Meghan Markle introduces her festive Netflix series as she reveals the launch date on her Instagram
Meghan Markle has announced that her holiday special will premiere on Netflix on December 3.
The Duchess of Sussex made the announcement on Instagram, sharing a bright promotional photo of herself wearing a festive jersey.
Wearing an emerald green dress, the mother-of-two was photographed placing fancy Christmas decorations for the Christmas feast.
“Adopt traditions and make new ones this holiday season,” the caption read. ‘With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration on Netflix December 3.’
The streaming giant has already aired two seasons of the show, highlighting a variety of cooking topics and hosting ‘tips’ from the former working royal.
Previous A-lister guests have included the likes of Chrissy Tiegen and Mindy Kaling, as well as members of the Sussexes’ ‘Team Montecito’ such as Abigail Spencer.
But the date may raise eyebrows as it clashes with a major event hosted by King Charles, who will host the German President’s state visit at Windsor Castle that day.
The post comes just a day after she and Prince Harry were spotted at Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed birthday party; The Royal Family stepped out for emotional scenes for Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph in Whitehall in London on Sunday.
King Charles observed a two-minute silence for members of the firm, including the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives in the conflict.

The special will follow a similar style to the Netflix series, which received harsh criticism when its second season was released in August.
In the second season of With Love, Meghan was criticized as ‘a little less crazy but more needy’ than her predecessor, despite attracting millions of viewers in its first season.
The Mail’s Liz Jones described the new season as ‘staged, fake and boring’ but, unlike other critics, praised Meghan for being ‘genuinely serious’.
The Guardian described the show as ‘very boring’ and ‘very contrived’, while The Telegraph described the Duchess as ‘Marie Antoinette of Montecito’.
The Times was equally scathing, describing the eight-episode series as ‘a series searching for meaning, starring a woman in need of some money’.
Despite celebrity guests like Chrissy Teigen, John Legend and Tan France, critics claim the show lacks substance and Meghan is not real.
