Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has announced that her Netflix show “With Love, Meghan” will be delayed until March 4, due to the ongoing devastation caused by the recent wildfires in California. Initially set to premiere this week, the decision was made with the full support of Netflix to prioritize the needs of those affected by the fires that have ravaged Los Angeles since Tuesday. Currently, the wildfires have claimed at least 16 lives and forced thousands to evacuate their homes in the region (BBC).
In a statement regarding the postponement, Meghan stated, “I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch,” emphasizing the need to focus on the affected communities in her home state. The show, described as a "heartfelt tribute to the beauty of Southern California," features eight episodes filmed in Montecito, where she resides with Prince Harry and their children. The series includes interactions and cooking segments with various celebrity guests including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer (New York Times).
In a showing of solidarity, Meghan and Prince Harry visited Pasadena to meet and support those impacted by the devastating fires, which have burned over 13,000 acres. The couple's commitment to the community underscores their ongoing engagement with social issues following their move to California in 2020.
