Duchess’s culinary series release overshadows Prince Michael of Kent’s milestone
Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, is stirring attention as its January 15th premiere date coincides with a key royal milestone—Prince Michael of Kent’s 80th birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex announced the highly anticipated eight-episode series this week, offering a glimpse into her culinary and homemaking expertise. However, the timing of the release has sparked conversations about whether it might overshadow the royal celebration.
The trailer, set to The Lovin’ Spoonful's upbeat tune Do You Believe in Magic, captures Meghan juggling lemons, gardening, and hosting celebrity guests like Mindy Kaling, who received a jar of the Duchess’s American Riviera Orchard Jam. The series highlights Meghan’s focus on “elevating the ordinary” through food, friendship, and personal connections.
Despite setbacks with earlier Netflix projects, including the scrapped animated series Pearl, the Duchess remains optimistic about her £80 million deal, using this feel-good series to carve a new chapter in her post-royal career.
As With Love, Meghan prepares to launch, the Duchess’s return to the spotlight is poised to blend Hollywood charm with heartfelt simplicity, even as it competes for attention with a significant day in royal history.
