Speaking about the event, Meghan, 43, said: “From my standpoint, I think part of why we wanted to make sure we had this opportunity to all be together…is that as the holidays come up, it brings up so much emotion for people.
“You miss home, you miss your country, and also can find comfort in the new community that you have here.”
For the event, Meghan’s outfit came to a whopping £65,050.
The duchess wore a £305 sleeveless turtleneck from Leset, which she paired with £1,100 trousers from Gabriela Heart.

Meghan continued to tell Marie Claire: “All of you have stories to tell, and the power of you telling them and sharing them…is what will help propel the change that we all dream of.
“For so many of them, it would be very easy to go, ‘My life has ended, because everything I knew…is gone.’
“But these moments of togetherness…remind them that no, your life is just beginning.”
Speaking about Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Meghan said: “Every single holiday is a new adventure…It’s important for me that they experience the magic of traditions.”
