Meghan Markle spotted wearing blue and white stripes on visit to the farmer’s market in Montecito ‘while filming her Netflix show’
Meghan Markle was spotted picking up supplies at a farmer’s market in Montecito before heading into a car and driving off.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, opted for a casual look in a striped blue and white T-shirt as she browsed stalls in the upmarket Californian town, photos show.

The former actress, who is known for her penchant for striped clothing, looked in her element as she enjoyed the Californian sunshine, largely going unnoticed by passersby in the snaps taken last month.

After grabbing supplies, Meghan is believed to have headed to the Netflix rented estate to continue filming her upcoming cooking show.

The show, which is yet to receive a title or air date, will ‘celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’ and is part of Meghan and Harry’s $100million Netflix deal.

Meghan Markle has reportedly now wrapped up filming.

In conversation about the new project, a Hollywood source told The Daily Beast: ‘It all went well, and it is in the can.’

The show was filmed at a property two miles from Meghan’s Montecito mansion, which she and Prince Harry, 39, share with children Archie, two, and Lilibet, two.

Meghan was last week spotted in a Los Angeles park taking part in a photoshoot, spurring rumours of new material for the upcoming project.

The mother-of-two was caught on TikTok taking part in what fans speculated was a shoot for a new project.

The clip appeared to show the royal having the sleeve of her tracksuit adjusted by a stylist in Beverly Hills, near a popular celebrity-loved coffee spot called Alfred’s.

However, the Hollywood insider said it was unlikely related to the new project because the team had already ‘got everything’ they needed.

The project commenced filming days after Meghan sent out exclusive pots of homemade jam from her brand, American Riviera Orchard, to her nearest and dearest.

A film permit application exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com showed filming took place in two separate locations.

In April, Meghan, spent the day surrounded by the blooms of Florabundance, a florist 10-minutes drive from Montecito in the coastal California town of Carpinteria.

The day after, production trucks lined the driveway of a $5million property set in eight acres of avocado trees and lemon groves in a gated community in Montecito for filming.

The property is the home of Tom and Sherrie Cipolla – both fixtures on the Montecito society scene and generous donors to several good causes locally, including the Storyteller Center – a therapeutic preschool for children facing adversities.

They have hosted fundraisers for the centre at the same home where Meghan played house.

Tom, 75, and wife Sherrie, 69, parents to two adult children, have a property portfolio worth more than $20million, encompassing two dozen buildings in Los Angeles County and Santa Barbara.

The couple also runs a physical therapy practice that last year boasted sales in excess of $1.3million.

When approached by DailyMail.com Sherrie Cipolla declined to comment on the purpose of the film crew currently camped out in her home.

Meghan’s show will be directed by Michael Steed who worked on Anthony Bourdain’s Emmy-wnning Parts Unknown, and among the behind-the-camera staff is Leah Hariton, the showrunner for Selena Gomez’s HBO cooking show

The film permit obtained by DailyMail.com revealed that Alex Dandino, the production manager of that same show is also involved in Meghan’s entry into the culinary world, raising the possibility that she too will be joined by professional chefs for a cook-a-long.

The show is part of the couple’s bid to fulfill the $100million Netflix deal that they signed back in 2020.

At the time they released a statement saying, ‘Our lives, both independent of each other and as a couple, have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience, and the need for connection.

‘Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.’

Meghan intends to sell a vast array of household products with her American Riviera Orchard company.

The endless list of products includes skin care, make-up, gardening equipment, scented candles and even dog food.
