In a special holiday episode aired on December 3, 2025, Meghan Markle showcased her creativity and dedication as a mother by creating personalized advent calendars for her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Netflix special, titled With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, featured Meghan reading touching handwritten notes intended for each day of December leading up to Christmas. The notes highlighted her affection for her children, with messages such as "I love you because you're so kind" and "I love you because you're so brave." Meghan emphasized that her intent is to make each day special as the family prepares for the festive season. Meghan has been intentionally private about her children, always protecting their identities in public appearances, and chooses not to show their faces during the show. This aligns with her commitment to keeping their childhood as normal as possible, in stark contrast to Prince Harry's own experiences growing up under intense media scrutiny. While she shares snippets about their lives, Meghan’s approach involves displaying only the backs of their heads or obscured views to respect their privacy. The holiday episode not only showcased her parenting style but also marked an important moment for Meghan's show, which has received mixed reviews since its debut. Following harsh criticisms of its first season, the couple signed a new deal with Netflix, indicating their intent to continue creating content while navigating the public's expectations. Meghan stated that creating these personalized calendars was inspired by a desire to introduce small surprises and delights for her children throughout the holiday season, making memories that could be cherished for years. Additionally, the episode featured a humorous moment where Prince Harry critiqued Meghan's cooking. He made a guest appearance to comment on her beetroot salad, a dish he humorously referred to as an "anti-salad" due to its ingredients that he dislikes. Harry’s candid remarks provided a light-hearted touch to the episode, showcasing the couple's playful dynamic and providing insights into their life together.
