‘Quite mad and a little bit sad’: Meghan’s ‘insipid’ Netflix Christmas special is panned by critics

The only overtly positive review came from the Express royal editor Emily Ferguson who said the show gave ‘some handy tips on wrapping awkward items such as cuddly toys and wine bottles’.
She adds: ‘The special one-off episode, released on the same day the Royal Family welcomes the German president and first lady to Windsor Castle for a three-day state visit, balances festive fun with personal anecdotes that are sure to please her fan base.
‘And in a solo clip while decorating iced cookies, Meghan delivers an important message: ‘Take care of yourself and you will be able to take care of everybody else.’

Meghan’s new show aired on the same day the King and Queen are hosting the German state visit, and just hours after the Princess of Wales published a personal letter to guests attending her annual carol concert on Friday.

The duchess, who is estranged from her own father and has levelled a raft of accusations at the royals since quitting the monarchy, reveals she loves Christmas trees, advent calendars and Yuletide wreaths.
She said that trees allow you to ‘really encapsulate your family story, really feel the passage of time and the different chapters of your life through the ornaments’.
She is seen dressing up in matching festive red pyjamas with her friends and making handmade personalised crackers, adding in a lavender roll-on scent for her four-year-old daughter Lili, a tiny toy burger and fries for six-year-old Archie, as well as a ‘little love letter’ for Harry.
