But prior to joining the royal family, Meghan loved nothing more than to host festive parties for her friends, and shared her tips for hosting the perfect Christmas with Grazia in 2015.
Even though her life has changed immeasurably in the four years that have passed, Meghan's tips for entertaining and creating the perfect Christmas table-scape are still relevant today, and there's no doubt Prince Harry and Meghan's Frogmore Cottage home will be perfectly decorated for the holidays. Read on for Meghan's top tips…"Traditionally garland or magnolia branches are used to adorn a stairwell banister or mantle.
"When creating a table-scape, keep it simple and crisp with an all-white tablecloth, runner and napkins. Accent with gilded plates and napkin rings and use a stylish set of cutlery. All-white flowers placed in the low vases are the perfect centrepiece," Meghan advised.
Presentation is key for Meghan when entertaining, as proven when she served tea and truffles on a silver platter to her friend Daniel Martin at Kensington Palace. Luckily, many of our favourite high street homeware stores have stylish serving trays in time for Christmas, including Next's hexagon mirror tray which looks way more expensive than its £25 price tag.BUY NOW Now she's a royal, it's unlikely Meghan will be trawling flea markets for bargain homewares.
