With love, Meghan, Netflix
Having postponed the original release date in January because of the widespread fires that devastated California, the Duchess of Sussex’s highly-anticipated how-to series will finally land on Netflix at the beginning of March.

Blending practical classes in jam-making and gardening with candid conversation with friends, such as Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, and Alice Waters, this eight-part series is an exclusive insight into what the Duchess gets up to at home. As Netflix says: “She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”
