While preparing her Christmas tree in the show “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” the Duchess of Sussex expresses her fondness for the holiday season.
Reflecting on the act of decorating her tree, she shares that it allows individuals to connect with their family history and experience the passage of time through the ornaments. Over the past decade, the Duchess has undergone significant life changes, including marriage to Prince Harry, royal engagements, a high-profile departure, welcoming two children, and venturing into entrepreneurship in California.
The Duchess’s Netflix Christmas special exudes a California flair, featuring American holiday traditions like decorating cookies and enjoying a festive brunch in coordinated family pajamas, distinct from typical British customs.
In a segment of the Christmas-themed show, Meghan fondly recalls her past Christmas celebrations in the UK, introducing her friend Will Guidara to the British tradition of Christmas crackers. She reminisces about her experiences celebrating the holiday with the Royal Family in 2017 and 2018, partaking in traditions like pulling crackers and enjoying a traditional roast turkey dinner.
She shares with Will the joy of participating in the tradition of pulling crackers together, describing it as a connected and endearing practice that she became familiar with during her time in the UK. Despite past controversies surrounding her royal association, this moment signifies a rare instance of Meghan reflecting positively on her experiences with the Royal Family and their traditions.
The Duchess’s nostalgic recollection raises questions about her intentions and whether it signals a desire to reconcile with the Royal Family. It prompts speculation about whether this gesture signifies a potential reconciliation or is merely a strategic move to leverage her royal ties for her ventures, such as her partnership with Netflix.
