Meghan Markle delays Netflix show to aid Los Angeles fire victims

The fires in Los Angeles have already destroyed nearly 5,700 hectares, killed 16 people, and damaged thousands of buildings, including the homes of Hollywood celebrities. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, through their Archewell foundation, support the victims by donating to aid those affected and by opening their homes in Montecito to evacuees. They have appealed through the media for people to check if their elderly and disabled neighbours need help.

The disaster in Los Angeles has affected many well-known people, including Paris Hilton and Mel Gibson. Hilton lost her home in Malibu, which she described as a personal tragedy, emphasizing her immense gratitude to the firefighters.

Meghan Markle decided to delay the premiere of her new cooking show on Netflix, "With Love, Meghan," due to the fires in Los Angeles. Initially planned for 15 January, the premiere has been postponed to 4 March to focus on aiding those affected by the fires.

I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California - Meghan said in a statement to "People" magazine.

Meghan and Harry are producing content for Netflix as part of a £80 million deal. Meghan's new programme will showcase her culinary skills and meetings with friends from California, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer. In the first trailer, we see the Duchess cooking, picking vegetables from the garden, and talking with friends.

The situation with the fires in Los Angeles is exceptionally dramatic. In addition to destroying thousands of homes, the fires continue to spread, causing enormous material losses. Despite the efforts of firefighters, they remain a serious threat.
