The Sussexes' Christmas card is officially here as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle implement some big changes.
On Friday, December 19, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed their Christmas cards; As always, they released one for the public and another for family and close friends. But this time, they surprised fans with an additional holiday video posted on their newly renamed Archewell Philanthropies (formerly Archewell Foundation).
“On behalf of the Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Archewell, we wish you a very happy holidays and a happy new year,” the attached document reads.
The video featured clips from various Archewell initiatives, but one moment stood out when Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet appeared during a Thanksgiving-related community outing in Los Angeles.
The siblings joined their parents when Archewell partnered with Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles to prepare meals for those in need. In the images, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, could be seen helping with food preparation and pushing a stroller alongside Meghan and Harry. Meghan previously shared glimpses of the same outing on her Instagram last month.
As well as spreading Christmas cheer, the video also serves to increase the involvement of Sussex children in Archewell's initiatives, which is one of the main reasons for its recent name change.
As Harry and Meghan explained, “This charity allows the couple and their children to expand their global philanthropic efforts as a family.”
Shortly after posting the video, the couple also shared a separate Christmas card with a photo of the two of them at the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler. Unlike last year, Archie and Lilibet did not appear in the photo.
The children last appeared in their parents' Christmas card in December 2024, when a candid photo showed them running towards Meghan and Harry.
