Why Meghan Markle’s new reality show With Love, Meghan has been postponed.

Years after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed their $100 million deal with Netflix, the Duchess of Sussex announced her new lifestyle project, With Love, Meghan.

The 43-year-old shared the news on her Instagram account, which she returned to just earlier this month.

The project was due to premiere this week. However, Meghan has now decided to pull the brakes on its release date, as wildfires continue to devastate her hometown of LA.

Sharing the trailer, Meghan wrote: "I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it.

"Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support - and fun! As ever, Meghan."

So, what is With Love, Meghan about, and when can we expect it to hit screens? Here is everything we know about Meghan Markle's Netflix show.

What is With Love, Meghan about?

Well, in the trailer, the royal is baking, arranging flowers, and collecting honey — all while in the presence of celebrity guests.

The teaser alone features The Office star Mindy Kaling, her makeup artist Daniel Martin, and even her former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer.

In the short clip, the mother-of-two gushes about her love of cooking, hosting, and friendship.

"I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it," Meghan said in the trailer.

"Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them."

She continued: "I'm going to share some little tips and tricks and how you can incorporate these practices every day.

"We're not in the pursuit of perfection, we're in the pursuit of joy."

Prince Harry also made a quick cameo in the trailer, sharing a hug with his wife.

Basically, what we're gathering is that the series will explore Meghan from a lifestyle lens, cooking and otherwise, with the help of some famous faces.

When will With Love, Meghan premiere?

With Love, Meghan was due to drop on Netflix on January 15, 2025.

However, this has now been bumped to March 4, as LA battles wildfires that California governor Gavin Newsom said are becoming the worst natural disaster in US history.

"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," Meghan said in a statement on Sunday, per People.

With Love, Meghan includes thoughtful nods to the beauty of her home state. So, it makes sense for Meghan to want to hold off to focus on the devastating fires.

Meghan and Harry have welcomed friends and loved ones who were forced to flee from the fires into their Montecito, California home, according to People. The couple visited the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena on Friday to help distribute food and supplies to victims of the Eaton Fire, and have spoken out about ways to support relief efforts.

There has been speculation the release date of With Love, Meghan will coincide with the official launch of Markle's lifestyle brand — American Riviera Orchard.

And you know what that means? We will finally be able to get our hands on that ever-elusive jam.

Meghan has been breadcrumbing American Riviera Orchard for almost 10 months.

First, she created its Instagram page in March 2024 before showcasing the kinds of products the brand will sell — including a variety of homewares, cookbooks, jellies, jams, oils, and more.

Then, she sent hampers of jam to some famous friends, including Kris Jenner, Mindy Kaling and Chrissy Teigen.

Since then, we haven't heard much about Meghan's jam — or AOR as a whole, to be honest — but considering With Love, Meghan is a lifestyle show, it would make sense for Markle to launch her lifestyle brand at the same time, and feature her own products in the series.

Does Meghan Markle have Instagram?

Yes, Meghan Markle has Instagram. She posted on it for the first time in January 2025.

Much like 'Cher' or 'Adele', the duchess dropped her last name for the Insta handle, opting to simply go by 'Meghan'. Edgy.

She made her return to the app with a black-and-white video filmed by none other than Prince Harry himself. In the footage, the mother-of-two ran along the beach and scrawled '2025' into the sand.

Since sharing the post, 'Meghan' has gained almost a million followers, and likes from famous friends such as tennis legend Serena Williams and actress Octavia Spencer.

The timing suggests that Meghan returned to the app to promote her new Netflix show — so 2025 is clearly the year of the hustle.

What are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's other Netflix shows?

With Love, Meghan isn't Markle's first foray onto Netflix, no, no, no.

In 2022, she and Harry released a docuseries called Harry & Meghan. The series, which was directed by Lix Garbus, received (um) mixed reviews.

Then, in April 2024, it was announced that Harry and Meghan would be producing two new Netflix shows with their company Archewell productions — one about lifestyle and one about polo.

Now that we have a release date for With Love, Meghan, we're waiting to see when Harry drops the trailer for his polo show.

Perhaps he'll make an Instagram return as well, or send his friends mallets for publicity like Meghan did with her jam. The possibilities are truly endless.
