On Monday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle presented a Christmas card in which, as a family, they wish everyone happy holidays. The most exciting part is that with their message, they shared a new photo of their children Archie and Lilibeth, showing how much they have grown.
“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 Happy New Year,” reads the message written on the card that features a compilation of six photographs showing various recent trips taken by the dukes, such as those they made this year to Nigeria and Colombia.
In the photo where Prince Harry and Meghan are seen with their children, five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibeth can be seen running towards them, who are waiting for them with open arms. They were captured in a green area, it is unknown if it is in the garden of their home in Montecito, California, or if it is a park. In the image, the red hair of the children is noticeable, as well as their very fair skin like that of their father. Lilibeth was wearing a light dress with flowers and white knee-high socks, while her little brother was wearing jeans and a beige sweater.
In the photograph, the pets couldn’t be missing as part of the family. There were their three dogs, a black Labrador named Pula, as well as the two beagles, Guy and Mamma Mia, adopted in 2022.

The last time Prince Harry and Meghan presented their children on a Christmas card was in 2021 with a portrait of them carrying them. Lilibeth was just a few months old. The photo was taken by Alexi Lubomirski.
“Happy holidays. This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, into the world. Archie made us ‘mom’ and ‘dad,’ and Lili made us a family,” the couple expressed at that moment.
The difference between the 2021 Christmas card and the one from 2024 shows how much the children have grown, and how they are redheads like their dad.
