Prince Harry recently shared his reflections on their first Christmas as non-royals in his book, "Spare," published earlier this year. He described how he and Meghan purchased a splendid Christmas tree for their Montecito home, opting for one of the largest Christmas trees available in the area. They adorned it with special decorations paying homage to their British heritage. On Christmas Eve, the couple adhered to the British tradition of opening their presents, and Meghan's thoughtful gift brought joy and amusement to Harry.
Prince Harry also recounted a humorous anecdote involving a Christmas decoration from the Queen. Meghan had come across the ornament at a local store, thinking it might appeal to Harry. The decoration featured an elderly woman's face with the letter "T" etched on it. Prince Harry hung it on a tree branch at eye level, and its unexpected presence added laughter to their festivities. However, Archie inadvertently caused a small incident when he playfully pushed the tree stand, causing the elderly woman ornament to fall.
Meghan, too, shared some of her cherished Christmas traditions, expressing her love for cutting and decorating trees with her children. She highlighted the joy of creating new memories as their little ones grow, emphasizing the delight their kids find in this festive activity. It's a heartwarming glimpse into Meghan and Harry's evolving Christmas celebrations as they build new traditions with their family.
