Meghan Markle's TV show attempt on Netflix is being shown flames.
Misfortune and criticism mark Meghan Markle's TV try who keeps being on the losing end with her upcoming cooking and gardening series on Netflix which has now been postponed.
With Love, Meghan was originally set to debut on Netflix today but the video streaming service was forced to postpone it and announced that it will now only start on 4 March.
According to Netflix, the postponement of With Love, Meghan is due to the devastating wildfires that destroyed large parts of Los Angeles, with insiders saying Netflix also realises that it has a big image and perception problem around Meghan's latest TV show.
This is on the heels of the flop that has been Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's recent polo-playing series on Netflix, also produced through their Archewell Productions, which tanked.
The actress and Dutchess of Sussex lives with her husband Prince Harry in California but their expensive home and estate in Montecito hasn't been affected by the ongoing wildfires ravaging Los Angeles.
Over the weekend the two helped console and handed out food parcels at a Pasadena conference centre to Los Angeles residents who have lost everything in the fire and were snapped by cameras.
The American actress Justine Bateman slammed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as "disaster tourists".
"Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a repulsive photo op they achieved. They are 'touring the damage'? Are they politicians now? They don't live here, they are tourists. Disaster tourists," the Family Ties actress said.
In a press statement Netflix said that Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan has been postponed.
"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 Markle says in a prepared Netflix quote.
Insiders say the decision to postpone the series wasn't Meghan's idea but Netflix.
It dawned on Netflix that viewers are apparently not keen or interested in seeing With Love, Meghan.
Immediately after Netflix released the trailer for the 8-episode With Love, Meghan, an avalanche of comments followed from people criticising Meghan's pretentious-looking style and the clearly overly perfectionistic stylings of her surroundings for the show.
Meghan Markle was slammed for her "tone-deaf" approach.
People are wondering why Meghan thought it was a good idea to show how she bakes, mixes drinks and do decorating while ordinary viewers are struggling amidst difficult economic circumstances and trying to keep food on the table.
Even before and without the fires ranging in Los Angeles, Meghan Markle's Netflix series came across in the trailer as someone living inside a highly-curated bubble, laughing and enjoying the high-life with wealthy friends in front of the cameras.
Phil Dampier, author of Royally Suited: Harry and Meghan in their Own Words, told a British publication that the timing of Meghan Markle's Netflix series couldn't be worse.
The timing of Meghan's Netflix show could hardly be worse as hundreds of people have lost their homes in the terrible fires."
"The last thing anyone is interested in is a programme about having friends round to eat canapés or arrange flowers when the city is going up in flames and people have lost everything."
"I think it would be sensible for Netflix to pull the show and bring it back in the summer when things are a bit better but the devastation is so bad that it will take years if not decades to rebuild some of the communities."
