Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, invites viewers into a beautiful Montecito kitchen, but not the one in her own home. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, released the official trailer for her upcoming lifestyle series on January 2nd, offering a glimpse into the show set to premiere on January 15th. While filmed in Montecito, California, where Meghan and Prince Harry reside with their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, the series was actually shot at a nearby mansion.
The show features Meghan in the stunning kitchen, gardens, and orchards of the luxurious estate. The trailer showcases her working in a bright, spacious kitchen, toasting with friends, and sharing a sweet moment with Prince Harry on an outdoor patio.

Netflix describes the show as a series where “Meghan invites friends old and new to roll up their sleeves and join her in the kitchen, garden, and beyond.” Each episode focuses on connection, whether through sharing personal tips and tricks or learning something new. Guests include acclaimed chefs like Roy Choi and Alice Waters, alongside other special friends. All eight episodes of With Love, Meghan are scheduled to release on January 15th.

The Duchess expressed her excitement about the project on her Instagram, stating, “I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it.”
With Love, Meghan marks the Duchess of Sussex’s fifth creative project for Netflix, where she and Prince Harry signed a lucrative deal in 2020. Filming in Montecito allowed Meghan to stay close to her family and the Santa Barbara enclave they’ve called home since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

In a 2022 interview, Meghan described their Montecito home as a place of “joy,” “exhale,” and “calm,” a sanctuary where they feel “free.” With Love, Meghan premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, January 15th.
