Summary
- According to reports, Harry and Meghan may be preparing to continue a long-standing royal tradition by releasing a Christmas card featuring their family.
- A Christmas photograph featuring Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet together would potentially attract significant international attention, particularly because Christmas cards have traditionally been an important part of royal family celebrations.
- If the Sussexes do release a family Christmas card featuring Archie and Lilibet, it could become one of their most closely watched public family moments since leaving royal duties.
With the festive season approaching, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering a major surprise for their first Christmas celebration in the United Kingdom since returning from the United States.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who returned to Britain in August with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are expected to spend the holiday season as a family. The couple left their senior royal roles in 2020 and subsequently moved to the United States, where they have largely raised their children away from the public spotlight.
According to reports, Harry and Meghan may be preparing to continue a long-standing royal tradition by releasing a Christmas card featuring their family. However, the card could carry an additional significance if the couple decides to show their children’s faces publicly for the first time.
Although Meghan has occasionally included Archie and Lilibet in photographs and videos shared through her social media accounts, the couple has generally avoided showing their children’s faces clearly. They have maintained a high level of privacy around their children while allowing limited glimpses into their family life.
Now, sources cited by commentator Rob Shuter claim that the Sussexes could be moving closer to a full reveal.
“They’re getting closer and closer to the big reveal,” a source reportedly said.
The source further suggested that the couple’s approach to sharing their children’s lives has gradually changed. According to the insider, the public initially saw only limited glimpses of Archie and Lilibet, followed by more personal moments from their family life.
The source also pointed to a recent video in which Lilibet could be heard speaking, suggesting that the Christmas card could represent the next step in the family’s decision to share more publicly.
A Christmas photograph featuring Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet together would potentially attract significant international attention, particularly because Christmas cards have traditionally been an important part of royal family celebrations.
The latest speculation follows another personal glimpse of Lilibet shared by Meghan earlier this week.
On Tuesday, October 6, the former Suits actress posted a video showing her daughter helping her prepare fruit spread. In the clip, Meghan could be heard asking Lilibet what she thought of their creation.
Lilibet responded, “I think it’s beautiful,” giving followers another rare opportunity to hear the young royal’s voice.
The couple’s decision regarding their Christmas card has not been officially confirmed, and it remains unclear whether Archie and Lilibet’s faces will actually be shown if a card is released.
Where will Harry and Meghan spend Christmas?
Despite their recent return to the United Kingdom, Harry and Meghan are reportedly expected to celebrate Christmas in the United States with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
The reported plans would allow the family to spend the holiday together in a private setting away from the formal royal Christmas celebrations.
If the Sussexes do release a family Christmas card featuring Archie and Lilibet, it could become one of their most closely watched public family moments since leaving royal duties.
For now, however, the reported plans remain speculation, and neither Harry nor Meghan has publicly confirmed that their children’s faces will be revealed in this year’s Christmas card.
