Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is facing intense public scrutiny and accusations of 'hypocrisy' as her new festive special airs on Netflix, juxtaposing a meticulously curated, picture-perfect Christmas with the harsh reality of her seriously ill father. The festive show, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, aims to depict an idyllic family holiday, but critics argue it is a public relations misstep, particularly as her estranged father, Thomas Markle, has reportedly undergone a below-the-knee leg amputation.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, who resides in Montecito, California, with Prince Harry, 41, and their children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, uses the special to showcase a flawless, aspirational holiday season. Viewers are treated to scenes of homemade advent calendars, cheerful brunches in coordinated red pyjamas, and artistic festive wreath-making.
