However, in the Netflix show, Meghan Markle revealed how she loved the idea of a big family. Growing up, Markle had two homes as her parents separated during her childhood.

In the third episode of the docuseries, Duchess reflected on her first Christmas with the royal household in 2017.

“Calling my mom, and she’s like, ‘How’s it going?’ and I said, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s amazing. It’s just like a big family, like I always wanted.’ There was just this constant movement and energy and fun,” Markle said in the Netflix series. 

Further, the Suits alum reminisced about her delightful conversation with Prince Harry’s grandfather. Meghan Markle was seated next to Prince Philip during the dinner and had a great time vocalizing her thoughts. Though Markle had a great time, there was a twist in the tale. On the Netflix camera, Prince Harry revealed how his grandfather could not hear what the former American actress was saying because of his bad ear. 

Notably, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not celebrated Christmas with the royal family since 2018. They gave the Sandringham celebrations a miss in 2019, while in January 2020, they moved out of the United Kingdom to live independently in California.
