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

‘Living in the UK, it’s just such a part of… Christmas holidays, for sure,’ she tells one of her guests Guidara, as they prepare to craft crackers.
‘Typically, people cross arms and do it… yeah, so they sit around the table and they all pull at the same time. It actually does feel really connected and sweet.
‘The way that I really started to know them – they would always have almost a fortune cookie-size joke or riddle, and something sweet.’

The Christmas cracker was invented by London-based confectioner and baker Tom Smith in the 1840s and was inspired by the French bonbon – a sugared almond wrapped in a twist of tissue paper.
The firm still holds the Royal Warrant for supplying Christmas crackers and wrapping paper to the King.
Each year, the royals gather at Sandringham for a traditional roast on Christmas Day, pulling crackers at the start of the meal.
The Sussexes joined the Windsors in 2017 and 2018 but they spent 2019 in Canada before stepping down as senior working royals early in 2020 and moving to the US. They have not spent a Christmas at Sandringham since.
