Since stepping back from their lives as senior working members of the royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have kept their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, out of the spotlight over in California – so fans of the family are delighted that their new Christmas card features not only Harry and Meghan, but Archie and Lilibet too!
The Christmas card features six different images from Meghan and Harry, ranging from them affectionately cuddled up to one of Meghan solo hugging a little girl and Harry visiting a man in a hospital bed. The photo featuring their children shows Archie and Lili pictured from behind, running towards their parents.
It was sent out to those signed up to the Archewell, the Sussexes organisation, mailing list.
As well as being shocked by just how much the children appear to have grown, plenty of commenters have pointed out how Archie and Lili both share the same striking red tones in their hair (just like their father).
"A household full of gingers! Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet look so tall!" wrote one person over on X, getting over 1,000 likes in response.
Another added, "I cannot get over how beautiful Prince Archie & Princess Lilibet are & look at those Spencer ginger genes!! oh my world! Their Granny Princess Diana would have been over the moon seeing them & probably is watching over them!"
Everyone's clicking on...
A third tweeted, "Lili is so tall now and both have beautiful red hair."
Prince Archie is now 5 and his sister Princess Lilibet is 3. Recently, while speaking to Marie Claire, Meghan said the festive period just gets better and better the older her children become.
"Every single holiday is a new adventure [...] At first, I think as a mom with children you're just enjoying having them there, but they're not understanding everything that's happening yet," the Duchess of Sussex said. "Now we're at the age where I just can't wait to see it through their lens every year."
Super cute!
