“It’s Never a Source of Conflict: Exclusive Insights”
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing for a Christmas celebration in California amid recent Hollywood controversies. Their new Netflix episode, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, showcases how they are establishing holiday traditions with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Holiday Traditions in Montecito
Set to release on December 3, the episode provides an intimate glimpse into the couple’s family rituals. Meghan, 44, focuses on creating memorable experiences for their kids, such as:
- Crafting giant advent calendars
- Preparing festive snacks like “Reindeer Chow”
- Cooking traditional Christmas Eve gumbo, learned from her mother, Doria Ragland
During the episode, Harry, 41, makes a light-hearted appearance, engaging with Meghan as she cooks and humorously comparing her gumbo to his mother-in-law’s recipe.
Navigating Hollywood Spotlight
This episode arrives following a series of minor controversies, including a situation at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party. Photos of the couple from the event were posted online but quickly removed at the Sussexes’ request. The timing coincided with Remembrance Day in the U.K., leading to discussions about sensitivities around the royal family’s commemorations.
Meghan’s spokesperson also addressed allegations regarding a designer dress, categorically stating that the claim was false and defamatory. Furthermore, a recent profile in Harper’s Bazaar received criticism for its framing of Meghan’s title.
Strong Partnership
Despite these challenges, insiders report that Harry and Meghan remain united, working collaboratively to face public scrutiny. A source shared with PEOPLE, “It never creates friction between them. They’re fully aligned and always operate as a team.”
Meghan tends to disregard public opinions, referring to them as “just noise.” In contrast, Harry is protective and more affected by outside commentary. Meghan highlighted his support in a podcast earlier this year, comparing it to “slaying the dragon” in a video game scenario, symbolizing his devotion to their family’s safety.
Community Engagement
The couple also engages in community service through their Archewell Foundation, exemplifying their commitment to giving back. Recently, they volunteered with their children at a local community kitchen, reinforcing the importance of family traditions.
Meghan expressed hope in the Netflix special that these new holiday customs will last, stating, “A tradition has to have a beginning.” Their journey reveals a couple striving to balance their royal past with a forward-thinking, family-oriented future.
