Harry and Meghan share rare photo of Archie and Lilibet in annual Christmas card

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have unveiled their annual Christmas card, featuring a rare glimpse of their children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, alongside highlights from their busy year. The couple’s children, who are seldom seen in public, appear in a heartwarming family photo included on the card.

The card, shared by royal commentator and Sussex friend Omid Scobie on X (formerly Twitter), showcases moments from Harry and Meghan’s travels, including their four-day tour of Colombia in August, as well as family time. One image captures the couple embracing during their trip, with Harry kissing Meghan’s head. Another features Archie and Lilibet running into their parents’ arms, surrounded by the family’s three dogs.

“The Sussexes share highlights of their year on the 2024 Archewell holiday card,” Scobie wrote in the post, which was met with praise from followers. “The kids are so big,” one fan commented, while another marveled, “They’ve grown up so much.” A third admirer noted, “I love this year’s card! It perfectly mixes the work they do and the love that exists between them.”

The card, which also tags Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, includes the couple’s message: “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, we wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and a joyful new year.”

The Sussexes will celebrate Christmas in the United States, Fox News reports, while the royal family continues their traditional festivities at Sandringham. King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and around 40 members of the royal family will gather on the Norfolk estate.

Meanwhile, Princess Kate, recovering from a cancer diagnosis revealed in March, has returned to public life. She attended a carol concert at Westminster Abbey on December 6, sharing a heartfelt Christmas message calling for “love, not fear.”
