Happy Holidays: Harry and Meghan release gorgeous Christmas card

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released their Christmas card overnight, just in time for Christmas.

The card is gorgeous, and shows a glowing Meghan in an ink blue turtle neck and blue jeans, and nude slip-on flats, and is holding up a small baby. The baby, Lili, wears a very ute white frilled ensemble, and has a gorgeous smile, as she is bounced into the air by her mum, Meghan.

Meghan leans against Harry, who wears blue jeans, with a frayed left knee detail. Harry wears a blue chambray button-down, and a few small beaded bracelets around his wrist. Hary is beaming, and laughing as Meghan and Lili giggle beside him.

On Harry’s right knee, sits a lopsided Archie, now a young boy. Archie’s little blue jeans are cuffed, and his white button-down is adorable. He slips off Harry’s leg, as he glances, laughing toward Meghan and Lili. Strikingly, Archie’s hair is a deep fiery red, the same colour as Harry’s.

And here is Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s official holiday card, which features the first pictures of baby Lili!

“This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa’, and Lili made us a family,” the couple said. pic.twitter.com/klfjYdram0

The family sit on the ashy coloured doorstep of a property, with walnut-stained wooden frames, Christmas trees, and glass filling the background; potentially on their property in Santa Barbara.

While this is the first family photo of Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet all together, this is also the first photo of Lili that has been released by the not-royals since her birth in May 2021.

The shot was taken by HSH Alexi Lubomirski, Harry and Meghan’s preferred photographer for all official engagements. Lubomirski released a special stamp collection of official photos of Harry and Meghan, in commemoration of the couple’s wedding in 2018.

Prince Harry and Meghan have faced intense criticism ever since they stepped away from the Royal life in January 2020, to “step away from the limelight”. Whisking away their small family to Canada, then California.
