The Duchess of Sussex has announced the release date for the festive edition of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

The show, which sees Meghan offer hosting tips while she cooks with celebrity friends, was savaged by critics following its release in March.

A second series was released in August and the former Suits actress, 44, has revealed her Christmas special will arrive to the streaming platform on December 3.

This will coincide with the King’s plans to host a state visit by the president of Germany between December 3-5.

The duchess made the announcement on her Instagram account and shared a look at her festive holiday table – which includes candles, glassware, ribbons, and greenery.

According to a description from Netflix, Meghan “shares her favourite holiday traditions, seasonal crafts and family recipes with friends old and new” in the special.

Queer Eye star Tan France, US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and podcaster Jay Shetty were among the celebrity guests during season two of With Love, Meghan.

The show’s launch in March coincided with the unveiling of Meghan’s As Ever brand, which sells products including raspberry jam and flower sprinkles, which she repeatedly promotes throughout the show.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex secured a lucrative contract with Netflix, thought to be worth more than 100 million dollars (£74 million), in 2020, after quitting as senior working royals.
