Meghan Markle’s highly anticipated Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has been delayed due to the devastating wildfires currently sweeping across Los Angeles.
Originally set to debut this week, Meghan Markle’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has been postponed to March as a gesture of solidarity with those affected by the disaster.
A Compassionate Decision Amid Crisis
The Duchess of Sussex expressed her gratitude to Netflix for supporting the decision to delay the release, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing relief efforts in her home state of California. "I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California," Markle said in a statement.
A Tribute to Southern California
Netflix has described the eight-episode lifestyle and cooking show as a heartfelt celebration of the beauty and culture of Southern California. The series will feature Markle sharing tips on cooking, gardening, crafting, and entertaining, with special guest appearances from notable personalities such as celebrated chef Alice Waters, actress Mindy Kaling, and Markle’s close friend and former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer. Prince Harry also makes a brief appearance in the trailer.
Harry and Meghan Offer Support
Last week, Meghan and Harry were seen comforting wildfire survivors in Pasadena, a suburb of Los Angeles. The couple urged Californians to open their homes to evacuees and issued a statement on their official website encouraging acts of kindness. "If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do," the statement read.
Reports indicate that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have personally hosted displaced friends and family affected by the wildfires in their Montecito home. They have also donated essential supplies, including clothing and children’s items, to those in need. These actions underscore their continued commitment to charitable initiatives and community support.
A Look Back at the Sussexes’ Netflix Partnership
Since stepping back from their royal duties in early 2020, Meghan and Harry have forged a successful partnership with Netflix. Their six-episode docuseries, Harry & Meghan, launched in December 2022, garnered widespread attention and acclaim. Earlier this year, Meghan debuted her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, further expanding her post-royal ventures.
A Delayed but Promising Release
Although the launch of With Love, Meghan has been postponed, anticipation continues to build for the series. The Duchess of Sussex’s unique blend of creativity and compassion promises a heartfelt and inspiring experience for viewers. The decision to delay the show’s premiere serves as a reminder of the Sussexes’ dedication to using their platform for meaningful causes.
