- Meghan doesn't cook in her own home
- Rented villa featured in documentary
- Authenticity of the documentary questioned
The upcoming release of the Netflix documentary 'With Love, Meghan' has already sparked controversy. While viewers were expecting a cozy, homely setting with Duchess Meghan (43) hosting her guests, it turns out the production is far from authentic. The filming didn’t take place in Meghan's own home but in a rented villa.
Meghan doesn’t cook in her own home
The documentary's preview promises an intimate atmosphere, with Meghan Markle working alongside her guests in the kitchen and garden to create a feeling of closeness. However, the reality is quite different. The scenes were not shot in the kitchen of Prince Harry (40) and Meghan's Montecito estate but at a nearby rented villa.
Rented villa featured in documentary
According to 'The Daily Mail,' the filming took place in the kitchen of a villa just minutes away from Meghan's actual home. This property, owned by the Cipolla family, was rented specifically for the shoot.
The villa boasts an impressive setting, with eight acres of grounds featuring avocado trees and lemon groves. The luxury furnishings, including a £15,000 stove and £600 pans, were also sourced from this property.
Authenticity of the documentary questioned
These revelations raise doubts about the authenticity of the documentary. Photos released by Netflix and Meghan herself show a kitchen that differs from the one featured in 'Vogue' in 2021, further highlighting the contrast between the staged environment and the Duchess's actual home.
