Meghan Markle Spills the Tea on Holiday Traditions with Prince Harry and Their Mini Royals

Buy Me A Coffee

Meghan Markle, a.k.a. Duchess of Sussex, a.k.a. our favorite Hallmark-movie-meets-royalty success story, has shared some juicy tidbits about her holiday plans. In a chat with Marie Claire, she dished on how the royal-ish family of four celebrates the most magical time of the year. Spoiler: it involves carrots for reindeer, guitars, and a surprise guest who isnโ€™t Santa.

Holiday Cheer: Markle Style
โ€œI love the holidays,โ€ Meghan declared, sounding like every mom whoโ€™s trying to keep the Elf on the Shelf saga alive for one more season. She explained that when kids are little, theyโ€™re basically there for the vibes, not the details. โ€œAt first, as a mom, youโ€™re just enjoying having them there,โ€ she said. Translation: Archie (5) and Lilibet (3) are still in that sweet phase where they donโ€™t realize how much work Mom puts into making Pinterest-perfect memories.

For Meghan, every holiday is like a new episode of The Crownโ€”packed with drama, traditions, and the occasional curveball. Sheโ€™s all about teaching her kiddos the โ€œmagicโ€ of traditions, whether itโ€™s Thanksgiving recipes that will one day spark childhood nostalgia or leaving carrots for Rudolph and his crew, which may or may not end up being โ€œrediscoveredโ€ in the morning by a very confused family dog.

Games, Guitars, and Gobble-Gobble Goals
When it comes to Christmas, Meghan says their day sounds surprisingly…normal? โ€œLike any other family, you have a great meal and then what do you do? Play games, all the same stuff. Someone brings a guitarโ€”fun.โ€ Now, pause. Whoโ€™s the mysterious โ€œsomeoneโ€ with the guitar? Is it Harry? Is it Lilibet in a dramatic plot twist? Either way, weโ€™re picturing an impromptu Wonderwall sing-along that probably sounds like a royal Spotify commercial.

Thanksgiving, however, is where things stay chill. No massive turkeys on thrones here. โ€œBeing close to my mom is great,โ€ Meghan said, referring to Doria Ragland, who lives in Los Angelesโ€”a.k.a. just a short royal carriage ride (or SUV, letโ€™s be real) away from Montecito.

Open Table for Surprise Guests
While Meghanโ€™s Thanksgiving vibes are โ€œlow-key,โ€ sheโ€™s always ready to pull out an extra chair for a surprise guest. โ€œYou always make sure thereโ€™s room at the table for your friends who donโ€™t have family,โ€ she said, clearly having mastered the art of holiday hostessing. Oh, and one year, casually, Gloria Steinem stopped by for Thanksgiving. No big deal. Just a feminist icon passing the cranberry sauce.

The Sussex holiday formula: mix one part nostalgia, two parts low-key vibes, sprinkle in some reindeer carrots, and top with a celebrity guest.
