Meghan Markle postpones her highly anticipated Netflix cooking show, “With Love, Meghan,” to support wildfire victims in California.

Meghan Markle has made a significant decision just days before the premiere of her Netflix cooking show, “With Love, Meghan,” postponing its release to March 4, 2025. Initially set to debut on January 15, the Duchess of Sussex chose to delay the show in light of the devastating wildfires ravaging Southern California, where she has deep ties.

In a statement to People magazine, Meghan expressed gratitude to her Netflix partners for their understanding. “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.

The delay comes after Meghan and Prince Harry jointly released a public message urging people to open their homes to evacuees and donate essential items to those affected by the fires. The royal couple highlighted the widespread devastation, with tens of thousands of families losing homes and basic necessities as wildfires continue to devastate entire communities in the region.

“The wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighbourhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centres, and so much more,” Meghan and Harry stated on their official website. “A state of emergency has been issued.”

In their message, they implored others to provide shelter for displaced friends, family, and pets. They also encouraged checking on elderly or disabled neighbours to offer assistance where needed, and reminded the public to donate clothing, toys, and other essentials to help those who have lost everything.

While the decision to postpone the premiere of her Netflix series may have been a tough one for Meghan, it reflects her ongoing commitment to charitable causes and her desire to put the needs of others before her own professional milestones.
