It has been over five years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry decided to step back from their duties as working members of the British Royal Family. Despite this, formal protocol is still observed on certain occasions.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, opened up about her life in Montecito, discussing various aspects from parenthood and marriage to navigating public scrutiny.
Amid a busy schedule, the mother of two is preparing for a Christmas special for her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan. A new trailer for the upcoming show, set to premiere on December 3, showcases Meghan embracing traditions, forging new ones, and emphasizing the importance of connecting with loved ones.
During their second encounter at a stylish New York brownstone, writer Kaitlyn Greenidge noticed a gesture rooted in palace customs. Meghan, 43, was formally announced as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, even though only the two of them were present in the house.
In her article for Harper’s Bazaar, Kaitlyn recounted the moment when the house manager introduced Meghan as the Duchess of Sussex upon their meeting, despite the apparent privacy of the setting.
Moving to the house’s second floor via a glass elevator in the living room, Meghan discussed various topics, such as her surprise appearance at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week and her aspirations to inspire her children, Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, through her business ventures and creative endeavors.
Meghan shared how her home office, located near the kitchen in her mansion, often becomes a space where her daughter Lilibet joins her during meetings, whether they are about the financials of her brand or creative projects.
When asked about the lessons she hopes her children will glean from her work, Meghan expressed her desire for them to value bravery, emphasizing that youth often brings a sense of fearlessness that diminishes with age.
Earlier this year, Meghan, who fondly recalls assisting her grandmother in making preserves in Tennessee as a child, launched her range of £6.50 jams under her successful As Ever brand. Her raspberry jam, described as her “signature” flavor, is inspired by a recipe she crafted in her own kitchen.
The forthcoming With Love, Meghan Christmas special is set to premiere on Netflix on December 3, offering viewers a glimpse into Meghan’s passion for creating memorable experiences and sharing her love through her brand.
