A lot has changed for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex over the years. From changing addresses to shifting roles, there have been a lot of developments in the lives of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. With all these changes, there was no harm in tweaking one more thing: their Thanksgiving plans. Though earlier they celebrated the festivity with the royal family, that tradition ended with their infamous departure from the family in 2020. 

Markle, therefore, chose to celebrate her Thanksgiving a little differently, though the cuisine remained the same.
