Meghan Markle is called out for her unnecessary holiday special.

The Duchess of Sussex, who has dropped her Netflix special ahead of Christmas, has dished out a ‘plainfully bland’ content.

Royal expert Alicia Liberty writes for Express: "Let’s start with the obvious question: Do we really need a step-by-step guide on how to hang Christmas lights “from the inside” or where to “place ornaments?"

"The holiday special felt synthetic, staged, and, I’m sorry to say, painfully bland. I fully respect Meghan’s right to privacy, but the set she chose felt like a Pinterest-board mirage rather than an actual home. If you’re going to film a festive special, why choose a backdrop that resembles California in mid-July? Sun streaming, knitwear on - the whole aesthetic made no sense.

She added: "The Advent calendar idea was admittedly sweet. Meghan’s line about “embracing the special touches that bring joy” is something I can get behind; all traditions do begin somewhere.

"But for a show that’s supposed to teach you something - cooking, crafting, hosting, my questions is why are there no ingredients, no steps, no instructions on the screen? What is the point of watching if the viewers can’t follow along?' she noted.
