Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle TV show will premiere on Netflix just one day before the anniversary of Princess Kate’s major surgery. This coincidence once again raises questions about the tense relationship between the two royal daughters-in-law.
The first teaser of Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle show on Netflix has revealed some exciting details. Just one day after returning to Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex announced a promotional video for the show “With Love, Meghan,” set to air in mid-January. The clip shows the former actress inviting friends and famous guests to her California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening, and party-hosting tips.
The eight-episode series is scheduled to premiere on January 15, just one day before Princess Kate’s somber anniversary. On January 16 last year, Princess Kate had to be hospitalized for major abdominal surgery. The Palace has not disclosed many details about the Princess of Wales’ health issues due to her privacy rights. However, this marked the beginning of a challenging period for the future queen.
During Princess Kate’s absence, many conspiracy theories emerged online about her condition. Speculation reached a peak when a photo of Princess Kate with her three children, George (11), Charlotte (9), and Louis (6), was released on Mother’s Day, seemingly edited digitally. Some news outlets requested the removal of the photo, and Princess Kate herself admitted she had edited the image using Photoshop. She apologized for any confusion caused by this action. However, the altered image only fueled further rumors online.
Finally, these theories were put to rest when Princess Kate made a heartfelt statement to the nation. She explained that after her surgery, post-operative tests revealed “cancer,” and she began a preventative chemotherapy regimen. This required her to temporarily step back from royal duties for a significant period. Since then, she has completed her treatment and returned to work.
Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show is part of the Sussexes’ long-term deal with the streaming giant. “With Love, Meghan” will take the Duchess back to her roots and is expected to be a huge hit with her loyal fans who have followed her journey long before she met Prince Harry. Many years before her relationship with Harry began, Meghan ran a successful lifestyle blog called The Tig, which she shut down as her relationship with her current husband became more serious. The Tig had thousands of regular readers and covered everything from travel to health.
Meghan Markle’s new show will focus on gardening, cooking, crafts, and much more. “Old and new” famous friends will join Meghan on her journey to share the best “tips and tricks” to elevate everyday life. Netflix explains: “Meghan reveals how even the smallest details can enhance the beauty of our lives and, most importantly, help bring people together. Whether it’s preparing a gift for guests or adding a touch of edible flowers to breakfast, these are truly precious things.”
Filmed in Montecito, the eight-episode series will feature famous chefs and Meghan’s celebrity friends. This new project marks her return to Instagram after seven years of abandoning her personal account. Meghan made her return to social media with a sweet video in which she wrote ‘2025’ in the sand. It is reported that the video was filmed by Prince Harry himself.
The release of the new show is likely to generate headlines worldwide. It may also divert attention away from Princess Kate as she approaches the anniversary of one of the toughest periods of her life. Prince Harry and Meghan have been repeatedly accused of “overshadowing” important moments for Princess Kate. Royal expert Jennie Bond points out that the couple’s shocking announcement about stepping away from royal life in 2020 was made just one day before Princess Kate’s birthday. In 2023, Princess Kate’s birthday also coincided with the release of Harry’s bombshell memoir “Spare,” which revealed details of the Duke’s life in the royal family.
