**Montecito, CA** – Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, has finally released her highly anticipated Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” after a delay caused by the Los Angeles wildfires. The eight-part series offers a candid portrayal of the Duchess’s life, revealing previously unknown aspects of her upbringing and her family’s embrace of the Sussex surname.

The series features a surprising revelation: Meghan’s fondness for fast food as a latchkey kid, frequently enjoying meals from chains like El Pollo Loco, Taco Bell, and Jack in the Box. This detail, shared in a conversation with actress Mindy Kaling, underscores the series’ aim to present a more relatable and personal image of the Duchess.

A significant portion of the series focuses on the family’s adoption of “Sussex” as their surname. Meghan emphasizes the deep personal meaning this holds, particularly for her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. She highlights the importance of sharing a family name, stating, “This is our family name, our little family name.”

While the series offers a personal look into Meghan’s life, it also touches upon her entrepreneurial endeavors. The Duchess discusses her experiences launching her lifestyle brand, “As Ever,” acknowledging challenges faced, including trademark issues and the rebranding from “American Riviera Orchard.” She also shares her vision for the brand, hoping to create a multi-generational legacy for her daughter, Princess Lilibet.

Royal insiders speculate that the series serves as a vital step in revitalizing the Sussexes’ $100 million Netflix deal, following the mixed success of previous projects. While their documentary, “Harry & Meghan,” was a global hit, subsequent productions failed to achieve comparable viewership.

“With Love, Meghan” is filmed on an $8 million estate near the Sussexes’ Montecito home and aims to showcase a different side of Meghan, away from the traditional royal image. The Duchess herself identifies more as a female founder and entrepreneur than an influencer, a perspective clearly reflected in the series.
