A source revealed that the Sussexes have an "open door policy" for Thanksgiving, emphasizing the importance of making room for friends without family. Meghan shared with 'Marie Claire' magazine, "I was thinking about, in the past few years of having Thanksgiving here, like many of us, I think you always make sure there's room at the table for your friends who don't have family, which is really key."

The family planned to "enjoy the long weekend and having time together without distractions." Meghan's enthusiasm for the holiday is evident as she creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in her home, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and cherished.
