Meghan Markle Discusses Netflix Show, Family Choices

At the 2025 TIME100 Summit, Meghan Markle explained her decision to film 'With Love, Meghan' at a Montecito farmhouse owned by Tom and Sherrie Cipolla, rather than her own home, to minimize disruption and maintain her children's routines. She described her home as a 'safe haven' and emphasized the importance of setting boundaries for her family's well-being and her own mental health. The show, which features lifestyle tips and guest stars, faced mixed critical reviews and allegations of being 'unrelatable,' but it achieved strong global viewership and secured a second season. Markle addressed criticisms by highlighting her background, work ethic, and desire to model resilience for her children. The series continues to focus on family balance, and upcoming episodes will feature guests such as chef José Andrés. Markle remains committed to protecting her family's privacy and prioritizing her children's upbringing alongside her professional pursuits.
