While adorning her Christmas tree in the show “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” the Duchess of Sussex expresses her deep affection for the holiday season.
Reflecting on the act of decorating with lights and ornaments, she emphasizes how it allows one to “truly encapsulate your family story, feel the passage of time, and witness the different chapters of your life through the ornaments.” Over the past decade, the Duchess has experienced significant life changes, including marrying Prince Harry, becoming part of the monarchy, making a dramatic exit, welcoming two children, and now venturing into business endeavors in California.
Her Netflix Christmas special, with a distinctive California theme, showcases festive traditions typically associated with the United States, such as decorating sugar cookies and enjoying a Christmas brunch in coordinated family pajamas, a departure from traditional British customs.
During a segment of the show dedicated to Christmas cooking and crafts, Meghan fondly recalls her experiences celebrating the festive season in the UK, highlighting the introduction of her friend Will Guidara to the British tradition of Christmas crackers. Her time spent with the Royal Family in 2017 and 2018, marked by traditions like the Christmas Day roast turkey and pulling crackers at the beginning of the meal, holds a special place in her memories.
She shares with Will the charm of crossing arms to pull crackers together, describing it as a “connected and sweet” tradition integral to the Christmas holidays in the UK. The exchange of jokes and riddles inside the crackers added to the festive spirit, creating a sense of togetherness and warmth.
While Meghan has often been vocal about her experiences within the Royal Family, this instance stands out as a more nostalgic reflection on her time with the Firm, suggesting a potential desire to reconcile past tensions. Whether this signals a gesture of reconciliation or a strategic move to leverage her royal connections for her endeavors remains to be seen.
