Two words: duvet day

From Kate Middleton-approved hobbies to candlestick-vase hacks, Meghan Markle’s Netflix show is filled with hosting tips, cooking inspiration and Prince Harry cameos. Although they currently live in California, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, confirmed that they still incorporate U.K. traditions into their lifestyle.

Markle recently sat down for a Substack interview with a Montecito bookstore called Godmothers, where she shared never-before-heard details about her weekly rituals with her two children, Archie and Lilibet.

The royal revealed that they’ve adopted a U.K. tradition called “duvet day,” which basically involves lounging around and spending time with family. 

“Saturday morning cartoons in bed is also high on my list,” Markle said. “In the U.K., they call it a ‘duvet day,’ and I’ve always found that sweet.”

She continued, “Our little family, snuggled up for an easy family morning followed by pancakes and bacon. The dream.”

Markle also revealed the one item that can elevate a cozy day: cashmere socks. “Cashmere socks are an indulgence I love—but I also love the cashmere-like socks you find online that are easy to wash and super affordable,” she said. “I don’t know what it is, but cozy, cuddled-up feet make me feel comforted. I also love finding a good deal.”

I’m totally stealing this family tradition.
