Meghan Markle makes huge announcement in rare post day after returning to Instagram

Meghan Markle has made another huge announcement online, just hours following her unexpected return to social media.

Today (2 January), she has released the trailer for her very own self-fronted lifestyle television series Love, Meghan, which is set to land on Netflix in the coming weeks.

Announcing the series on Instagram, she penned in the caption: "I have been so excited to share this with you!

"I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a fantastic new year!

"Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support - and fun!

"As ever, Meghan."

The trailer begins with Meghan discussing her love of 'elevating' - whether that be food, visits from friends or travelling - whilst foraging berries in what is presumed to be the garden of her Montecito, California home.

Several clips then see her whipping up dishes in her kitchen, including humous, a sponge cake, and another trifle-like dessert.

The trailer then sees her welcoming over several big-name pals, including writer and The Office US star Mindy Calling.

According to Netflix, the series will also feature the likes of Roy Choi and Alice Waters, as well as several acclaimed chefs to help her out with her cooking, and special friends to the family.

According to Tudum - Netflix's accompanying website - the premise for the show is as follows: "In With Love, Meghan, we join Meghan in the kitchen, garden — and even at the beehive — as she prepares to host friends both old and new.

"Sharing some of her favorite tips and tricks for cooking, gardening, crafting, and more, Meghan reveals how even the most minute details can help add beauty to our lives and, most importantly, help bring people together.

"Whether it’s preparing take-home gifts for guests or adding a sprinkle of edible flowers to breakfast, it’s truly the thought that counts."
