Breaking News: Meghan Markle Postpones ‘With Love, Meghan’ Netflix Show Release Amid L.A. Wildfires…..See More

The duchess, alongside Prince Harry, has been on the ground volunteering in California’s wildfire relief efforts.

As members of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s community continue to feel the impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles, the duchess has made the decision to postpone the forthcoming release of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, in order to further support those impacted by the natural disaster.

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,” Markle said in a January 12 statement.

The series, which according to People acts as a love letter to “the beauty of Southern California,” was scheduled to premiere on Netflix on January 15, and has since been pushed up to March 4.

After several celebrities in the entertainment community—which included members like Jamie Lee Curtis, Paris Hilton, Mandy Moore, Leighton Meester, Adam Brody and more—came forward about losing their homes to the fires or knowing people who were directly affected by the devastation, Markle and Harry released an emotional statement on their website that read, “In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers, and so much more—affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life. A state of emergency has been issued.”

The message also encouraged its readers to open up their homes as a “safe haven” for anyone displaced by the fires. “If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do,” the statement continued. “And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating.”

In the time since Harry and Markle’s statement, the pair has been on the ground helping out with relief efforts. Speaking with Fox 11 News, Mayor Victor Gordo detailed how the couple had been helping out. “It’s great people, great personalities and great heart for them to come out here and meet with the first responders, meet with the people who were affected,” the mayor told the news station. “It’s very important.”

He continued, “They want to be as helpful as they can be … we visited with some of the affected families in some of the burned-out areas in Pasadena and Altadena. They took the time to meet the people that are affected and spent time. They’re just very caring people who are concerned for their friends and neighbors.”
