Meghan Markle’s ‘With Love, Meghan’ Premieres on Netflix with Cooking, Gardening, and More

Meghan Markle returns to our TV screens with her highly anticipated Netflix project, ‘With Love, Meghan.’ The eight-part series, initially scheduled for January, has been postponed to March 4, 2025, following the destructive Los Angeles wildfires. This fresh take on lifestyle programming blends useful, easy-to-follow instruction with insightful, candid conversations with her friends, both old and new.

What’s ‘With Love, Meghan’ About?

Meghan’s series aims to inspire and inform viewers, showing them how they can elevate everyday tasks with her signature blend of charm and practicality. It covers cooking in the kitchen, nurturing the garden, and other DIY projects, all infused with Meghan’s personal flair and humorous approach.

The Trailer

The trailer for ‘With Love, Meghan’ features Meghan singing to The Lovin’ Spoonful’s classic song “Do You Believe in Magic,” showcasing her joy in making mundane moments special. She invites viewers to explore her world of creativity and shares her philosophy that anyone can transform ordinary tasks into extraordinary experiences.

Where Was It Filmed?

Against expectations, the series was not filmed in Meghan’s sprawling €13.2 million Montecito mansion. Instead, she selected a more modest €4.8 million estate just two miles away. This property, owned by the influential Cipolla family, includes eight acres of avocado trees and lemon groves, providing an ideal backdrop for showcasing Meghan’s hands-on skills in nature.

This 4,500 sq ft French-inspired home is filled with beauty, including four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and expansive French doors that open to a lawn, picturesque patio, and stunning mountain views. Meghan’s commitment to excellence is evident in the luxurious cooking equipment she uses, such as a €18,000 cooker and high-end kitchenware that costs over €700!

Special Guests

Starring alongside Meghan are a list of notable personalities, including Mindy Kaling, who previously joined her on the podcast Archetypes. These appearances will promise a blend of starry charisma and practical advice. Other notable guests include Abigail Spencer, both from the legal drama Suits, actor Roy Choi, the iconic chef Alice Waters, and many more culinary experts.

Prince Harry is also set to make an appearance, and there’s speculation about whether their young children, Archie and Lilibet, might join him. The inclusion of both personal and professional friends will offer a unique glimpse into Meghan’s expansive friendship circle and highlight her varied interests.

High Stakes: A ‘Make or Break’ Moment

Meghan and Prince Harry have signed a substantial $100 million contract with Netflix, making ‘With Love, Meghan’ their fifth collaborative project for the streaming platform. However, Netflix has reportedly been dissatisfied with their previous shows, particularly the documentary series Polo.

With this ‘make or break’ opportunity, Meghan is hoping to revitalize her appeal among Netflix subscribers. Sources suggest that her relationship with the platform must improve; the quality of her “deliverables” needs to be seen as more than just work for Netflix to remain committed to the partnership.

Release Date

Originally pegged to launch on January 15, 2025, ‘With Love, Meghan’ has now been pushed back to March 4, 2025. In a statement to Netflix, Meghan expressed her gratitude for their support, highlighting that the delay was necessary to prioritize the needs of wildfire victims in her home state of California.

This series comes with increased anticipation due to its delay and high-profile cast. Besides showcasing Meghan’s talents and passions, it offers a unique insight into how she connects with people and her commitment to creating positive impact.
