Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared their 2024 Christmas card, featuring a joyful family photo with their children. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s card showcases a new picture of their kids, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. One of the six photos in the greeting captures the children from behind as they excitedly run towards their parents.

The image in the montage, set on a dark green background with little shite stars, shows Meghan smiling at Archie while Harry greets Lilibet, confirming his recent comments about her long red hair – just like her older brother’s. “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation,” the card’s message read.

The montage also included five other snaps of Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, from their trips to Nigeria and Colombia this year.

“We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year,” it concluded. Despite stepping back as working royals nearly five years ago, the Sussexes have maintained the tradition of sharing the picture used on their Christmas card like other members of the Royal Family.

Last year’s card featured a snap of the couple beaming at the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf with Harry looking dapper in a black shirt and jacket combo and Meghan donning an elegant dark green strapless gown, reports the Mirror.

It also did away with tradition by not featuring their two adorable children, Archie and Lilibet. Meanwhile, the pair kept their 2022 greetings super sleek, with a captivating black and white photograph that showcased the couple alone – Meghan looking absolutely chic in an elegant white off-shoulder dress and Harry next to her in a timeless suit and tie, set against a vibrant red backdrop.

The heartfelt message on the card read: “From our family to yours, and on behalf of our team at The Archewell Foundation, Archewell Audio, and Archewell Productions, we wish you health, peace, and a very happy new year! ” Flashback to their 2021 card, when little Lilibet charmed everyone by gracing the photo with her debut appearance, as they all sported a relaxed denim get-up sitting on their porch at home. The family was pictured enjoying a laugh with baby Lilibet the center of attention.

And who could forget their 2020 greeting, where they switched up the classic wintery scene for a slice of their sunny Montecito home life? With Archie and their two dogs, Guy and Pula, alongside them, they beamed joyfully from inside a festive garden shed.
