Prince Harry roasted Meghan Markle’s cooking during the Netflix special “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.”
In the episode, which premiered on Wednesday, the Duchess of Sussex cooked up a Christmas feast with celebrity chef Tom Colicchio, making sure to feature one of her family’s favorites: gumbo.
“Hi, guys, I smelled gumbo,” the Duke of Duchess said as he shyly walked in, hands in his pockets, and kissed his wife on the lips.

“Gumbo, for me, is one of my favorites. Especially her mom’s, but before the fish goes in,” Harry, 41, told Colicchio.
Markle, 44, went on to note that her mom, Doria Ragland– who makes gumbo as their Christmas Eve meal — “saves a portion on the side” for Harry because of his food preferences.
“My mom does the turkey sausage for you, so this one has more kick to it,” she warned of the andouille sausage she had added to the dish.
“It is delicious. I’m not so sure it’s as good as your mom’s, but it’s certainly close,” he told her. Netflix

Markle also paid tribute to her husband’s Christmas traditions during the show when she and restaurateur Will Guidara made Christmas crackers — the toy, not the food — together.
“Living in the UK, it’s such a part of [the culture] for Christmas holidays, for sure,” she explained.
“Typically people cross arms and do it. So they sit around a table and they all pull at the same time.”
Markle added, “It actually does feel really connected and sweet.”
