Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have given their fans a special treat this holiday season. The couple, known for keeping their personal lives private, has released a heartwarming holiday card featuring their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The card, which has gone viral online, showcases a sweet family moment with their three dogs.
The photo montage on the card includes a picture of Princess Lilibet, 3, and Prince Archie, 5, running excitedly towards their parents. In the photo, Prince Harry is seen squatting down to greet Lilibet, whose red hair resembles her brother’s, while Meghan is seen beaming with joy at Archie. The presence of their dogs, Guy, Pula, and Momma Mia, adds to the warmth of the photo.
Fans have been quick to react to the holiday card, expressing their love and admiration for the family. Many have commented on the striking resemblance between the siblings and their father, with one fan writing, “Aww they both got Harry’s hair.” Another fan praised the family’s dynamic, saying, “Beautiful family. How adorable!”
The holiday card has also sparked a conversation about the couple’s decision to protect their children’s privacy. One fan wrote, “Aw! The family portrait is really adorable! Although I would really like to see the kids more, I completely understand their desire to keep them out of the spotlight.”
Prince Harry has previously shared endearing details about his children. In a speech at the WellChild Awards, Harry revealed that Archie and Lilibet have inherited their mother’s thick hair. He joked that it won’t be long before Lilibet can sit on her hair.
The couple’s children have been at the center of significant updates recently. Earlier this year, Archie and Lilibet officially adopted their royal titles as part of their last names. The titles were granted by King Charles III when he took the throne in 2022.
The decision to use the royal titles was made public when Princess Lilibet was christened in March 2023. The children’s names were subsequently changed to “Prince Archie of Sussex” and “Princess Lilibet of Sussex” on the royal family’s official website.
The use of “Sussex” as the family’s surname is consistent with royal customs, which often reflect paternal ancestry. The decision to adopt the royal titles and surname is a significant one, as it enshrines the children’s royal heritage and their parents’ history in their names.
As the royal family continues to evolve, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to balance their public and private lives has sparked a conversation about the importance of protecting one’s personal life. The couple’s commitment to their children’s privacy is admirable, and their holiday card has given fans a rare glimpse into their lives.
