Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Reveal Christmas Card Photo With Children

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave fans a look at their family of four with the unveiling of their 2021 Christmas card, which featured the couple and their two children, 2-year-old Archie Harrison and their daughter, Lilibet Diana, who was born on June 4.

This is the first time fans have seen a photo of the couple’s daughter. The photo, which featured on their card, shared how their family was complete with fans and that they had celebrated by making donations in honor of card recipients.

“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. As we look forward to 2022, we have made donations on our behalf to several organizations that honor and protect families — from those being relocated from Afghanistan to American families in need of paid parental leave,” the card reads.

Fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski took the picture, which was also posted to his Instagram.

“This is one of those rare and special projects, that one is fortunate enough to be a part of. To be able to continue the story of this family whom I first photographed as an engaged couple, then on the day of their wedding, as a married couple and now seeing their love manifest into two beautiful children, has been a delightful honour,” the caption of his post read.

The photo was also shared with Team Rubicon, a volunteer organization focused on disaster relief, serving vulnerable and at-risk populations, and right now is focused on the resettlement of Afghan refugees in the U.S. The Archewell Foundation, a non-profit created by Harry and Meghan, has been supporting Team Rubicon in their efforts.

Team Rubicon posted the photo on their website.

“We’re grateful to Archewell Foundation and Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their support of our efforts to welcome Afghan families into communities across the country. We are honored to be amongst the organizations featured in their family’s holiday card this year,” a statement from the organization read.

Other organizations listed on the card were Welcome.US, Human First Coalition, Humanity Crew, Paid Leave For All, PL + US, and Marshall Plan For Moms.

The card ends with the text “wishing you a happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year from our family to yours!” and signed “As ever, Harry, Meghan, Archie & Lili.”

In recent royal news, Queen Elizabeth II canceled her Christmas plans over concerns about the Omicron variant surge in the U.K. and around the world.
