How Meghan Markle shows a VERY different side of herself in With Love, Meghan Netflix trailer

Featuring a California chic, laid back wardrobe, cocktail hour and the chirpy soundtrack of the Loving Spoonful, With Love, Meghan could easily be mistaken for a glitzy Nancy Meyers movie. The director of Parent Trap, It's Complicated and The Holiday, among other Hollywood blockbusters, favours the Golden State as the setting of many of her films, where female lead characters roam around in bright and airy open plan kitchens with white marble worktops.
So as Meghan, 43, invites her nearest and dearest into her 'home' (which was revealed to be a reality TV mansion down the road) and encourages viewers to find 'joy' in every day things in the series which lands on January 15, one could be forgiven for forgetting she also carved out an identity as a high-powered humanitarian after leaving The Firm.
Indeed, in the Sussexes' first Netflix series, the Duchess appears as an investor focusing on young, up-and-coming women, and an advocate for vaccine equity as she and Harry, both masked-up, attend a United Nations meeting to discuss equal distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine during the pandemic.
When Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals in January 2020, they promised to perform a 'progressive new role' within the monarchy. A philanthropic pair from the off, after inviting their wedding guests to donate to charity over giving them gifts, it seemed a natural progression that the Sussexes went on to found the Archewell Foundation, which continues to fund charitable projects around the world.
