Due to the devastating wildfires in California, Meghan Markle's Netflix series has been postponed. Originally set to premiere on January 15, "With Love, Meghan" will now air on March 4. The Duchess of Sussex, who resides in Montecito with her family, decided to delay the 8-episode lifestyle show to prioritize the needs of those affected by the fires. Markle, who grew up in Los Angeles' Crenshaw neighborhood, has been actively supporting the victims and first responders. She and her husband, Prince Harry, visited the Pasadena Convention Center on Friday to offer their help. The couple also shared resources on their website, acknowledging the severe impact of the wildfires on various communities. The official trailer for "With Love, Meghan" faced some backlash on social media after its release on January 2. Critics, including Meghan McCain, accused the show of being overly curated and out of touch with reality. They argued that the series might not resonate well with Americans who expect authenticity and raw content. Special guests like Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, and Alice Waters were announced for the show, which aims to blend practical tips with candid conversations. However, the delay due to the wildfires reflects Meghan's commitment to more pressing real-world issues.
