Meghan Markle has debuted the full-length trailer for her upcoming Netflix documentary series titled, With Love, Meghan.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, took to her newly-created Instagram page, @meghan, which has already amassed over 800 thousand followers, to share a snippet of the new show and it shows Meghan like never before.

In the video, there are various different shots of the Duchess filming in a gorgeous-looking home in California, likely close to where she lives with her husband, Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

The series is evidently going to be lifestyle-based, in keeping with her brand that she launched last year titled American Rivera Orchard. It'll focus on her passions such as food, gardening, wellness, quality time with loved ones and more.

"We're not in the pursuit of perfection, we're in the pursuit of joy," says Meghan during one poignant moment.

She also says during an inspirational voiceover: "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it, surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.

"This is about connecting with friends, making new friends, and just learning." She adds: "Love is in the details."

Another lovely moment shows Meghan's excitement as she dons full beekeeper protective gear and tends to an apiary. She then tells the camera, "Look how much honey we have!"

Most of the clips feature Meghan showing off her impressive culinary skills in the kitchen. The Duchess is seen baking cakes, cooking focaccia bread and serving up delightful ice cream sundaes for her guests.

Clearly an avid student, Meghan also invites some celebrity chefs into the cooking space, no doubt offering their take on some excellent recipes. Another moment in the trailer shows Meghan picking out fresh fruit and vegetables from a vegetable garden. As an avid lover of organic foods, it's no surprise the Duchess likes to grow her produce.

Chefs and restaurateurs who will have a starring role in the show as well are Roy Choi, Ramon Velazquez and Alice Waters.

Meghan's first major solo project for Netflix offers an intimate and personal look into her world.

Meghan launched her Instagram with this video

Meghan's exciting trailer release comes a day after she launched her own Instagram page to mark the beginning of a new year and seemingly a new era for the royal pair.

In her first post, the mother-of-two opted to share a personal reel which was captured by her husband, Prince Harry.

The sweet clip was filmed near their home in Montecito and showed Meghan writing "2025" in the sand while wearing a chic all-white outfit.
