Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Thanksgiving preparations have been revealed.
In the latest newsletter for her lifestyle brand As Ever, the 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex gave supporters an update on her upcoming holiday season with her 41-year-old husband and their kids — son Archie, six, and daughter Lilibet, four.
She and her family are preparing for Thanksgiving at their $30 million Montecito, California home by harvesting sage from their garden. They’ll use the herb to season their homemade feast.
Sage is one of Markle’s “favorite” flavors, according to the newsletter (per the Daily Mail). She has been documenting “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.
However, this has not been a solo project of Markle’s, as the newsletter revealed that the entire family has been involved in the harvest.
She recalled “strolls” through the garden with Harry, Archie, Lilibet, and their two dogs and how growing sage was a part 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.
It added, “And that sage, that purple, that scent around the garden, was always there in the background.”
Markle isn’t just opening up about the precious moments spent with her family. She’s also promoting As Ever’s new Sage Honey with Honeycomb, which retails for $32.00 for a 9 oz. jar on the brand’s website.
The newsletter said that Markle was inspired to manufacture the product after adding her homegrown sage to the honey taken from her bees that also live in her backyard.

The homemade sage honey quickly became a family “treat” and even a well-loved present to friends. The “stunning” honey is now available to all.
“Here we are: a stunning sage honey, aromatic and earthy, epicurean in its depth of flavor and elegant simplicity, inspired by the treats she enjoys at her home with her family,” As Ever’s newsletter read.
“Our Sage Honey is now available for your holiday table, to beautifully dress your Thanksgiving feast—either on the bird or on the vegetables. Or in a vinaigrette. Or as a spoonful in your tea. This special honey is the top holiday tip you’ll want to share. Enjoy!”
Those who purchase Markle’s honey are given extra tips on how to use it to create their own “Montecito Thanksgiving love story.”
Combining As Ever’s Sage Honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, various spices, and cooking stock yields Markle’s delicious As Ever Sage Honey Glaze.
“When dreaming up the Holiday Collection months ago, Meghan imagined what it would taste like to have a sage honey drizzled on her Thanksgiving turkey,” the newsletter shared of the former royal’s vision.
The official As Ever Instagram account also shared a clip of Markle looking glamorous in a burgundy gown as she glazed a plump turkey at her family’s dinner table.
The video also showed Markle creating an elegant tablescape, including cloth napkins tied with green velvet ribbons that were placed on porcelain dishes.
The post, shared Tuesday, November 18, was captioned, “Our table is set with a seat just for you.”
Last November, Markle told Marie Claire that her and Prince Harry‘s Thanksgivings are “always pretty low-key.”
“I think you always make sure there’s room at the table for your friends who don’t have family, which is really key,” she shared at the time.
However, Markle insisted that Archie and Lilibet are her top priority, and that the holidays have become more enjoyable as they’ve grown older.
“We’re always making sure we have something fun to do. At first, I think as a mom with children you’re just enjoying having them there, but they’re not understanding everything that’s happening yet,” she explained. “But now we’re at the age where I just can’t wait to see it through their lens every year.”
