In the third episode, Meghan shares, "I remember so vividly the first Christmas at Sandringham,' Meghan said. Calling my mum, and she's like, "How's it going?". And I said, "Oh my gosh, it's amazing." 

Meghan continued, "It's just like a big family like I always wanted,' she added. And there was just this constant movement and energy and fun."

Speaking about chatting to 'H's grandfather', Meghan explained, 'And I just thought it was so wonderful. And I was like, "Oh, we chatted and it was so great." And I talked about this, and talked about this."

Before Meghan revealed Harry broke the embarrassing news about his grandfather's hearing issues that completely surprised her.

'He was like, "You had his bad ear. He couldn't hear anything you were saying." I was like "Oh. Well, I thought it went really well." 

Christmas traditions for the royal family include the royal walkabout from the church at Sandringham, in which the public gather to get a glimpse of the family up close.

And while it's reported that Harry and Meghan rejected King Charles' Christmas invite (opens in new tab), Meghan claims she had no idea about the walkabout before taking part in her first in 2017.

"I never saw pictures or videos of a walkabout. Like, what's a walkabout?," said the US-based mother-of-two Duchess.

Harry explained, "I could talk her through as much as I knew from my own experience of what I'd seen. The piece I really didn't know about was the style, right, and what a woman needed to, how they needed to dress and all that."
