Meghan Markle has postponed the launch date for her new Netflix series until March 4, it has been confirmed.
Eight-part series With Love, Meghan was previously set to air on Netflix on January 15 but, due to the devastating wildfires currently ravaging California, the Duchess of Sussex has decided to delay the launch.
Although many fans share that they are “heartbroken” by the delay, Meghan, 43, has been praised by many for her “heart of gold” in the decision.
Taking to X, one fan commented: “She has a heart of gold! We’ll be sat until March 4th and respect the Duchess’ request! Please continue to say a prayer for California!”
Another commented: “This woman is always thinking of others, like she really does have one of the biggest hearts [and is] always thinking of others and their needs first. [watery-eyed emoji] [purple-heart emoji].”
A third commented: “This is why I will always defend Meghan [Markle] and [Prince] Harry. Their kindness, compassion and always trying to help those in need.”
A fourth wrote: “Very thoughtful of her and we completely understand. [red-heart emoji].”
In support of Meghan, another fan commented: “Very thoughtful of Meghan. Always thinking of others. Can’t wait for March and will definitely be watching.”
Meghan issued a statement on Sunday – which was three days before the series was scheduled to debut – reading: “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.”
With Love, Meghan, which was filmed in Montecito but not at the home she shares with Prince Harry – will reportedly include tributes to the California-based royal’s home state and her strong connection to it.
On Friday, January 10, Meghan and Harry met with victims of the LA wildfires and emergency services personnel trying to tackle the devastation.
The couple – who share two young children aged five and three – helped staff at the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena to serve meals and distribute essential supplies to victims of the Eaton fire.
