A royal expert has revealed whether or not Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, will survive its two-month delay due to the wildfires.
The series, which will showcase Meghan cooking various recipes and taking on hosting projects with famous friends like Mindy Kaling, was set to debut on January 15, but was delayed until March due to the wildfires currently ravaging California.
Some critics questioned her motives for delaying the launch, but insiders recently told People it was an ‘easy decision’ for the Duchess, who used to run popular lifestyle blog The Tig.
‘I don’t think she could imagine putting out a show centered on joy and hosting when so many people in her home state no longer have homes to host people in,’ a source told the outlet this week.
‘I think it’s sad that critics are saying she’s only doing this to avoid the fires overshadowing her show. We’re all human, and we’re dealing with a catastrophe.’
However, according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the show may face some difficulties, as he called the trailer, which dropped this month, ‘so superficial and silly.’
‘How many, I wondered, will watch all eight episodes? It may be aimed at stay at home moms, but will they stay with it?’ Fitzwilliams told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘It is so badly scripted, the gushing poses and the garish colors are more reminiscent of a kindergarten,’ he continued.

‘California is currently being ravaged by cataclysmic wildfires which have forced Netflix to postpone the launch of the series. You do wonder if With Love, Meghan is worth saving and launching in future months,’ he pondered. ‘It might well not be.’
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams weighed in on the new show to DailyMail.com
He added that if the show was dumped, the two ‘would get their just desserts for their vindictive campaign against the royal family.’
In 2020, the couple stepped down from their roles as senior working members of the British Royal Family and made the move to California.
Markle later sat down for a tell-all interview about her time in the Royal Family with Oprah in 2021, and in 2022, they premiered a Netflix docuseries about their love story, titled Harry & Meghan.
However, despite his skepticism, Fitzwilliams believes that fans of Prince Harry and Markle will ‘love’ the new show, but claims its appeal to the mainstream is ‘highly questionable’ based on the series’ trailer.
The series comes as Markle is in process of launching her lifestyle brand, American Riveria Orchard, something she teased last year by sending out packages of her products, like jars of jam, to A-listers Kris Jenner and Chrissy Teigen.
But Fitzwilliams claims to know who definitely won’t be watching – and that’s the members of the British Royal Family, like Prince William and Princess Kate.
‘I doubt its senior members would have watched the series and, almost certainly, they will be supremely indifferent to its fate,’ he explained.

Over the last week, Markle and husband Prince Harry have taken up efforts to help victims of the ongoing California wildfires
‘I suspect if it had gone ahead, a courtier would have watched it and reported, but given that the King and Princess of Wales are battling cancer, it is most unlikely that Meghan would be foolish enough to launch another attack on the royal family,’ Fitzwilliams added.
‘The Sussexes are famous for nothing else, but their lack of talent is painfully obvious and With Love, Meghan looks out of touch with the real world.’
Over the last week, Markle and husband Prince Harry have taken up efforts to help victims of the ongoing California wildfires.
The couple, who live 90 miles away from the Californian city in Montecito near Santa Barbara, were spotted on Friday handing out food packages and speaking to survivors of the wildfires.
However, some took issue with their efforts, like Hollywood actress Justine Bateman, who blasted them on X, formerly Twitter, as ‘disaster tourists’ and said that they were only there for a ‘photo op.’
Sources have since told Page Six that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex find her comments ‘offensive’ and Meghan’s heart is ‘broken’ due to her close ties with LA, including growing up in the area.
The source told the outlet: ‘It’s offensive to Meghan and Harry that anybody would think this is merely a photo opportunity.
‘Meghan was born and raised in Los Angeles so this is, and always will be, home to her.’
