In the holiday special “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” the Duchess of Sussex expresses her fondness for the Christmas season while adorning her Christmas tree.
Reflecting on the act of decorating the tree, she shares how it allows one to capture their family history and witness the passage of time through the ornaments. Having undergone significant life changes over the past decade, from marrying Prince Harry to venturing into entrepreneurship in California, the Duchess has embraced various chapters in her life.
Her Netflix Christmas special exudes a distinct California influence, featuring traditions like decorating sugar cookies and enjoying Christmas brunch in coordinated family pajamas, which are typically associated with American celebrations.
During a segment on Christmas cooking and crafting, Meghan fondly recalls her experiences celebrating the festive season in the UK, particularly introducing her friend Will Guidara to the British custom of Christmas crackers. Her time spent with the Royal Family during Christmas, where traditions like pulling crackers and enjoying a traditional roast turkey were observed, left a lasting impression on her.
She reminisces about the UK tradition of pulling Christmas crackers with Will, highlighting the sense of connection and warmth it brings. This reflection on her past experiences with the Royal Family may indicate a shift towards nostalgia and positivity, potentially signaling a desire to reconcile with the Firm.
While Meghan has previously faced criticism and controversy surrounding her royal connections, her recent reflections on her time with the Royal Family suggest a newfound perspective. Whether this signifies a genuine attempt at reconciliation or a strategic move to leverage her royal ties for her platform remains to be seen.
