Every year royal fans sit with their bated breaths to get a peek into the Sussexes Holiday cards. Considering how particular they are about protecting their private lives, Holiday cards are the only way fans get to see a little bit of the Sussexes beyond their conferences, tours and charity events. This time, fans got very lucky. Not only did they get to see Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Californian way of life but also their sweet children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who, by the way, are not so little anymore. 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently sent their annual digital Christmas greetings with a Holiday card and offered a glimpse into their Montecito life. In one photo, the couple was seen with their arms open as their children ran toward them. While the little Princess wore a summer dress, her older brother, was wearing a khaki jumper and jeans. Although Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s faces were obscured in the photo, it did provide a rare glimpse of the kids who were not seen in public since their brief moment in the docuseries Harry & Meghan. 

In the last two years, Princess Lilibet's golden hair seems to have grown longer than her shoulders. The couple did not leave out their dogs either- the beagles, Mamma Mia and Guy, and their black Labrador, Pula. Just beyond, the tranquil garden that surrounds their $23 million mansion was featured as well. Nonetheless, fans could not notice any of that but just the little ones who seem to be growing up too fast.

Fans took to X, expressing how adorable the family picture of the Sussexes looked in the Holiday card. 

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been very careful about not letting their children come under the media spotlight. Earlier this year a source told PEOPLE the Sussexes do this in order to “protect their privacy and safety from potential threats”. Nonetheless, even though fans could only see the back of the five and three-year-old, they could tell it was a happy moment and blessed the lovely family on X.

Many fans could not help but be completely awed by the picture. “Too cute,” they wrote. 

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared several other pictures in the Holiday card- including pictures from their controversial royal-esque tours to Columbia and Nigeria. But it is safe to say that the family picture stole the attention from any other feature in the Holiday card.
