Meghan Markle’s Reality TV Show, “With Love, Meghan,” Premieres January 15 on Netflix
For nearly a year, Meghan Markle has been teasing a return to the type of lifestyle media she once posted as a food and travel blogger on her now-shuttered website, The Tig. On Thursday, the Duchess of Sussex announced that her show will be called With Love, Meghan and will premiere on January 15.
“I have been so excited to share this with you!” the duchess said. “I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a fantastic new year!”
Last year, the streamer revealed that Meghan was working on her show with Leah Hariton, who served as showrunner for Selena Gomez’s cooking show Selena + Chef. In a trailer posted to the Instagram account Meghan started on January 1, the duchess dons an apron in the kitchen, wanders in a garden, visits a flower shop, and wears beekeeper garb, and more, to the tune of the 1965 hit “Do You Believe in Magic” by The Lovin’ Spoonful.
“I’ve always believed in taking something ordinary and elevating it, and surprising people with moments to let them know I was thinking about them,” Meghan says in the trailer voiceover. “I’m going to share some little tips and tricks.”
The trailer also includes a brief cameo from her husband, Prince Harry and two of their dogs, along with scenes featuring Meghan’s former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, makeup artist Daniel Martin, literary agent and bookstore owner Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, actor Mindy Kaling, LA-based chef Roy Choi. According to Netflix, restaurateur and cookbook author Alice Waters will also be a guest on the show, which was filmed mainly in Montecito, the small Santa Barbara enclave where Meghan and Harry live with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The first sign that Meghan was planning her official return to lifestyle media came in March 2024, when she made a website for American Riviera Orchard. Though samples of her the brand’s strawberry jam went out to a handful of Meghan’s friends, the brand’s official launch has been delayed due in part to copyright issues and, reportedly, a desire to launch alongside the Netflix show.
