Meghan Markle has been forced to deal with another setback after a decision was taken to postpone episodes of her new podcast series.
The Duchess of Sussex had already postponed the launch of her Netflix lifestyle series “With Love, Meghan” until March 4, as she focuses on supporting those affected by California wildfires.
A series of new podcast episodes featuring Meghan has also been delayed, according to Hello.
The decision comes as the duchess prioritises relief efforts in her home state, where wildfires have forced residents to evacuate their homes.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been actively supporting wildfire victims, distributing food parcels and offering comfort to evacuees in Pasadena.
“They just want to help,” a source said responding to claims their efforts were a PR stunt.
The duchess made an additional visit to Altadena Girls Fire Recovery, where she delivered lunch and beauty products to those affected.
Meanwhile, the duke met with firefighters in Salinas to show support for emergency responders tackling the crisis.

Earlier this month, former “Family Ties” star Jane Bateman labelled the couple “disaster tourists” after they were photographed distributing food and supplies to victims outside the Pasadena Convention Center.
A source close to the couple slammed Bateman’s public criticism of their efforts to help.
“It’s offensive to Meghan and Harry that anybody would think this is merely a photo opportunity,” a source told Page Six.
The source emphasised that Meghan, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, considers the city “home” and is heartbroken over the devastation.

The source added: “They have dedicated countless hours to volunteering, long before the media even caught wind of their involvement.”
A separate source told People: “Delaying the release of With Love, Meghan was likely an easy decision for her.
“I don’t think she could imagine putting out a show centered on joy and hosting when so many people in her home state no longer have homes to host people in.
“I think it’s sad that critics are saying she’s only doing this to avoid the fires overshadowing her show. We’re all human, and we’re dealing with a catastrophe.”
