From her lifestyle ventures to her partnership with Netflix, the Duchess of Sussex has consistently received a mixed reception. Her latest collaboration with the streaming platform, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, offers viewers a peek into her festive preparations alongside a circle of celebrity friends. However, royal commentator Hugo Vickers has been far from impressed, branding the project “cringe” and questioning its authenticity.

Royal Expert Brands Show ‘Artificial’ and ‘Unrelatable’

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Vickers did not hold back in his assessment, describing the holiday segment as “artificial, expensive, and unrelatable.” He added: “I mean, it’s as if she’s invented Christmas, and frankly, she didn’t. And where is the real, genuine Christmas spirit? You know, it’s just not there. The whole thing was very cringe-making.”

Vickers also criticised Meghan’s focus on Christmas crackers, a traditional British festive staple she introduces to her American audience. He remarked: “She talks about all the things that they were going to put into these crackers, and she talks about it as if no one’s ever made a cracker or pulled a cracker.”
