Meghan Markle's return to Netflix was pushed back due to the ongoing Southern California wildfires. The Duchess of Sussex revealed that her new series, "With Love, Meghan," which was set for a Jan.

15 premiere on the streaming giant, was rescheduled for a March 4 release date. Markle, a Los Angeles native who attended the all-girls Catholic Immaculate Heart High School, requested to move the debut of her show due to the ongoing fires, including the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire. "At the request of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and with the full support of Netflix, the release of the show — a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of Southern California — has been moved from its previously announced January premiere date to March 4, due to the ongoing devastation caused by the Los Angeles wildfires," a Netflix representative confirmed to Fox News Digital. "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," Markle said.

On Friday, Markle and husband Prince Harry supported victims and relief efforts while meeting with Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo. "In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.

A state of emergency has been issued," the pair wrote on their website Thursday. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex listed organizations on their site that are actively helping wildfire victims, including the Animal Wellness Foundation, which is housing and caring for evacuated animals; Compton Cowboys, which is providing emergency transportation services.
