The UK launch of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's highly anticipated Netflix series has encountered an unexpected hurdle. Her lifestyle show, 'With Love', has been notably absent from the schedules of British broadcaster Magic FM, despite its recent debut on the platform in the United States.
The programme, which marks Meghan's first major project under the couple's lucrative Archewell Productions deal with Netflix, is a heartfelt exploration of cooking, gardening, and entertaining. It was widely expected to receive a UK broadcast following its stateside release.
A Surprising Omission for UK Audiences
When approached for comment, a spokesperson for Magic FM confirmed the station's decision, stating, "We can confirm we are not planning to run the series on Magic." No specific reasoning was provided for the omission, leaving industry observers and the public to speculate.
This development is particularly striking given the significant media attention and public interest that typically surrounds any project involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The decision by a major UK radio network to pass on the content is being viewed by some as a notable commercial snub.
Inside 'With Love': Meghan's Personal Project
The series promises an intimate look into Meghan's personal passions. Early reports describe it as more than a standard lifestyle show; it's framed as a labour of love where Meghan shares recipes, garden tips, and hosting ideas that are close to her heart.
The project aligns with themes Meghan has long been associated with, including community, friendship, and the joys of home life. Its focus on the simple acts of cooking and gathering with loved ones is seen as a deliberate shift towards more positive, personal storytelling after the couple's various documentary revelations.
For now, British fans eager to see the Duchess's foray into lifestyle television will have to wait for another UK broadcaster to potentially pick up the series or seek it out on Netflix, marking a curious delay in its journey across the Atlantic.
