Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” has been postponed as wildfires ravage Los Angeles, claiming lives and displacing thousands.
Originally slated for release this Wednesday, the lifestyle and cooking show will now debut in March.
The Duchess of Sussex, who grew up in Los Angeles and now resides in Montecito, expressed her gratitude towards Netflix for accommodating the delay. “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,” she shared in a statement.
The devastating wildfires have already claimed at least 24 lives and destroyed countless homes.
Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have actively supported relief efforts. Last week, the couple was seen comforting survivors in Pasadena, one of the hardest-hit areas.
Reports suggest that the couple has been directly involved in providing shelter to those displaced by the fires. Britain’s Telegraph reported that they are hosting “friends and loved ones” in their Montecito home. Additionally, the Duke and Duchess have donated essential supplies, including clothing and children’s items, to assist evacuees.
The eight-episode series features Meghan sharing tips on cooking, gardening, and hosting, with guest appearances from renowned figures like chef Alice Waters, actress Mindy Kaling, and Abigail Spencer, Markle’s former “Suits” co-star. Prince Harry even makes a brief appearance in the trailer, adding a personal touch to the series.
Since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020, the Sussexes have charted a new path. Their partnership with Netflix has already yielded the widely-discussed docuseries “Harry & Meghan.” Meghan further expanded her ventures with the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, earlier this year.
