The holiday guest list is also shaping up in unexpected ways. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are reportedly skipping this year’s celebrations, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie may also stay home in the absence of their parents. These changes could create opportunities for Harry to attend—but the lack of clarity is still weighing on Meghan.
Thanksgiving Plans in Montecito
While Christmas remains uncertain, Meghan seems to have Thanksgiving well in hand. A recent newsletter from her lifestyle brand revealed a peek at the couple’s plans. This year, they’re embracing a cozy, homegrown celebration, featuring produce from their Montecito garden.
The centerpiece turkey will be drizzled with sage honey, made from a special Santa Barbara sage grown by Meghan herself. Small touches like these show the couple creating their own traditions and focusing on family warmth, even as royal obligations loom in the background.
Creating Their Own Holiday Rhythm
For Meghan and Harry, the holidays are about balancing personal life with public expectations. Whether they spend Christmas at Sandringham or stay in California, it’s clear that they are prioritizing family moments in their own way.
