Meghan said her mother “saves a portion on the side” for Harry as a result of his food preferences.
“My mom makes you turkey sausage, so this one has more kick,” he warned. “I’ll give you a towel. You’re going to sweat.”
“Wonderful,” Harry replied.

“I can feel myself drilling into the top of my head right now,” he joked. “It’s delicious. I’m not so sure it’s as good as your mom’s, but it’s certainly close.”

“Living in the UK, it’s such a big part of (the culture) for the Christmas holidays, that’s for sure,” he explained. “Usually people cross their arms and do that. So they sit around a table and they all stretch at the same time.”
Meghan added: “It actually feels very connected and sweet.”
The Duchess also shared her history with the toy before making them for Harry and his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
“The way I really started to get to know them was that they would always have a joke or fortune-sized riddle inside or something sweet,” he recalled. The Christmas cracker is a cardboard party favor often filled with confetti and tied at both ends. People separate them during the holidays to have a surprise, or most likely a paper hat.
“We always want confetti inside,” Meghan said as she began making hers. When creating one for Harry specifically, she added “a little love letter, a chocolate (and) a little hat.”
