The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have embraced the holiday spirit with the release of their 2024 Christmas card, giving the world a rare glimpse into their family life.
Harry and Meghan, who will celebrate Christmas at their home in Montecito, California, shared a heartwarming collection of photos as part of their annual holiday tradition.

The card features a standout image of their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, joyfully running toward their parents. In the background, the family’s three dogs add to the scene’s charm.
In addition to this touching family moment, the card includes five other snapshots showcasing Harry and Meghan’s travels earlier this year.
The couple visited Nigeria and Colombia, highlighting their commitment to global outreach and meaningful causes.
The message on the card, shared on behalf of Archewell Productions and the Archewell Foundation, reads: “We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year.”
A California Christmas
Harry and Meghan will spend the holidays at home, joined by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, for an intimate celebration.
While they’ve distanced themselves from many royal events since stepping back from their roles in 2020, the couple has carved out new traditions for their family in the United States.
Their last Christmas with the royal family was in 2018 at Sandringham, a gathering hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
This year, they declined an invitation to Althorp House, the childhood home of Princess Diana, citing ongoing concerns about security following the loss of their tax-funded protection earlier this year.
