00:00Meghan Markle tells celebrity chef Jose Andres that Prince Harry refuses to eat lobster in

00:05Netflix show trailer. In the newly released trailer for season two of With Love, Meghan,

00:10viewers saw Meghan Markle welcoming Spanish-American chef Jose Andres into a sunlit

00:15California kitchen. Meghan, smiling as she stood beside the chef preparing a seafood dish,

00:21leaned in and revealed, Do you know who doesn't like lobster? My husband. The comment sparked

00:25laughter from Andres, who jokingly asked, And you married him? Who doesn't like lobster? Who? My

00:31husband. And you marry him? What? While the exchange seemed lighthearted, it inadvertently touched on

00:37a royal tradition that has influenced Harry's eating habits since childhood. Senior royals have

00:43long been advised to avoid shellfish to minimize the risk of food poisoning, a precaution that can

00:48be critical when public duties demand a full, uninterrupted schedule. Royal staff explain why

00:54Prince Harry likely grew up avoiding shellfish and other foods considered risky. Former royal

00:59butler Grant Harreld has explained that seafood, particularly shellfish, such as lobster, prawns,

01:06and oysters, is often left off menus when the royal family dines in public or travels abroad.

01:12It is a very sensible move, Harreld noted, pointing out the potential for illness to disrupt high-profile

01:18events or diplomatic visits. Though there are no strict bans, the unwritten rule is well known among

01:24palace staff. Some insiders say Harry may have developed a lifelong aversion to certain seafood,

01:30partly because it was rarely served during official functions. This contrasts with his wife's tastes.

01:35Meghan once described her ideal food day as beginning with a seafood-heavy lunch and ending with pasta and

01:41a Negroni. Historical royal menus reveal Queen Elizabeth did occasionally eat lobster. While

01:47some royal watchers insist the shellfish guideline is ironclad, others point to documented exceptions.

01:53Darren McGrady, a former chef to Queen Elizabeth II, shared a 1989 Windsor Castle menu showing souffle

02:00de Omar, lobster souffle, served to the late monarch. Proof that the royal family do actually eat

02:07shellfish, McGrady captioned the image. Still, even with such rare inclusions, the practice of limiting

02:13seafood during official duties remains strong. For Prince Harry, who grew up with this cautious

02:19approach to dining, the idea of eating lobster casually at home may simply be unappealing.

02:25Meghan Markle faces public backlash over featuring Chrissy Teigen in her Netflix series. What began as a

02:31charming cooking scene in the trailer quickly shifted into controversy when eagle-eyed viewers noticed

02:36American model Chrissy Teigen among Meghan's celebrity guests. Chrissy, who has been a close friend of

02:42Meghan since the Sussexes moved to California in 2020, faced major public backlash in 2021 when old

02:49tweets surfaced showing her making comments toward then-teenager Courtney Stodden and others. Many of those

02:55messages were weird and targeted, sparking calls for the model to be canceled. Given Meghan's long-standing

03:01advocacy against cyberbullying, particularly through her Archul Foundation, Chrissy Teigen's

03:06appearance on the show has been met with sharp criticism. Social media users accuse Meghan Markle of

03:11hypocrisy for associating with Chrissy Teigen. Outrage on X was swift. One commenter wrote,

03:17she advocates against online bullying, then has Chrissy Teigen on Make It Make Sense. Another questioned,

03:24how can Meghan Markle associate with Chrissy Teigen, a self-confessed online bully and troll, while running a charity

03:30that campaigns against this very thing? Critics argue that Teigen's inclusion undermines Meghan's public image

03:35as a champion for safer online spaces, pointing to Meghan's own words in October 2024 when she told

03:43teenage girls she considered herself one of the most bullied people in the world. Meghan Markle's

03:48friendship with Chrissy Teigen has survived the model's scandal, despite surprising factors. Part of the

03:54backlash stems from the fact that Meghan has previously distanced herself from acquaintances caught

04:00in damaging media storms, making her continued friendship with Teigen stand out. Since 2020,

04:06the two women have reportedly spent time together socially, bonding over shared experiences of

04:11intense media scrutiny. This close relationship may explain why Teigen was invited to appear in

04:16With Love, Meghan. Yet the decision appears to have blindsided many viewers who expected Meghan to hold

04:22guests to the same standards she promotes publicly.
