In the show “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” the Duchess of Sussex expresses her fondness for the holiday season while decorating her Christmas tree.
Reflecting on the act of adorning her tree with lights and ornaments, she remarks on how it allows individuals to capture their family history and experience the passage of time through the ornaments, symbolizing different chapters of life. Over the past decade, the Duchess has undergone significant life events, including marriage to Prince Harry, royal engagements, abrupt departure, welcoming two children, and venturing into entrepreneurship in California.
Her Netflix Christmas special, with a noticeable California influence, showcases festive traditions typically associated with the United States, such as decorating sugar cookies and enjoying a Christmas brunch in matching pajamas.
During a Christmas cooking and crafting segment, Meghan fondly recalls her time in the UK, introducing her friend Will Guidara to the British custom of Christmas crackers. Having celebrated Christmas with the Royal Family in 2017 and 2018, Meghan reminisces about the traditional roast turkey and the fun of pulling Christmas crackers at the beginning of the meal.
In a heartwarming moment, Meghan shares with Will the joy of the British tradition of crossing arms to pull crackers together, a practice she found endearing and integral to the Christmas holiday experience in the UK. This unexpected reflection on her time with the Royal Family may signal a shift towards nostalgia and positivity, hinting at a desire to mend ties amid ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Firm.
While Meghan has been vocal about her past royal experiences, this instance appears to offer a glimpse of her royal connections in a more positive light, potentially serving as a bridge for reconciliation between the two parties. Whether this gesture signifies genuine reconciliation remains to be seen, leaving room for speculation on the future of their relationship.
