It’s Meghan Markle’s first Thanksgiving back home in the U.S. this year, since she settled back in Los Angeles with Prince Harry and baby Archie – and while the family might not miss the chilly weather as they enjoy their Turkey Day feast in the mild California climate, we’re betting they’ll be missing tastes and treats from back in Britain – and maybe even including some in their Thanksgiving celebration
