A pleasant, but above all, surprising shock was to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for the first time in a long while.
Harry and Meghan Markle’s children have become the undisputed stars of the Christmas card that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared to celebrate the holidays this year.
On Monday, December 16, Meghan and Harry’s office published the card, which includes six images reflecting their official trips to Nigeria and Colombia, as well as their work with various foundations.
However, the image that has drawn the most attention is undoubtedly that of their adorable children.
Archie and Lili in Christmas Card
In the photo, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet look bigger than ever.
Meghan is shown smiling at Archie, while Harry bends down to greet Lili. The image also features their three dogs.
Among the striking details is how big the children are, especially Lili, who is sporting beautiful long red hair, similar to her older brother’s.
The card, with an elegant dark green background, includes the 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.”
This rare glimpse of the children is especially notable, as they were last seen in the documentary series “Harry & Meghan,” which premiered on Netflix in December 2022.
As expected, several fan accounts of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on social media shared the images, generating a wave of comments focused on how much the little ones have grown.
Harry and Meghan have made considerable efforts to protect their children’s privacy, and although they often mention Archie and Lilibet, they prefer to keep them away from the noise of social media and public comments, choosing not to expose them formally at any time.
Undoubtedly, the love they feel for their children is as great as their commitment to provide them with as normal a life as possible, away from public scrutiny.
These are some of the comments on social media:
- Isn’t Lilibet like 3 1/2? How’s she as tall as her older brother?
- My heart just melts looking at this pic!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️ what a beautiful family.
- The children are grown
- They are growing up so fast they’re going to tell Princess Lily and Prince Archie is I’m glad to get the Christmas card but I’m mostly extremely happy that they did not show their face so those UK trolls and royal family and you can media cannot make any money off their faces good for you Harry and Megan to protect your children
- Shouldn’t Prince Archie be bigger? He looks small
