Meghan Markle's surprising reason for not filming her Netflix show at her Montecito mansion
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle recently premiered her exclusive Netflix series With Love, Meghan, and it's already generated a ton of mixed reviews. That said, many fans are questioning the show's production, wondering why Markle decided not to film it in her stunning Montecito mansion.
Well, the Duchess has her reasons!
In a recent interview with
People magazine, Markle explains why she decided to film the series in a separate rental location that resembles their own space.
Here is the official explanation from Markle:
"I wanted to protect that safe haven," she says. "We're a close-knit family, and I love those moments- putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day."
She adds, "Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that's a lot of people to have in your house!"
Oh my goodness Meghan Markle!
Markle has always been known for her quirky personality, and she clearly prioritizes her privacy, which is understandable.
With Love, Meghan, invites friends and famous guests to a beautiful California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips -- a unique premise that has sparked mixed reviews.
Markle's ambitious project is a unique approach, but the overall reception hasn't been good among viewers.

Perhaps if she filmed it in her actual Montecito mansion, it could have lead to better reviews and more social media buzz.
Something about filming the show in a rental location takes away from the overall authenticity, but we'll let you be the judge!
