Meghan Markle has avoided clashing with a milestone birthday within the Royal Family after the Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix series was postponed.
The original release date for the new series, titled ‘With Love, Meghan’, was scheduled for Wednesday, January 15.
However, the Duchess of Sussex and Netflix postponed its release until March 4 due to the ongoing wildfire crisis in California, Meghan’s home state.
January 15 is also a milestone for Princess Michael of Kent, who is celebrating her 80th birthday today.
