Meghan Markle has been dubbed a ‘holiday hypocrite’ – there’s a good reason for that

The Duchess of Sussex flawlessly pulls together a picture-perfect Christmas in Montecito, California, where she lives with Prince Harry and their two children, Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, in her Netflix special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.

She’s drunk on festive merriment and can’t stop smiling, whether that’s hosting a brunch with her friends in matchy-matchy red PJs before making festive wreaths as their “activity”, or making us all feel bad by creating homemade advent calendars with carefully placed notes (sample: “I love you because you are so kind”) for her children to open every day. No mad dash for a Cadbury’s chocvent for her, Meghan is far too busy wrapping presents with a wax seal, and telling us the things we need to do that feel “really connective and sweet”.
