Prince William has quietly celebrated two Primetime Emmy nods for ‘The Reluctant Traveller with Eugene Levy’, arriving just hours after Meghan Markle received her own Emmy nomination. The timing of the dual recognitions adds another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding the two branches of the royal family and their respective media ventures.According to reports, the Apple TV series secured two prestigious nominations following the Prince of Wales’ appearance on camera in October 2025. The 44-year-old welcomed Eugene Levy, 79, to Windsor Castle for an episode that has now garnered recognition in two categories: Outstanding Writing For A Nonfiction Program and Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special.

In a lighter moment, William quipped about whether visiting a pub with him had been on Levy’s bucket list, to which the actor replied: “That’s the bucket!”
Contrast with Meghan Markle’s nomination
The Emmy recognition for William’s appearance on ‘The Reluctant Traveller with Eugene Levy’ stands in notable contrast to the Duchess of Sussex’s single Daytime Emmy nomination for her Netflix programme ‘With Love, Meghan’ in the Outstanding Lifestyle Series category. Meghan celebrated the news on social media, writing: “A huge congratulations to the amazing crew, producers, and team who worked on ‘With Love, Meghan’ on @netflix. We are nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lifestyle Series!” The duchess’s cooking series, which launched in March 2025, received poor reviews and failed to reach the platform’s top 1,000 most-watched programmes according to streaming viewership figures. A second series and Christmas special of ‘With Love, Meghan’ followed, filmed at a rented property near the Sussexes’ Montecito residence.Meghan’s lifestyle brand, which was launched simultaneously with the series, has since parted ways with the streaming service. A spokesman confirmed in March that the company was “now ready to stand on its own.”
