Adding to the awkwardness, his comment was aimed at Meghan Markle’s cooking — no small thing considering the Duchess of Sussex hosts a lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, which features plenty of recipes. One might even wonder if Harry was risking a takeaway for Christmas lunch.
A Festive Moment on Meghan’s Netflix Special
Harry’s eyebrow-raising comment came during the festive episode of Meghan’s Netflix show, titled With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. The special, which debuted on December 3, sees Meghan sharing some of her favorite Christmas dishes and traditions.
The timing raised a few smiles and a few winces, especially as the couple had also just released their Christmas card, which sparked conversation online over a supposed “mistake.”
Gumbo, Family Recipes, and a Playful Dig
In the episode, Meghan is shown preparing a batch of Christmas Eve gumbo, which she describes as a cherished family recipe. As she stands at the stove stirring the pot, Harry walks in, leans over to kiss her, and takes in the aroma.
“You must have known that I was coming,” he says after smelling the stew.
