Could the New Pope Be Black?

Set to debut on Netflix on Jan. 15, the eight-episode series “With Love, Meghan,” will see Markle “share personal tips and tricks, embrace playfulness over perfection and highlight how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected,” per the show’s official description. She’ll also be bringing some famous guests along to cook, share stories and insight and enjoy the amenities of the gorgeous Montecito, Calif. home they’re in.

Don’t get it twisted: this isn’t Markle’s real-life Montecito mansion, but it is located just a few miles down the street from it. In fact, this $8 million farmhouse where the show was filmed is owned by Montecito socialites Tom & Sherrie Cipolla. It features four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms and sits on five acres of land.

And because we know pictures are worth a thousand words, let’s take a look at the picturesque property.

The spacious kitchen, in which Markle is set to spend most of her time whipping up delicious meals and treats for her guests, boasts Caesartone countertops, a 48-inch Thermador range cooker, Shaker-style cabinetry and a farmhouse-style sink and more.

Nothing screams “ready to eat” like a small breakfast nook, this fun eating area sits right off the kitchen.
