Meghan Markle’s Netflix Series ‘With Love, Meghan’ Delayed Due to Devastating California Wildfires
Jan
Meghan Markle’s highly anticipated Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, has been postponed following the ongoing wildfire crisis in California. The show, which was originally set to premiere on January 15, will now debut on March 4 out of respect for those impacted by what Governor Gavin Newsom has called “the worst natural disaster in California’s history.”
Netflix and Meghan Issue Statements on the Delay
Netflix confirmed the delay, citing “reasons of sensitivity” due to the catastrophic fires. Meghan Markle, who resides in Montecito, California, expressed her support for the decision in a heartfelt statement:
“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 Wildfires’ Devastating Impact
The California wildfires have destroyed more than 12,000 homes and forced the evacuation of over 150,000 residents, with at least 16 fatalities reported so far. The fires have affected areas across Los Angeles County, including Pacific Palisades, home to many celebrities.
In addition to Meghan’s series, the Oscars nomination announcement and several Hollywood premieres have been postponed due to the disaster.
Meghan and Prince Harry Join Relief Efforts
Last week, Meghan and Prince Harry were spotted volunteering at an evacuation site in Pasadena, where World Central Kitchen was distributing food and supplies to fire victims. The couple also made donations to relief efforts through their Archewell Foundation.
Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo praised the couple’s involvement, noting that their visit “buoyed the spirits of the first responders.”
What Is ‘With Love, Meghan’?
The Netflix series offers a behind-the-scenes look at Meghan’s life in Montecito. Blending lifestyle content with personal insights, the show features recipes, stories, and conversations centered around love, community, and resilience.
The series is expected to showcase Meghan’s passions for cooking, philanthropy, and storytelling, alongside candid moments from her life with Prince Harry and their children.
The Sussexes Issue Statement on Wildfires
On their Archewell Foundation website, Harry and Meghan posted a statement addressing the disaster:
“In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, and medical care centers — affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life. A state of emergency has been issued.”
The statement also urged people to offer shelter to evacuees and assist vulnerable neighbors:
“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. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating.”
A Royal Couple’s Call to Action
The wildfires have underscored the Sussexes’ ongoing commitment to philanthropy. Their hands-on approach has been widely praised, with local officials and relief workers noting the positive impact of their visit.
As California grapples with recovery efforts, Meghan and Harry’s actions serve as a reminder of the power of compassion and community support during times of crisis.
