Prince Harry makes a cheeky cameo in Meghan Markle’s Netflix holiday special, «With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.»<\/b>
\nMeghan Markle is throwing a party of her own after attending Kris Jenner\u2019s 70th birthday bash.
The former actress \u2014 who forced Jenner and Kim Kardashian to take down photos from the star-studded party \u2014 packed on the PDA with Prince Harry in Wednesday\u2019s trailer for her Netflix holiday special, \u201cWith Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.\u201d
In the footage for the special, which drops on Dec. 3, Markle, 44, shares: \u201cI love the holiday season. It\u2019s about finding time to connect with the people we love, embracing traditions and making new ones.\u201d
The \u201cSuits\u201d alum is seen getting into the festive spirit by decorating and cooking with friends, walking through a Christmas tree farm and sharing her best DIY techniques.
At one point, while in the kitchen, Markle grabs the back of Prince Harry\u2019s head and pulls the 41-year-old in for a smooch.
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty jolly in here,\u201d she teases elsewhere in the trailer.
Markle was also seen placing snacks for Santa and his reindeer. The set up included a message from her and Harry\u2019s kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, on a mug.
The note was addressed to \u201cSanta\u201d and showed a glimpse of the words \u201chave been good\u201d and \u201ctravel safely.\u201d
The message signed off: \u201cXO, Archie and Lili.\u201d
The Duke of Sussex made a brief cameo in Season 1 of \u201cWith Love, Meghan,\u201d but was notably absent from the second season.
Along with her husband, Markle is joined by tennis star Naomi Osaka, \u201cTop Chef\u201d judge Tom Colicchio, friends Kelly McKee Zajfen and Lindsay Roth, and hospitality expert Will Guidara.
Last month, while at Fortune\u2019s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., the Netflix star opened up about the future of her show.
\u201cWell, the holiday special is coming out in November. It\u2019s a really good one,\u201d Markle told the audience. \u201cSo I think looking at that format \u2014 again, it\u2019s a year of learns \u2014 so we\u2019re able to say, \u2018Eight episodes for two seasons \u2014 it\u2019s a lot of work.\u201d
The actress noted that \u201chaving done \u2018Suits\u2019 for seven years, I remember what goes into a production. I also recognize how much people want content in different sizes. Part of what we\u2019re testing out now is, it\u2019s amazing to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes, but how can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And where can I share that with you? And how that continues to grow As ever.\u201d
Markle also teased the cheerful special in a statement from Archewell earlier this year.
\u201cThis December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration,\u201d the statement read. \u201cTogether, friends and family deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs \u2014 with simple how-tos to follow at home. It\u2019s a holiday wonder with warmth, tradition, and a generous dose of joy.\u201d
Markle\u2019s lifestyle brand, As Ever, now has its first-ever holiday collection, which features candles, fruit spreads, and sparkling wines.
The first season of \u201cWith Love, Meghan\u201d premiered in March \u2014 and was bashed by critics. Season 2\u2019s August debut didn\u2019t fair much better with mixed reviews.
Markle and Prince Harry initially signed a $100 million agreement with Netflix in 2020. The couple extended their deal with the streamer in August, but the new partnership is reportedly worth significantly less than the original deal.
The Sussexes released multiple projects under their first deal, including their 2022 docuseries \u201cHarry & Meghan\u201d and Harry\u2019s \u201cPolo\u201d doc, which was critically panned by the public after it dropped in Dec. 2024.
Markle and Harry\u2019s social calendars have also been packed as of late. They recently made headlines when they rubbed elbows with the likes of Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart, and Justin Bieber at Jenner\u2019s bash. The festivities were hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren S\u00e1nchez\u2019s at their $175 million mansion. Although the two were all smiles, Kardashian was reportedly left \u201cpissed\u201d when they forced her to take down photos of them from Instagram.
Royals insiders were reportedly appalled by their night out, too. \u201cIt\u2019s so tacky,\u201d a palace insider who works with the royal family told Page Six. \u201cIt truly shows that Harry is so far removed from the rest of the family. These people may be stars in America, but the pure ostentatiousness is at odds with what Prince William is trying to do with his life and the monarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n
