Meghan Markle reveals Prince Harry's unhealthy eating habits
The Netflix show was originally due to be released in January but was postponed due to the California wildfires. The series consists of eight 33-minute-long episodes with special appearances from some of the former actor's friends including Mindy Kaling and one of her former Suits co-stars, Abigail Spencer.
During the series, the 43-year-old hints at her life behind the scenes, as she refers to making her children breakfast in the morning and 'doing the school run'.
Using organic ingredients, including tomatoes and herbs sourced from her own garden, the Duchess of Sussex shares her love for making things from scratch, including food but also bath salts, candles, and balloon arches.
In episode 2, 'Welcome to the Party', Markle is cooking with Mindy Kaling. As she prepares ahead of their meeting, she cuts up some vegetables.
'I'll make some bacon too, I find when i'm cooking bacon, my kitchen very immediately becomes full of husband and three dogs,' she says. 'It's not my perfume that's bringing them all in. My bacon brings all the boys to the yard.'
Later she reveals Prince Harry's love for salt. As Kaling asks how she manages to season her food so perfectly, Markle explains that Harry's influence has prompted her to be more careful.
'Well, I have a family, a husband, who no matter what meal is put in front of him, before he tastes it puts salt on,' she says. 'So I try to under-salt.'
'I love knowing that your husband likes it salty,' Kaling replies.
In episode 3, 'Two Kids from LA', Markle is joined by chef Roy Choi as they bond over growing up in Los Angeles. As Choi teaches Markle how to cook flavoursome Korean fried chicken, Markle adds that Harry 'loves fried chicken.'
The show marks Markle's second program with Netflix after 2022's Harry & Meghan tell-all royal docuseries, which was watched by over 2.4 million people on its launch day.
The Duchess – who runs her yet-to-be-launched lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which was recently rebranded As Ever – explains that her program is about 'connecting with friends' and making new ones in a trailer for the series.
With Love, Meghan is available on Netflix

Voice actors push back as AI threatens dubbing industry
PARIS/BERLIN, July 30 (Reuters) - Boris Rehlinger may not turn heads on the streets of Paris, but his voice is instantly recognisable to millions of French filmgoers. As the French voice of Ben Affleck, Joaquin Phoenix, and even Puss in Boots, Rehlinger is a star behind the scenes — and now he is fighting to keep his craft alive in the age of AI. "I feel threatened even though my voice hasn't been replaced by AI yet," the actor, who is part of a French initiative, TouchePasMaVF, to protect human-created dubbing from artificial intelligence, told Reuters. He said there was a team of professionals, including actors, translators, production directors, dialogue adapters and sound engineers, to ensure audiences barely notice that the actor on screen is speaking a different language than they hear. The rise of global streaming platforms such as Netflix (NFLX.O), opens new tab, which relies heavily on dubbing to make global hits such as "Squid Game" and "Lupin", has amplified demand. Consumer research firm GWI says 43% of viewers in Germany, France, Italy and Britain prefer dubbed content over subtitles. The market is expected to grow to $4.3 billion in 2025, reaching $7.6 billion by 2033, according to Business Research Insights. That growth could also amplify demand for the so-far nascent technology-based solutions, with platforms competing for subscribers and revenue, and seeking to win over advertisers from their rivals by emphasising their increasing reach. But as AI-generated voices become more sophisticated and cost-effective, voice actor industry associations across Europe are calling on the EU to tighten regulations to protect quality, jobs and artists' back catalogues from being used to create future dubbed work. "We need legislation: Just as after the car, which replaced the horse-drawn carriage, we need a highway code," Rehlinger said. Worries over technology in the movie industry and whether it will replace the work of humans are not new. AI has been a flashpoint in Hollywood since the labour unrest of 2023, which resulted in new guidelines for the use of the technology. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said this month that the company used generative AI to produce visual effects for the first time on screen in the original series "El Eternauta (The Eternaut)". It has also tested GenAI to synchronise actors' lip movements with dubbed dialogue to improve the viewing experience, according to three sources familiar with the work. These experiments rely on local voice actors to deliver the lines, rather than use AI to synthetically translate the on-screen performer's voice into another language. Such a use of AI for dubbing is permitted under the new SAG-AFTRA actors' union contract, which covers voice-over dubbing from foreign languages into English. It also requires that the actor rendering the dubbing service be paid. Netflix declined to comment on its use of AI in dubbing when asked by Reuters. Such test-runs by an industry giant will do little to allay the fears of dubbing actors. In Germany, 12 well-known dubbing actors went viral on TikTok in March, garnering 8.7 million views, for their campaign saying "Let's protect artistic, not artificial, intelligence". A petition from the VDS voice actors' association calling on German and EU lawmakers to push AI companies to obtain explicit consent when training the technology on artists' voices and fairly compensate them, as well as transparently label AI-generated content, gained more than 75,500 signatures. When intellectual property is no longer protected, no one will produce anything anymore "because they think 'tomorrow it will be stolen from me anyway'," said Cedric Cavatore, a VDS member who has dubbed films and video games including the PlayStation game "Final Fantasy VII Remake". VDS collaborates with United Voice Artists, a global network of over 20,000 voice actors advocating for ethical AI use and fair contracts. In the United States, Hollywood video game voice and motion capture actors this month signed a new contract with video game studios focused on AI that SAG-AFTRA said represented important progress on protections against the tech. Some studios are already cautiously exploring AI. Eberhard Weckerle, managing director of the Neue Tonfilm Muenchen studio, hopes AI and human dubbing can one day coexist. "The fear is that AI will be used to make something as cheap as possible and then people will say, 'Okay, I'll accept that I'll have poorer quality'. And that would actually be the worst thing that could happen to us," said the sound engineer whose studio worked on the German version of "Conclave" and is currently dubbing Guy Ritchie's new film. Earlier this year, the German-dubbed version of streaming service Viaplay's Polish crime series "Murderesses" was removed after criticism from viewers about the monotony of its AI-generated dialogue. The streamer had decided to look into alternative dubbing options due to how prohibitively expensive going through the traditional channels can be in Germany. The hybrid dubbing, created with Israeli startup DeepDub, used a mix of human and AI voices. DeepDub did not respond to an emailed request for comment. "We'll continue offering subtitles and reserve dubbing for select content," said Vanda Rapti, the executive vice president of ViaPlay Group, ViaPlay Select & Content distribution. Despite the disquiet over that series, other potential viewers seem more sanguine. According to GWI, nearly half of viewers said their opinion would not change if they learned that the content they liked was generated by AI. Some 25% said they would like it slightly less, and only 3% said they would like it much more. Stefan Sporn, CEO of Audio Innovation Lab, which used AI to dub the Cannes Film Festival entry "Black Dog" from Chinese to German, believes AI will reshape, but not replace, voice work. Humans will always be needed for emotion, scripting, and language nuance, he said, "just not to the same extent". Audio Innovation Lab's technology alters the original actor's voice to match the target language, aiming for authenticity and efficiency. "Interest is huge," said Sporn, adding that producers, studios and advertisers all want to know how well it works. Another startup, Flawless AI, bills itself as an ethical AI company that works with local voice actors and uses its technology to match the on-screen actor's lip movements to the different languages. "When AI technologies are used in the right way, they are a silver bullet to change how we can film-make in a new way," co-CEO Scott Mann said.

‘Amazing' Netflix drama called 'best murder mystery in years' confirmed for second season
A new Netflix drama that rocketed up the charts has been given an exciting update after leaving fans hooked Netflix's new murder mystery called one of the streamer's best shows of 2025 has been renewed for a second season. Drawing comparisons to HBO's hit drama True Detective, this six-part detective show scored rave reviews from fans and dominated the streamer's TV chart in July. Starring Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a National Parks Service special agent, Untamed follows the grizzled investigator solving a young woman's mysterious death whilst struggling to come to terms with a family tragedy. Sam Neill and Rosemarie DeWitt also starred in the first season. Details about season two are sparse, but Deadline confirms Bana will return as Turner to solve another mystery. In a statement, the actor said: 'I am absolutely thrilled that we get the chance to bring another season of Untamed to life. 'The response to Season 1 has been a testament to the incredible effort by our crew to deliver something truly unique. I can't wait to take Kyle on his next journey.' Mark L Smith, who created the series with his daughter Elle Smith, told Tudum: 'Elle and I envisioned it as a stand-alone, six episodes. 'But then the more that we got into it, it was just such a great cast … it was just like, 'Oh yeah, how do we keep this going?'' Countless fans will be thrilled to see the series return after Untamed received an impressive 50 million views in its first two weeks of release. One viewer shared their thoughts on IMDb: 'The best detective series since the first True Detective. 'Could not stop watching from the first minute of the series. This is [an] excellent show with great setting and actors and plot.' Another said: 'Phenomenal work and gorgeously shot. Selfishly I hope Kyle's journey continues in another series. He's like a broken Atticus Finch of a hero.' Watch Stranger Things on Netflix for free with Sky This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

'The show looks stunning; the park feels like its own character with breathtaking shots of cliffs, forests, and rivers. 'If you like mystery shows that have heart, amazing acting, and absolutely gorgeous scenery, Untamed is a must-watch.' Another added: 'Loved this show, it's a real tear jerker but also kept me on the edge of my seat. This is one of the very best shows Netflix has put out. Great story telling, great actors and beautiful scenery.' And a final fan declared: 'The best series that I have watched in a long time. 'Honestly, I could watch this series over and over. I really hope that Netflix makes a part two.' Fans's prayers have been answered as Bana will return as Turner after leaving Yosemite to let go of his past - but there'll undoubtedly be more sinister conspiracies lurking just around the corner. Untamed is available to stream on Netflix.

Netflix fans 'work out' identity of Wednesday's stalker and it's not who you think
Anticipation is building for fans of the Netflix show Wednesday as season 2 is set to be released on August 6 Wednesday fans think they have "cracked" the identity of the mysterious stalker with season 2 merely weeks away. Excitement is mounting amongst Wednesday devotees as Season 2 is scheduled for release on August 6. Jenna Ortega reprises her role as Wednesday Addams whilst she becomes embroiled in another puzzling mystery. Season 1 witnessed Wednesday arrive at Nevermore Academy, a boarding establishment for outcasts and misfits. Despite her initial preference for solitude, the beloved character quickly became Nevermore's unlikely hero. Viewers will recall that the inaugural season concluded on a cliffhanger as Wednesday seemed to have acquired a stalker. Equipped with her first mobile phone, she began receiving numerous text messages from an anonymous sender, including photographs of herself with others. One text stated "I'm watching you" accompanied by a menacing gif. Throughout recent years, fans have been debating the stalker's potential identity, reports the Express. And the options are limitless, but there is one that has come to a surprise to a few people. On Reddit, one user commented: "Maybe Enid is the stalker and is just sending messages to herself to throw Wednesday off her sent." In an earlier thread, another suggested: "I (PERSONALLY) have a theory that the stalker is Ajax, since anytime they kiss, Enid's claws come out, kind of like she's got a bad feeling about him maybe?" One viewer speculated: "I feel like it might be Ms Weems. I know she is dead from nightshade poisoning but Lurch's eyes were both black at the end but it wasn't supposed to be. It was one greyish and one black. She might have came back to life and became bad. She always had her eyes on her so would that already be stalking her?" Some enthusiasts have proposed that the stalker could be a fresh character introduced in the second series, but one fan is particularly convinced the stalker is a shape shifter, stating: "I think the shapeshifter would challenge wednesdays trust in people in a new way leading to tension in her relationships." However, it is one fan's commitment to Bianca that has people surprised as they also provide plausible reasons why the siren could be the one. They argued that Bianca would have been present for all the moments the photos were taken and also mentioned tension between Bianca and Wednesday. They further explained: "How would Bianca get access to the phone? Easy, Siren Song Xavier to get the phone number." Showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough previously confirmed they had hoped fans would theorise who the stalker might be, according to Netflix's Tudum. Millar added: "The Stalker [mystery] is just the idea that the threats remain out there. "There are certainly other possible threats out there to both Wednesday and the school. Not all the loose ends have been tied up as neatly as Wednesday thinks they have. And she loves the idea of a new mystery."
