Meghan Markle is wasting no time making her mark in 2025.
Just a day after returning to Intagram with a reel which quickly notched up almost 6 million views and counting, showing her playing on a beach and writing “2025” in the sand, the Duchess of Sussex dropped the trailer for her new Netflix cooking and lifestyle show With Love, Meghan.
“I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it,” she shares in the two-minute trailer which shows her welcoming celebrity guests, cooking, flower arranging and wandering in the garden.
The series looks set to take viewers inside Meghan’s Montecito life – but not exactly her home. The show was shot in a rented residence not too far from the home she shares with husband Prince Harry and their two children Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
While there was no sign of the kiddos in the trailer Harry features for a second in the trailer, sipping on what appear to be champagne cocktails while hugging his wife. It certainly seems like we’ll be seeing more of him throughout the series.
Or course, Markle remains a divisive figure, with people either loving or hating her. That means this show is bound to be one of the most talked about – one way or another – this year.
So read on for everything you need to know.
What is With Love, Meghan about?
With Love, Meghan is about, well, Meghan.
It’s about how the Duchess of Sussex connects with friends, how she lets people know she’s thinking about them, her skills in the kitchen and how viewers can incorporate a little bit of this lifestyle into our own lives.
According to Netflix’s news website Tudum, Markle wil reveal “how even the most minute details can help add beauty to our lives and, most importantly, help bring people together.”
“Whether it’s preparing take-home gifts for guests or adding a sprinkle of edible flowers to breakfast, it’s truly the thought that counts,” it goes on.
In the trailer, Markle says she knows how to surprise people “with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them”
“I’m going to share some little tips and tricks. I see what colour I gravitate to, and everything goes from there,” she adds.
“We’re not in the pursuit of perfection. We’re in the pursuit of joy. I have to get it totally wrong, to get it totally right.”
Who else will appear in With Love, Meghan?
Not surprisingly, Markle appears to have lined up a number of celebrity guests to join her at her home and receive some of her “joy”
The Office’s Mindy Kaling, a long-time friend of Markle’s, is served up a slice of decadent sponge cake in the trailer. “What?! This is probably one of the most glamourous moments of my life,” the actress exclaims.
Also donning the apron with Markle in the kitchen is celebrity chef Roy Choi. Californian culinary icon Alice Waters appears in the trailer taking in the lush garden of the Montecito home owned by local millionaires Tom and Sherrie Cipolla.
Another famous faces joining Markle is is fellow Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, who played Dana Scott on the hit show. Maybe she’ll get her hands on some of that much hyped jam of from he American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand.
Does Meghan Markle have Instagram?
Yes she does. After a five year break from the platform, the Duchess returned with a post to her account @meghan.
Her first post was a short black and white video shot by husband Harry of her running along a beach, laughing, and writing ‘2025’ in the wet sand.
Undoubtedly, the return to social media and the new Netflix show will see activity ramp up around her American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand. It was launched in 2024 to much fanfare but not much action.
When will Meghan Markle’s Netflix cooking show With Love, Meghan premiere?
Meghan Markle’s new show With Love, Meghan was set to premiere on Netflix on Wednesday, January 15, but due to the LA fires that date has been put back to March 4.
‘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 in a statement.
There are eight, 33-minute episodes which have been co-produced by Markle and Harry’s Archewell Production.
