AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has postponed the release of her new Netflix lifestyle cooking show, "With Love, Meghan," due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. The eight-episode series, initially scheduled to premiere on January 15, will now debut on March 4.
In a statement, Markle expressed her gratitude to Netflix for supporting her decision to delay the launch, noting that her focus remains on assisting those affected by the devastating fires. As of Sunday, the death toll had risen to 16, with over 10,000 structures destroyed.
Produced by Archewell Productions and The Intellectual Property Corporation, "With Love, Meghan" features Markle sharing cooking tips and tricks, hosting conversations with friends, and highlighting the importance of finding joy in the unexpected. Guests include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, and Alice Waters.
Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have been actively involved in relief efforts. They visited an evacuation center in Pasadena on Friday, January 10, offering support and distributing food to victims of the Eaton Fire. The couple also donated supplies and urged residents to open their homes to those displaced by the fires.
The decision to postpone the series launch has been commended by experts who believe it would have been insensitive to release the show amidst the tragedy. Markle has shared her personal connection to California and its beauty in the show, making the timing of the release particularly poignant.
As the wildfires continue to rage, firefighters are facing challenging weather conditions and the death toll is expected to rise. The Duchess of Sussex's postponement of her Netflix series demonstrates her empathy and commitment to supporting those impacted by this devastating natural disaster.
