The official description of the show reads: “This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old.
“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected.”She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”
The filming location
The Duchess of Sussex reportedly hired a home close to her Montecito mansion to film the episodes for ‘With Love, Meghan’.
In the short trailer, Meghan can be seen in a beautiful kitchen, which was originally believed to be in the home that she shares with and their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
However, this is now confirmed to not be true as that Meghan instead was filmed in a kitchen and home that she does not own for the eight-episode series.
The MailOnline reported that the home that was used for the filming was two miles from her own mansion. It sits on an idyllic £5million ($6.1million) estate owned by Tom and Sherrie Cipolla, a couple who run in the high society circles of the American Riviera.
Celebrity appearances
Although she is the star of the show, Meghan’s series will also feature some of her friends including Mindy Kaling. Mindy also featured on Meghan’s podcast Archetypes in 2022 and has been friends with the 43-year-old for some time.
Meghan’s former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer also featured in the trailer.
Renowned chef Roy Choi, who previously collaborated with Meghan, is also expected to make an appearance. A third suspected feature is is Alice Waters, who is a famous chef and activist known for her advocacy of organic and sustainable cooking. With the show centered around food, lifestyle and wellness, Alice is deemed a perfect fit for the show.
Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Harry and Meghan’s multi-millionaire neighbour Vicky Tsai, who sold her beauty brand Tatcha to Unilever in 2019, are also both reported to make an appearance.
Although they did not feature in the trailer, the Mirror also reported that makeup artist Daniel Martin – who is a close friend of Meghan – Delfina Blaquier and Tracy Robbins could also make appearances.
