The Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming series With Love, Meghan is set to launch on 15 January. The Duchess of Sussex’s return to Netflix in a carefully-curated cooking show featuring a slew of her famous LA pals promises viewers a glimpse of Meghan “at home”, showcasing the down-to-earth lifestyle she seemingly shares with Prince Harry.
However, the upcoming series With Love, Meghan, set to launch on 15 January, has been filmed in a kitchen and home that Ms Markle does not share with her royal husband nor their two children, Archie and Lillibet. Instead the sprawling £5m estate spotted in the trailer is two miles away from the royal couple’s sprawling £11m Montecito property, as reported by MailOnline.
The idyllic 4,500ft pad, owned by philanthropists Tom and Sherrie Cipolla, has four bedrooms and four bathrooms as well as avocado trees and lemon groves, all nestled in an exclusive gated community. It is the launchpad for Ms Markle’s attempt to channel TV homemaking expert Martha Stewart as she cooks and makes cocktails with celebrity pals such as Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and comedian Kaling.
The kitchen is a far cry from the set up most viewers will be used to as a smiling Ms Markle rustles up deserts for her friends in front of a £15,000 Thermador range cooker, with copper pans retailing between £200 to £600. In the first trailer for the new series, Ms Markle is also seen donning a beekeeper’s suit, high-fiving guests, making focaccia bread and hugging her husband in a joyous embrace.
