He went on to claim that the segment appeared strategic rather than heartfelt, adding: “It’s product placing and marketing and, you know, relating it to them [the royal family], which is the ticket on which they travel.”

Support From Prince Harry and Celebrity Friends

Despite the criticism, the holiday special has also attracted praise, particularly for Prince Harry’s visible support of his wife. In one scene, he sneaks a tender kiss from Meghan before the trailer shifts to festive moments inside their Montecito home. His warm cameo stands out, especially given his absence from the show’s second season.

Meghan is also joined by a host of well-known friends throughout the trailer, including tennis star Naomi Osaka, chef Tom Colicchio, close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen, and producer Lindsay Roth, adding to the star-studded feel of the festive production.
