UPDATE: In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry humorously roasted Meghan Markle‘s cooking during her new Netflix special, “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” which premiered on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. Viewers were treated to a candid moment when Harry, who made a brief appearance, declared that Markle’s gumbo did not measure up to her mother’s renowned culinary skills, leaving her visibly shocked.
The Duke of Sussex was initially complimentary of Markle’s dish but quickly turned the conversation, stating, “It’s good, but my mother-in-law’s is so much better!” This playful jab elicited laughter from Markle, who noted that her mother would be thrilled to hear the compliment, earning Harry some easy points in the kitchen diplomacy game.
In addition to the gumbo, Markle showcased her culinary skills by preparing a beet salad featuring red onion, celery, artichoke hearts, and more—despite Harry’s aversion to beets, which he humorously dubbed an “anti-salad.” Markle explained that with guests expected at their home in Montecito, she wanted to prepare the dish, even if it was rarely consumed by her husband.
The episode is filled with lighthearted banter, culminating in Markle expressing her gratitude to Harry for his support during her event, a welcome sight as he was notably absent from the second season of “With Love, Meghan,” which premiered in August 2023. The couple’s children, Archie and Lilibet, did not appear in the episode, although Markle referenced them multiple times, maintaining their desire to keep their kids out of the public eye.
With this special, Markle not only shares her culinary journey but also gives fans a glimpse into the couple’s dynamic. As Harry playfully critiques her cooking, it underscores the couple’s relatable and human side amidst their royal backgrounds.
Fans are now eagerly discussing the episode on social media, sharing clips and expressing their delight at the couple’s candid moment. The reception highlights an ongoing interest in Harry and Meghan’s life post-royalty, as they continue to navigate fame and family life in the public eye.
Stay tuned for more updates as the couple continues to engage with their audience through new projects and personal anecdotes.
