In the new festive special titled With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, the Duchess of Sussex expresses her fondness for the holiday season while adorning her Christmas tree.
Reflecting on the tradition of decorating the tree with lights and ornaments, she shares how it allows individuals to capture their family history and the various phases of life represented by the ornaments. Over the past decade, the Duchess has experienced significant life events, including her marriage to Prince Harry, entry into the royal family, subsequent departure, welcoming of two children, and now, venturing into business in California.
The Netflix Christmas special curated by Meghan has a distinctive Californian touch, incorporating festive customs typically associated with the United States, such as decorating cookies and enjoying a Christmas brunch in matching family pajamas—a departure from traditional British practices.
During a segment on Christmas cooking and crafting, Meghan fondly recalls her experiences celebrating the holiday season in the UK. She introduces her friend Will Guidara to the British tradition of Christmas crackers, a custom she familiarized herself with during her time spent with the Royal Family in 2017 and 2018, where they would partake in pulling crackers before the festive meal.
Describing the tradition to her friend, Meghan explains the camaraderie and sweetness of crossing arms to pull the crackers together, a practice she associates strongly with the UK Christmas celebrations. She reminisces about the jokes and riddles typically found inside the crackers, emphasizing the sense of connection and warmth they bring.
While Meghan has previously addressed her time within the Royal Family in a critical light, this instance marks a departure as she reflects on her past with a hint of positivity and nostalgia for the UK, a place she now rarely visits. It raises questions about whether this gesture signifies a desire to mend the strained relationship between the Sussexes and the Firm.
Some speculate that Meghan’s reflection may also serve as a subtle reminder of her royal connections, which have undoubtedly played a role in her prominent platform, including her collaborations with Netflix. The true intent behind her nostalgic recollection remains uncertain, leaving observers to ponder if this gesture signals a willingness to reconcile past conflicts.
