Meghan Markle and Netflix delay With Love, Meghan due to L.A. fires

Meghan Markle has delayed the release of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. The cooking show was initially set to debut on January 15 but will now premiere on March 4. Markle has been aiding in relief efforts since the disaster began and will continue to do so instead of promoting the show. The series features Markle making hummus for her famous friends at her Santa Barbara home and was expected to boost her lifestyle brand. Markle expressed gratitude to Netflix for supporting the delay, citing the need to focus on those affected by the wildfires in her home state of California. Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have been working with victims of the fires, handing out food and supplies and meeting with evacuees at the Pasadena Convention Center. The couple has also launched a website with resources to support the recovery. The wildfires have burned over 10,000 structures in the Los Angeles area, destroyed thousands of homes, and displaced residents, with 16 reported deaths. Markle's decision to delay the show's release is a response to the urgent need for aid and support in her community. By putting relief efforts first, Markle is prioritizing the well-being of those affected by the disaster.
