warm, reflective tone, mixing hospitality with candid connections.
Clare Smyth, MBE is a Northern Irish–born chef celebrated for her mastery of modern British cuisine. After training under culinary greats like Gordon Ramsay, she made history in 2021 when her restaurant, Core by Clare Smyth, became the first in the UK led by a female chef to earn three Michelin stars. Smyth’s reputation extends beyond her kitchen—she also crafted the menu for Meghan and Harry’s private wedding reception, and now brings her signature sophistication and culinary heart into With Love, Meghan.

Two more episodes to go! How did everyone like this season? Leave you thoughts in the comments and let me know what your favorite outfit was so far!
I love to see Meghan wearing a very expensive diamond tennis necklace with jeans and button-up shirt!! I love high/low aspect of Meghan’s wardrobe and while I certainly can’t quite afford the Hollowell necklace, there are plenty of affordable pieces that I too, can wear with jeans and a button-up!!
Back from vacation, I discovered all your articles to read ! What a joy ! And in fact, that’s what I like about Meghan, her joy, her well-being, the calm that she exudes and shares even through simple images. Thank you to her and to you Susan who are taking over, always with kind words. These bubbles of well-being are important in a troubled world. (and I wanted to tell you this)
A few months ago I wrote a message in which I really wanted to see Meghan wear yellow again, my wish was granted ! 😍 I think this is the color that suits her best, Meghan already looks radiant naturally but yellow makes her even brighter. I love it !
Do we know if she is preparing a season 3 (filmed previously this year) ?
Hi Anna, No word if there will be a season 3. I think most are hoping that they will do one. – Susan
