Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Host Friends and Volunteer With Children for Thanksgiving
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared new details about their Thanksgiving plans after hosting friends at their Montecito home while also taking part in a hands-on volunteering event with children. According to People, Meghan discussed the family’s holiday traditions during a recent appearance linked to her lifestyle brand, noting that the couple enjoys a low-key celebration centred around cooking and time spent with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
Alongside the home festivities, Meghan and Harry also participated in a Thanksgiving volunteer event, preparing meals and spending time with local children. The outing, also reported by Page Six in broader coverage of the couple’s activities, reflects a continuation of their focus on community engagement in California.
People notes that Meghan spoke warmly about the holiday, describing it as a time she values for its sense of gratitude and connection. The Sussexes’ public engagements have remained carefully curated throughout the year, but their holiday volunteering aligns with their longstanding emphasis on youth-centred initiatives.
The appearance comes amid shifting conversations about the couple’s visibility in the United States and the UK. With King Charles preparing for a packed royal calendar and the Prince and Princess of Wales gradually returning to public duties, Meghan and Harry’s independent work continues to draw parallel attention on both sides of the Atlantic.
While the couple’s Thanksgiving moments were understated, they provided a rare look at the Sussexes’ family rhythm—balancing private celebrations with public service during one of America’s most significant holidays.
