Meghan Markle has announced the postponement of her highly anticipated Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, in light of the devastating wildfires ravaging Los Angeles and other parts of Southern California. Originally set to premiere on January 15, the show will now debut on March 4.
In a statement shared via Netflix, the Duchess of Sussex expressed her gratitude to the streaming giant for supporting her decision. “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,” Meghan said.
The lifestyle-oriented series, filmed in Montecito, California, where Meghan and Prince Harry reside, will feature special guests such as Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, and Alice Waters. The eight-episode series combines practical tips with candid conversations, highlighting Meghan’s passion for embracing beauty and creativity in everyday life.
The wildfires have claimed 16 lives and caused widespread destruction, with over 12,000 structures damaged or destroyed. Several celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore, and Martin Short, have lost their homes. In response, Meghan and Harry have opened their Montecito home to friends in need and donated essentials like clothing and children’s items to wildfire victims.
The Sussexes released a joint statement on the disaster, urging residents to “open your home” to those in need and check on vulnerable neighbors. They also pledged ongoing support through their Archewell Foundation, focusing on community recovery, mental health resources, and volunteer efforts.
As Meghan’s heartfelt message and contributions highlight, her decision to delay the show underscores her commitment to supporting her community during this time of crisis. Fans eagerly await the premiere of With Love, Meghan while recognizing the importance of the humanitarian efforts that have taken precedence.
