Meghan Markle's First Royal Christmas: A Tradition Of Watching 'EastEnders'

It’s been quite the unusual holiday season for the royal family. Rumors are swirling, and it seems like everyone's on edge. Reports suggest that Queen Elizabeth is genuinely worried about the alleged tension between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton potentially ruining Christmas. But wait, there's more! According to a new report, the Queen has something else in store for Meghan: a good old-fashioned British TV marathon. Sounds fun, right?

Queen Elizabeth's Unlikely Tradition

A trusted royal insider has spilled the beans to The Sun, revealing that Meghan should get ready for some quality screen time. As part of a long-standing family tradition, the Duchess of Sussex will be joining the royal family to watch none other than EastEnders on Christmas day. For those who aren't familiar, EastEnders is a beloved British soap opera that's been captivating audiences since 1985—yes, that’s 37 years of dramatic storylines, unexpected twists, and characters coming back from the dead (or so it seems).

Why EastEnders?

According to the insider, the Queen is a huge fan of EastEnders, and every Christmas, without fail, the television is tuned in to this iconic soap. The show's theme tune becomes the unofficial anthem of the day. This tradition is as set in stone as the Queen’s annual Christmas speech. "It’s an unlikely family tradition, but non-negotiable," the source added. And in a playful twist, some family members have already joked about turning on the subtitles this year, just in case Meghan needs a little extra help keeping up with the rapid-fire British banter.
