Meghan Markle postpones Netflix show release date

Earlier this week, Netflix announced that the Meghan’s new lifestyle show will now air in March.

Before the postponing, With Love, Meghan, was going to be releasing today (Wednesday, January 15). The eight-episode series showcases Meghan’s passion for lifestyle, creativity, and community.

“Produced by Meghan, With Love, Meghan blends practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old,” the show description on Netflix Tudum reads.

“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection, and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected.”

However, because of the devastating wildfires in LA, Meghan wanted to delay the premiere. She thanked Netflix in a statement.

“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,” she said.

Both Meghan and husband Prince Harry have been volunteering amid the wildfires to help those impacted.

Delaying the launch of Meghan Markle’s show ‘needed to happen’

Now, an expert has weighed in on Meghan’s decision to postpone the release date of the show.

Speaking exclusively to Royal Insider, Brand and Culture expert Nick Ede stated that the decision “needed to happen”.

It would have seemed tone deaf to have aired the show.

“The move from Meghan and Netflix to change the date of her new TV show With Love, Meghan is a move that needed to happen. As a resident of California who is caught in the middle of one of the worst natural disasters they have ever experienced, it would have seemed tone deaf to have aired the show,” Nick told us.

Nick then said that as the series will show fans the life of Meghan as well as that of Montecito and LA, “it would not have been at all appropriate” to air.

Meghan ‘will benefit in long run’ from delaying series

Nick then continued.

“She’s not the only one to make sure they are being respectful and sensitive at this time – other events like the Oscar Nominations have been postponed and The Grammys are going to fundraise at this year’s event,” he then told us.

“There will always be noise surrounding the work that Meghan does so although the show is being delayed to March all eyes will be on it when it eventually airs,” Nick then continued.

Real reason Queen Consort Camilla will change her royal title revealed: ‘It isn’t due to her popularity’

Queen Consort Camilla to undergo major title change

Last week it was revealed that Camilla will undergo a major title change at the coronation.

As reported by The Mirror last Thursday (March 16), Camilla will be dropping the ‘Consort’ from her Queen Consort title soon.

Once the coronation is done, the 75-year-old will reportedly be simply known as Queen Camilla going forwards.

The news was revealed when the coronation edition of the bible was leaked.

In it, it reads: “To commemorate the Coronation of their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. In the Abbey Church of St Peter, Westminster. The sixth day of May 2023.”

When Camilla first married Charles, it was expected that she would become Princess Consort when Charles became King.

However, as per the late Queen Elizabeth’s wishes, Camilla’s title was changed to Queen Consort when Charles took the throne.

Now it seems as though another tweak is in order for Camilla’s royal title.

Why is Queen Consort Camilla changing her title?

Now, the real reason behind Camilla’s title change has been revealed – and it’s nothing to do with her popularity.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam spoke exclusively to ED! about the decision to change Camilla’s title and the reasoning behind it.

“Camilla’s history with titles is unique,” he said.

“She was Princess of Wales but chose to be known as the Duchess of Cornwall,” he then continued.

” It was the official position that when Charles ascended the throne she would be known as Princess Consort, until the Queen’s intervention in the eve of her Platinum Jubilee.”

“She is Queen Consort, but it is a heavy handed title,” he then said.

Camilla title change not down to ‘popularity’

The royal expert then continued, saying: “None of the previous three Queen Consorts used it, Alexandra, Mary and Elizabeth were all known as Queen.”

“In the age of social media and the net bad habits such as calling Catherine – Kate Middleton persist,” he then said.

“It also makes sense to make a title easier to use, which is why the change is likely,” he then continued.

Richard then revealed at this point that the title change has nothing to do with popularity.

“It isn’t really linked to her personal popularity,” he said.

However, there is also another reason behind the change, according to the royal expert.

“Queen Consort Camilla sounds clunky so it will probably change,” he revealed.
