Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Receive an Unexpected Shout-Out on ‘Nobody Wants This’ Season 2—Fans Can’t Stop Talking.HL

The second season of Nobody Wants This has introduced a new layer of drama, romance, and even a playful reference to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. In a scene between sisters Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Morgan (Justine Lupe), the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are mentioned during a heated argument about a budding relationship.

In the exchange, Joanne, frustrated with her sister’s behavior, sarcastically asks, “Am I supposed to believe everything you say? According to you, you could have been Meghan Markle.” Morgan, with a touch of defiance, retorts, “I said I saw Prince Harry at a bar and there was a vibe, okay? And there was a vibe!” This playful nod to the royal couple is one of the many moments in the series that connects real-life figures to the unfolding drama of the show.

Justine Lupe, who portrays Morgan, recently opened up about her character’s arc in season two. She explained that Morgan is going through a personal crisis, struggling with insecurity and a lack of stability in her life. “I think the whole season is Morgan not feeling very secure within herself and very comfortable on her own,” Lupe said. “She’s in the middle of a storm, just being like, ‘Help me. Help me. Help me.’” While Morgan tries to maintain a facade that everything is fine, including her relationship with Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed), her therapist-turned-boyfriend, it becomes clear that her internal struggles are far from over.

Lupe added that one of the key aspects of Morgan’s journey this season is her desire not to be left behind by her sister Joanne, who is exploring her own love story with Noah. “She’s been desperate to not be left behind and find her own fairytale,” Lupe explained, touching on Morgan’s deep yearning for a love story of her own.

Nobody Wants This is part of a growing trend of shows incorporating references to the royal couple. Meghan and Harry, who signed a reported $100 million deal with Netflix, have expanded their creative partnership through Archewell Productions, which includes a multi-year deal for film and television projects. One of the upcoming projects is a special holiday episode of Meghan’s lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, which has garnered attention for its personal insights and tips.

In a recent appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, Meghan shared her thoughts on the future of her Netflix series. When asked about the possibility of a season 3, she teased a “really good” holiday episode. Meghan explained that the show would continue to experiment with different content formats, including shorter, more digestible segments, such as a two-minute recipe tutorial. Reflecting on her years of experience, she acknowledged the hard work that goes into producing a show, particularly with the demands of a seven-year acting career on Suits.

In a playful nod to her past, Meghan also revealed that the special episode would include her signature “advanced gift wrapping” tips, something she once taught between acting auditions. “That’s not the full circle I was expecting, but here we are,” she said with a laugh.

As Meghan and Harry continue to make their mark in Hollywood, the royal references on shows like Nobody Wants This and Meghan’s ongoing projects with Netflix show the couple’s influence remains strong in both entertainment and cultural conversations.
