These days we refer to her as the Duchess of Sussex but you can’t take the American roots out of Meghan Markle.
This year is her very first Thanksgiving as a royal.
Watch Meghan show off her amazing cooking skills in her royal cookbook.
To think, one year ago she was in LA with her mum Doria Ragland – and then 4 days later, her entire world changed when she and Prince Harry announced their engagement.
Now that she’s living in the UK, how will Meghan Markle spend her first Thanksgiving at Kensington Palace?
Given the way she’s weaved her roots into her role as royal, it’s almost certain that she’ll celebrate the iconic American holiday.

In 2016, Meghan revealed she cooked the perfect Thanksgiving turkey in the past in a throwback photo on her now-deleted Instagram.
The former Suits star relived the glory of her cooking conquest and admitted to feeling pressure to repeat it.
Posting a shot of herself beside a picturesque turkey, Markle wrote, “Oh, that time I roasted a pretty perfect Thanksgiving turkey! The question is, can I do it again? The pressure is on!”

Showing her support for Meghan, Fergie paid tribute to the tradition.
The former Duchess of York shared a heartfelt message in honour of Thanksgiving on Thursday, writing: “I thank America and all Americans, happy Thanksgiving!!”
Meghan has previously opened up about her Thanksgiving traditions and her passion for charity. In a post on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, she wrote:
“Despite the contrast of my two worlds growing up, there was a powerful commonality: both my parents came from little, so they made a choice to give a lot – buying turkeys for homeless shelters at Thanksgiving, delivering meals to patients in hospice care, donating any spare change in their pocket to those asking for it, and performing quiet acts of grace – be it a hug, a smile, or a pat on the back to show ones in need that they would be alright.
“This is what I grew up seeing, so that is what I grew up being: a young adult with a social consciousness to do what I could, and to, at the very least, speak up when I knew something was wrong.”
