Meghan Markle may have unintentionally confirmed a long-standing rumor about her husband, Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, debuted earlier this year and is already a hit on the streaming service.
The show is filled with cooking segments, celebrity guest appearances, and offers an intimate look at the 44-year-old's life as a wife and mother of two in Montecito, California.
The new season, set to release on August 26, promises more of the same - including a revealing moment where Markle discusses her husband’s rather peculiar eating habits.

In a conversation with Spanish-American chef José Andrés in the trailer, Markle revealed that Prince Harry does not like lobster.
"Do you know who doesn't like lobster?" she asks Andrés. "My husband." Andrés responds with, “And you married him?” prompting her to laugh at the lighthearted exchange.
This seemingly casual remark has reignited the longstanding rumor that members of the royal family avoid certain types of seafood, particularly shellfish, due to the risk of food poisoning.
Grant Harrold, a former royal butler to King Charles III, previously explained to The Express that seafood is often avoided during official royal functions or public appearances to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses, especially when traveling abroad.
“We don’t want a member of the Royal Family having a serious reaction to food poisoning,” Harrold said.
Despite this widely believed rule, there have been times when it’s been broken. In 2013, King Charles and Camilla were photographed enjoying oysters at the Whitstable Oyster Festival.
Additionally, royal chef Darren McGrady recently debunked the myth by sharing a menu from 1989, which showed Queen Elizabeth II dined on lobster soufflé at Windsor Castle, Hello magazine reported.
While the Duke of Sussex may have his own food preferences, his wife and their children tend to keep things simple at home.
The former Suits actress has previously shared with PEOPLE that their breakfast staples include bacon, eggs, and sometimes frozen waffles when they’re short on time.
“There’s a lot of bacon around here,” she said, noting that Archie shares Harry’s love for fried eggs.
The trailer for the second season of With Love, Meghan came out after Netflix announced that they have expanded its partnership with the royal couple.
The pair plan to grow their production company, Archewell Productions, to include more diverse content, which aligns with their vision of creating thought-provoking material across various genres.
