The Duchess of Sussex offered her followers a sneak peek into her Thanksgiving feast prep by sharing a video of herself seasoning a turkey.
Meghan Markle, 44, took to Instagram to share a short video captioned ‘Let the game begin. Get It? #mom joke’ as she mixed an array of seasonings into a bowl.
In the quick clip, Meghan Markle is seen applying a spice mix to the uncooked turkey before placing it into the oven—noticeably without using any butter.
This video was released not long after Meghan unveiled an elegant teaser for her festive Netflix special, where she shared a romantic moment with Prince Harry and discussed the importance of ’embracing tradition.’
Previously, she had shared a brief trailer to mark the holiday season with a unique edition of “With, Love Meghan” last week.
Referring to this time of year as an opportunity to ‘connect with the people we love,’ the video captures a sweet kiss between Meghan and Harry.
She shared this trailer on her Instagram just before Prince William and Princess Kate were set to appear at the glamorous Royal Variety Performance.
The future King and Queen dazzled as they arrived at the annual charity event alongside stars at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

In Meghan’s Netflix trailer, she seemingly gave the audience a glimpse into how she, the Duke, and their two children, Archie, six, and four-year-old Lilibet, celebrate.
Tennis champion Naomi Osaka, chef Tom Colicchio, hospitality expert Will Guidara, philanthropist Kelly McKee Zajfen and longtime friend Lindsay Roth also join Meghan in the festive cheer.
‘Being a hostess or a host is about making people feel comfortable,’ she said, while noting the gift-giving season was about ’embracing tradition’.
In one part of the trailer, the mother-of-two can be seen organising a plate of Christmas-themed cookies alongside milk in a personalised Santa mug with Archie and Lilibet’s names.
Elsewhere, she’s spotted grinning while painting snowflake sweet treats and preparing crafted advent calendars for them with notes and special gifts.
While plugging a trio of her £27 ($36) As Ever jams, she encouraged fans to ‘unwrap the magic’.
Similar to the main series of With Love Meghan, the Christmas edition was filmed in Montecito, where the Duchess lives with Harry, Archie and Lilibet.
The show is not filmed in the Sussexes’ California home, but in an $8million (£6.2million) farmhouse owned by Tom and Sherrie Cipolla, both philanthropists.
The couple live a stone’s throw away from the Duke and Duchess $14.65 million (£11.1million) home, the Decor reported.

The Duchess Of Sussex, 44, revealed that she, Harry, 41, and their kids – son Archie, six, and daughter Lilibet, four – harvest sage from their garden to season their homemade feast
The advert isn’t the first time the Duchess has given fans insight into how the Sussexes celebrate big events.
In her latest newsletter for As Ever, the 44-year-old shared that she, Harry, 41, and the children harvest sage from their garden for their homemade Thanksgiving feast.
Sage is among Markle’s ‘favourite’ flavours, according to the newsletter, and she’s been documenting herself ‘flowering sage’ in her backyard on Instagram over the last year.
‘Those photos you’ve seen this year on our Instagram of Meghan walking through what seems like lavender, with its gorgeous purple hue, actually share the beauty of flowering sage (Fun fact: the varietal is called Santa Barbara),’ the newsletter said.
But this has not been a solo project of Markle’s, as it was revealed that the entire family has been involved in the backyard harvest.
She recalled ‘strolls’ through the garden with the family and their two pet dogs and how sage served as the backdrop of their family’s ‘sun-drenched moments’ together.
‘Those strolls, with Archie and Lili running in tow, her husband checking on the bees, Pula chasing the ball with Mia trying to keep up — those were the sun-drenched moments that made an everyday walk something a bit more magical,’ said the newsletter.
‘And that sage, that purple, that scent around the garden, was always there in the background.’
The sweet anecdote from Markle’s family life also served to promote As Ever’s new Sage Honey with Honeycomb, which retails for $32.00 (£24.48) for a 9oz jar on the official website.
