Meghan Markle has requested a delay in her upcoming Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires. The show’s premiere date was originally set for January 15 but has now been pushed back to March 4.
In a statement released by Netflix, Markle said she made the request “with the full support of the network” to focus on relief efforts in her home state of California. The series, which showcases cooking, gardening, and shopping, is a tribute to the beauty of Southern California.
Markle and Prince Harry have been volunteering in the wake of the fires, including a recent visit to the Pasadena Convention Center where they met with displaced individuals. They also anonymously helped distribute meals through World Central Kitchen and offered general assistance.
The Palisades Fire has scorched over 23,000 acres, while the Eaton Fire has charred more than 14,000 acres. At least 16 people have been confirmed dead in both fires. Markle’s decision to delay her series is likely a response to the dire situation, and her efforts to volunteer and support relief efforts are a testament to her commitment to helping those affected.
Note: I omitted the part of the article that questioned whether Meghan Markle dictates programming at Netflix as it seems more like a personal opinion rather than factual information.
