Just in time for the holidays, the couple, who are well-known for their private lives and royal connections, provided a unique and endearing look at their developing kids.
With a heartwarming picture of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are spreading holiday cheer. On Monday, December 16, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released their 2024 holiday card, which immediately went viral online. The card showed a sweet family moment with their three dogs.
The card’s focal point, a six-photo montage, features a picture of Princess Lilibet, age three, and Prince Archie, age five, running excitedly toward their parents. In the picture, Harry, 40, squats down to greet Lilibet, whose red hair resembles her brother’s, while Meghan, 43, is seen grinning broadly at Archie. The presence of Guy, Pula, and Mommy Mia—the family’s cherished dogs—frames the picture.
The card also carries a festive message: “On behalf of the offices 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 card also includes other images that showcase moments from Harry and Meghan’s earlier this year trips to Nigeria and Colombia.
The Sussexes, who don’t often post pictures of their kids, have given their fans a very special holiday card this year. As the family welcomes the Christmas season, the private family moment provides a unique glimpse of Archie and Lilibet, who are now more mature, sharing joy.
Fans have also been quick to post their thoughts and emotions on social media, expressing their love and respect for this.
On Instagram, one wrote, “Aww they both got Harrys [sic] hair😍.” Another chimed in, “Awww, so cute! Lovely family.” Reflecting on the touching family dynamic, a user noted, “Princess Lili is definitely daddy’s girl 🥹.”
Others couldn’t help but admire the siblings’ resemblance to their dad, with a comment reading, “beautiful [sic] family of redheads ❤️.”
Another fan highlighted the standout feature of the heart-melting family portrait—“Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie’s hair 🥹.” Noticing Lilibet’s growth, a user observed, “Lilibet is almost as tall as Archie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
Some fans praised the couple’s decision to maintain their children’s privacy while sharing this small glimpse. One user expressed, “Awww! I love the family photo! I would love to see the kids more, but I fully respect them wanting to keep the kids out of the spotlight. Those are for sure Harry’s kids with that red hair!” Another succinctly added, “Ginger ❤️❤️❤️😍❤️😍❤️.”
On X (formerly Twitter), the sentiment continued, with one user proclaiming, “The most beautiful redheads appeared.”
Although the holiday card provided a new look at his kids, Prince Harry has already revealed endearing details about them. During his speech at the WellChild Awards, where he has been a patron for many years, Harry shared a sweet fact about Archie and Lilibet.
The father of two proudly revealed what the children got from their mother in the October 2024 issue of Hello! Magazine.
Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon, chief content officer for Hello!, recalled that conversation with Harry, stating, “Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair; he told us, self-effacingly, as he marveled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers.”
Vokes-Dudgeon added that Harry appeared at ease and hopeful about the next phase of his life. He said that acquaintances had told him that his forties were “the best decade” and praised Meghan’s steadfast support at home.
Harry revealed that in addition to the couple’s two kids, Meghan was occupied with their three dogs, whom he humorously referred to as “not quite house-trained.” Harry made lighthearted references to their poultry, adding to their busy family life and suggesting a vibrant dynamic in the home.
