Let’s face it—nothing can be more nerve-wracking than spending your first Christmas with your new in-laws. The stress of finding the perfect presents or deciding whether to bake something extra special can send anyone into a frenzy. Now imagine being Meghan Markle, stepping into her very first Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham. It’s not just any holiday; it’s a high-stakes event packed with tradition, formality, and a whole lot of mingling with some of the most famous members of the British monarchy. Queen Elizabeth’s annual gathering is like the ultimate test of grace under pressure, where every move is scrutinized. Talk about intense!
But here’s the kicker: Meghan isn’t just dealing with the pressure of curtsying to everyone in the palace. She’s also tackling the daunting task of finding the right gift for her soon-to-be grandmother-in-law, the Queen herself. We’re talking about a woman who literally owns everything—palaces, ponies, and enough purses to fill a small boutique. If that wasn’t enough, Meghan has big shoes to fill, thanks to Kate Middleton, who has set the bar sky-high with her secret chutney recipe for the Queen. What’s a girl to do?

Kate Middleton gave us a glimpse into the pressure of choosing the perfect gift for the Queen during a documentary celebrating Her Majesty’s 90th birthday. “I remember being at Sandringham for the first time and stressing over what to give the Queen as a Christmas present,” Kate shared. “I thought, ‘What should I give her?’ Then it hit me—what would I give my own grandparents? That’s when the idea of making something came to mind. I decided to try my hand at making chutney using my granny’s recipe. I was nervous, but when I saw it on the table the next day, I knew it had worked.” It’s a lesson Meghan can certainly take to heart.
With the pressure mounting, Meghan needs to think creatively. Thankfully, she’s got plenty of talents up her sleeve to craft the perfect present. Here’s a list of ideas inspired by Kate’s success, tailored to Meghan’s unique skills and passions. After all, before Meghan became a royal, she was a wellness guru and lifestyle blogger extraordinaire!
Teaching the Art of Calligraphy
Before Meghan made waves in Hollywood, she had a secret talent—wedding calligraphy. Back in 2013, she told Esquire about her side hustle: “Calligraphy was my version of waitressing. I worked on invitations for big-name weddings, including Robin Thicke and Paula Patton.” Now, imagine bonding with the Queen over a shared love of handwritten notes. What better way to connect than through the timeless art of calligraphy? Plus, the Queen already has her own custom stationery—perfect for practicing!
A Seven-Day Green Juice Cleanse
The Queen may have a reputation for her love of cocktails, but Meghan’s wellness expertise could introduce her to the joys of green juice. Known for her passion for healthy living, Meghan once said, “Green juice is like food-as-medicine for me. It’s a natural way to energize your body.” Imagine the Queen starting the new year with a refreshing cleanse designed by Meghan. Who knows? She might just become a fan of the green stuff!
A Personalized Book of The Tig
Meghan’s beloved lifestyle blog, The Tig, may have closed its virtual doors, but its wisdom lives on. What if Meghan compiled the best of her blog into a beautifully bound book for the Queen? From fashion tips to life advice, the Queen would have a treasure trove of inspiration to enjoy during her downtime. It’s a gift that’s both thoughtful and meaningful.

Paleo Pet Food for the Corgis
As much as the Queen loves her corgis, Meghan knows how to spoil them. Why not treat the royal pups to a lifetime supply of premium paleo pet food? It’s a gift that’s sure to win over both the Queen and her furry friends.
A Yoga Crash Course for the Queen
At 91 years young, the Queen remains remarkably fit, thanks to her love of walking and riding horses. But Meghan could introduce her to the world of yoga, offering a gentle yet effective way to relax and recharge. Whether it’s a calming Shavasana or a strengthening Downward Dog, yoga could be the perfect complement to the Queen’s active lifestyle. Namaste, Majesty!
