“If you don’t want to make pancakes, don’t make pancakes,” Meghan told viewers with a warm smile. “Just get the ones in the freezer section.”
She then demonstrated how to elevate even the simplest breakfast by creating a “yoghurt parfait station” for guests and kids, using glasses instead of bowls to make the morning meal feel a little more “special”.
“All of this is great for kids,” Meghan noted. In the video, she layered yoghurt with berries and honey and artfully cut raspberries and blueberries.

Waffles, it turns out, are a beloved staple in the Sussex household. During a 2021 appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Prince Harry shared that the late Queen Elizabeth II once gifted their son Archie a waffle maker for Christmas.

Meghan’s video, titled “Easy Morning Hosting with As Ever”, also showcases her emphasis on making guests and family feel cared for.

The duchess added: “We’re just presenting it in a way that feels a little bit more enticing. People can wake up in the morning and feel cared for, which I think is half of the joy of the holiday.”
