Meghan and Harry: “fairly discreet” with Archie and Lilibet, rare confessions from the duchess

As the end-of-year holidays approach, the royal family is in full preparations. Indeed, like every year, there will be many Christmas celebrations. But for this month of December 2024, there is one that is eagerly awaited: Kate Middleton who should make a comeback with great fanfare, after the announcement of his cancer. Across the Atlantic, the atmosphere is not really similar.

Indeed, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are more preoccupied with organizing Christmas for their children, Archie and Lilibet. Our American colleagues from Marie-Claire
thus shared the more down-to-earth concerns of the Sussexes. “At first, I think that as a mother with children, I'm happy to have them by my side, but they don't yet understand everything that's going on. But now we're at the age where I look forward to seeing things through their prism every year,” confie Meghan Markle.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will celebrate the end of year holidays with ease

While waiting for Christmas, the Sussexes will celebrate Thanksgiving, this Thursday, November 28. Meghan Markle then emphasizes that she and Prince Harry have always been “fairly discreet” about what they are going to do on this important date for Americans.

But the duchess is delighted to be very close to her mother, who also lives in California, just like her. “I thought that in recent years, when we celebrated Thanksgiving here, like many of us, we always made sure there was
room at the table for friends who don’t have family, which is really essential”she says.

Family Thanksgiving for the Sussexes

So, it seems that celebrating Thanksgiving with the Sussexes is actually similar to what other Americans experience:
“We always make sure we have something fun to do. Like any other familyyou spend time sharing a good meal and then what do you do? You play games, everything else, someone brings a guitar – it's fun,” lance Meghan Markle.

So, no big disproportionate party but the opportunity to get together with family and friends, around a table. The Sussexes thus prefer to share a simple and friendly with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
