The Duchess of Sussex lives in California where the fires are destroying homes
Meghan Markle has announced that her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, will be postponed until March 4 due to the devastating wildfires raging across southern California.

With Love, Meghan delayed until March 2025 due to wildfires
In a statement released through Netflix, Meghan expressed her gratitude to the streaming platform for supporting her decision to delay the premiere.
“I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,” she said.
Since Tuesday (January 7), wildfires have swept through parts of Los Angeles. The fires have claimed the lives of at least 24 people and forced hundreds of thousands to evacuate their homes.
The fires have not reached Montecito, where Meghan and Prince Harry reside, but the area remains at high fire risk.
The couple was spotted in Pasadena on Friday. They volunteered with World Central Kitchen, distributing food, toys, and essential supplies.

“Produced by Meghan, With Love, Meghan blends practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old.,” Netflix’s Tudum website states.
“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection, and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected.”
Meghan sees lifestyle show as ‘perfect revenge’
According to an insider, Meghan views her upcoming show as a way to prove her critics wrong.
“Meghan feels this show will be the perfect revenge for all her doubters and haters,” the source told OK!.
“She is so confident it’s going to do well, and she will get the accolades she deserves, which will finally shut some people up. She can’t wait.”
The source also hinted that Meghan is focusing on individual projects separate from her husband, Prince Harry.
“Nobody can criticise her for cashing in on her royal connections because she doesn’t really mention them,” they continued. “She’s determined to show she can make it on her own without Harry and her titles.”
The series is said to be reminiscent of Meghan’s former lifestyle blog, The Tig, which featured similar themes.
The insider noted: “Some people think she’s only famous because of Harry, but that’s not true, and she’s going back to her roots.”
Fans can look forward to With Love, Meghan on Netflix on March 4.
