While engaging in the festive tradition of decorating her Christmas tree in her latest TV special, “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” the Duchess of Sussex expresses her deep affection for the holiday season.
Reflecting on the act of adorning the tree with lights and ornaments, she emphasizes how it allows individuals to “truly encapsulate their family story, experience the passage of time, and witness the various chapters of life through the decorations.” Over the past decade, the Duchess of Sussex has undergone significant life transformations, including her marriage to Prince Harry, her entry into the royal family, her notable departure, the birth of two children, and her current endeavor to establish a business presence in California.
Hence, it comes as no surprise that her Netflix Christmas special exudes a distinct California flair, showcasing festive customs typically associated with the United States, such as decorating sugar cookies and enjoying a Christmas brunch in coordinated family pajamas.
However, amidst the Christmas culinary and craft activities, Meghan unexpectedly recollects her past holiday experiences in the UK as she introduces her friend Will Guidara to the British tradition of Christmas crackers. Fondly reminiscing about her two-year stint celebrating Christmas with the Royal Family in 2017 and 2018, where they traditionally enjoyed roast turkey on Christmas Day while pulling crackers at the beginning of the meal.
During the interaction, she shares with Will the “connected and sweet” tradition of intertwining arms to pull the crackers together, highlighting its significance as a cherished part of the Christmas holidays in the UK. She elaborates on the communal act of simultaneously pulling the crackers around the table, emphasizing the sense of connection and warmth it brings. Meghan recalls the inclusion of small jokes or riddles akin to fortune cookies, adding a touch of sweetness to the tradition.
While Meghan’s discussions about her time within the Royal Family are not new, this particular instance appears to be a rare reflection on her past experiences with a hint of positivity and nostalgia towards a country she now infrequently visits. It raises the question of whether this gesture signifies Meghan’s desire to mend the ongoing rift between the Sussexes and the Firm by extending a potential olive branch.
Alternatively, it could be interpreted as another way for the Duchess to leverage her royal connections, which have undoubtedly played a role in her significant platform on platforms like Netflix. The true intention behind this gesture remains uncertain, leaving observers to ponder if it will truly initiate the process of reconciliation.
