00:00The holidays are nigh, and Meghan Markle is about to celebrate her first Thanksgiving and Christmas as royal, but all accounts, by all accounts, I'm sorry, it's going to be pretty weird.
00:10Sparkle, Markle?
00:10Well, first up, Thanksgiving. Some questions, some question whether the American-born Meghan will be allowed to celebrate the holiday, seeing as it commemorates that time many English-born pilgrims set forth on a long and dangerous voyage to flee political and religious persecution in their homeland.
00:25I thought she and the royal family were going to go visit with the dad.
00:28You're in the States.
00:30Last year, Meghan celebrated with her mother, Doria Raglin, in California.
00:34What's going to happen is to be determined, but the queen reportedly hasn't forbidden the celebration by royal decree, and Meghan and Prince Harry don't have any events scheduled for the day, so she may be indulging in turkey and stuffing behind closed doors.
00:47Now, for Christmas, meanwhile, we want to hope she doesn't eat too much gravy, because listen to this.
00:53I've never heard of this before.
00:54She will have to be weighed before her Christmas meal, per a juicy new report hailing from the royal expert, Ingrid Seward.
01:04Apparently, every member of the royal family, including Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, must be weighed before and after dinner on Christmas Day.
01:14All right.
01:14Wait.
01:15After dinner, and do they get to poop first?
01:19That I don't know about.
01:21What is this about, this bizarre thing?
01:24It's a tradition.
01:25Okay, apparently, the queen asks guests to weigh themselves to ensure they're being well-fed.
01:30Oh, okay.
01:31And once weighed, the guests must enter the dining room in order of seniority.
01:36Once seated, the head chef carves the turkey, and paper hats are donned, but not by the queen.
01:42So everybody has to wear a stupor.
01:44Look at us, we're wearing our paper hats, and it's so much fun.
01:48Where is the scale so we can see if we've put a lot of food into our dummies?
01:54Oh, look, and I folded a flap on my paper hat.
01:57Oh, much fun.
01:58So much fun.
01:59Yes.
01:59Later on, we'll go out to a pit and murder some peasants.
02:03Oh, my God.
02:05Damn.
02:06I've seen the paper hat thing, though.
02:07I love Christmas for the annual slaughtering of the peasants.
02:12In a pit.
02:13In a pit with our paper hats.
02:16And the one who catches my paper hat will be spared.
02:21Oh, that's a nice tradition.
02:22Merry Christmas.
02:23Merry Christmas to you and your family.
02:26Congratulations on your adroit paper hat catching skills.
02:29Oh, my God.
02:31You're free to go.
02:31Now, for the rest of them, line up.
02:37You're free to go.
