Sweet Family Moment Draws Parallels to Iconic Diana Photograph
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have delighted fans with their 2024 Christmas card, offering a rare and joyful glimpse of their family life with children Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
The heartwarming image captures a candid moment as Archie and Lilibet run toward their smiling parents with open arms. Fans were quick to compare the photo to a cherished memory of Princess Diana embracing a young Prince William and Prince Harry aboard The Royal Yacht Britannia during a 1991 visit to Canada.
In the Sussexes’ festive scene, Archie wears jeans and a khaki jacket, while Lilibet shines in a floral dress and socks. The family is joined by their beloved dogs: black Labrador Pula, Beagle Guy, and their newest addition, Mamma Mia.
The nostalgic echoes of Diana’s vibrant red houndstooth jacket and her outstretched arms greeting her sons add an emotional layer to Harry and Meghan’s card, underscoring the enduring legacy of maternal warmth and connection.
The Sussexes have shared only a handful of public moments with their children. Their first official photo of Lilibet came in a 2021 holiday card, which marked the year their daughter “made us a family.” Other glimpses include a picture celebrating Lilibet’s first birthday at Frogmore Cottage in 2022 and brief appearances in the couple’s Netflix docuseries.
This year’s Christmas card adds a joyful new chapter to their growing collection of family memories, celebrating the love and togetherness that defines their festive season.
