This holiday season, Meghan Markle and her mother, Doria Ragland, are expected to join the royal family for Christmas festivities. That means they’ll be stepping into some of the quirkiest traditions that Queen Elizabeth's clan has been upholding for years — like being weighed before and after their Christmas feast. Yes, you heard me right!
According to Grazia Daily and Majesty editor Ingrid Seward, this unusual practice dates all the way back to the reign of King Edward VII. Back in his day, the king had a bit of a fixation with making sure everyone got their fill during the holidays. So, he started weighing his family members before and after their Christmas meals. His reasoning? He wanted to ensure no one went hungry. Now, that’s one way to show concern, I guess.
But Is Weighing Really Necessary in 2023?
But here’s the thing — Queen Elizabeth’s family isn’t exactly skipping meals on Christmas Day. In fact, they enjoy not one, not two, but three big feasts in a single day. So, is weighing people before and after dinner really necessary? Probably not. But according to Ingrid Seward, the tradition lives on, albeit for fun now. The royals use antique scales to keep the spirit alive, so Meghan and Doria, get ready for a unique holiday experience!
