The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have unveiled a delightful Christmas card for 2024.

The card offers a rare glimpse of their family life.

It features a series of six images, including an outdoor moment with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

In the main image, the couple is shown about to embrace their children, according to Sky News.

The card carries a festive message from their team.

It reads: “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.”

The images also highlight personal and professional moments from the couple’s year, according to Hello Magazine.

The Duke and Duchess share a laugh in a candid shot taken in a crowd, radiating warmth and joy.

In one image, Prince Harry and Meghan wear sunglasses and smile at an outdoor event. The final photograph is deeply moving, showing Harry holding the hand of a man lying in bed.

The Sussexes have sent this card digitally, showcasing their commitment to sustainable practices.

However, they are reserving a separate, private card for close family and friends.

CONTROLLING THE IMAGE

Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and moving to California, the couple has carefully controlled their public image, according to BBC.

They’ve shielded their children from the limelight, making this festive glimpse of Archie and Lilibet even more significant.

Their South African fans may recall Meghan and Harry’s visit to the country in 2019, which highlighted their focus on community and social issues.

Meghan’s embrace of a young girl in the Christmas card echoes the compassionate gestures the couple often displayed during their tour.

DEDICATED TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE

A close source shared: “This card reflects who they are – loving parents and individuals dedicated to making a difference.

The images are personal yet meaningful, celebrating the joy of the season and the spirit of giving.”

The Duke and Duchess have often used their platform to promote values like family, kindness, and philanthropy.

Their Archewell Foundation, which features in the card’s message, supports various charitable causes.

PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN BALANCING PUBLIC LIFE

South African fans may find inspiration in the couple’s example. As they balance public life and personal privacy, they continue to advocate for compassion and positive change.

For those wondering, the cost of sending a premium digital card like theirs can range from $50 (around R950) to $200 (approximately R3,800). This depends on design and distribution.

THE FESTIVE SEASON

Their choice aligns with the growing trend of digital greetings, which are both cost-effective and eco-friendly.

As the festive season continues, this heartfelt glimpse into Harry and Meghan’s life brings a little sparkle and warmth, reminding us of the value of love and connection.
