Fans of Meghan Markle were excited last month to see the debut of her new Netflix streaming series titled, With Love, Meghan.

However, questions regarding one facet of her show have prompted the Duchess of Sussex to make an interesting confession.  

Program is filmed at rented home

According to Fox News, Markle recently acknowledged that the kitchen-themed program was not shot in her own home.

That admission came earlier this week when the British royal family member spoke at the TIME 100 Summit, which was held in New York City.

"When people say, ‘Why didn’t you [film in] your house?’ Well, I have kids coming home for their nap, and 80 people in the kitchen isn’t really the childhood memory I’d want for them to have," she explained.

Fox News pointed out that Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have a five-year-old son and three-year-old daughter together.

Meghan talks "boundaries"

The former working royal went on to tell TIME magazine CEO Jessica Sibley that "[w]e were really fortunate to find something close by" where the series could be shot.

"[I've] made a very, very conscious effort to create boundaries for myself and for my mental health, for my well-being and certainly to role model that as well for my children," she continued.

Markle further stressed that she is "conscious of not just raising a very strong and confident young woman but also having a son."

"I think it's just as paramount of importance for young men to be raised with a confidence and sense of self that is going to empower the women around them too," the duchess noted.

"It starts with whatever is going on internally. When I am able to not even just tune out whatever that noise is, [but] to really not give it any credence, that has become so much a part of my day-to-day life," she added.

Markle also declared that she "the happiest I've ever been," something she attributed to having a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful."

"I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do," the duchess went on to state.
