Meghan Markle made a conscious choice not to film her Netflix series With Love, Meghan at her home in Montecito, California.
This decision seems to reflect her desire for privacy and a clear boundary between her personal and professional life.
By choosing a location nearby but not at her actual residence, she ensured that her home remained off-limits from the public eye, maintaining a sense of distance between her family life and her public projects.
Meghan Markle, 43, explained her decision to film away from her Montecito home in an interview with People, published on March 5. “I wanted to protect that safe haven,” she said. “We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments—putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day.” For Meghan, maintaining privacy and quality time with her family is a top priority, especially in the midst of her public career.
Netflix Series: With Love, Meghan
Similar to Ina Garten and Martha Stewart, the Duchess of Sussex appears to be taking on the role of a contemporary housewife in With Love, Meghan, the most recent production from Prince Harry and Meghan’s long-term agreement with Netflix.
It was strangely interested in seeing Meghan on screen again after years of following her journey, from her days as an actress on Suits to the intense scrutiny she endured while she was a member of the royal family.
This time, she would be giving advice on how to make scented beeswax candles, arrange gorgeous floral arrangements, or make everything from raspberry preserves to homemade dog biscuits using berries from their Montecito garden.
Sadly, Meghan has received a good deal of criticism for With Love, especially after a video went viral in which she asks Mindy Kaling, “You know I’m Sussex now?”
This and other incidents have sparked some negative responses, with many people doubting her new professional path. Nevertheless, I can’t help but feel sorry for Meghan. Her decision to enter the homemaking industry may not have been the best one for her, but let’s not forget why she came here in the first place.
Meghan used to be a member of the royal family, which many people would consider their ideal job. However, she eventually lost that life due to persistent bigotry and bullying.
