The Sussexes have revealed their new family photo and a ‘Happy Holidays’ video featuring Archie and Lilibet.
Meghan Markle shared a family snap on her Instagram today ahead of Christmas, showing the beaming couple with their two children, Archie, six, and Lilibet, four.
The candid family portrait taken in the soft California sun shows Prince Harry holding Archie’s face who has his arms wrapped around the Duke of Sussex, while Meghan leans towards Lilibet holding her daughter’s hands.
Her caption says: ‘Happy Holidays! From our family to yours.’

Some hours earlier, Harry and Meghan had released a ‘Happy Holidays’ video detailing what the Sussexes have been up to this year.
In an almost two-minute video, viewers see the couple’s charity work and the people they have met, with a festive, jazzy tune playing on the background.
Those viewers who stick to watching the video until the end are awarded with a glimpse of Archie and Lilibet helping Meghan and Harry push a tray of baked goodies, with the family donning aprons and caps.
The clip, only showing Lilibet and Archie from behind, was taken at an LA charity called Our Big Kitchen helping the poor and homeless on Thanksgiving.
Harry and Meghan also put out their official Christmas card, showing the couple smiling and dressed in winter attire at the Invictus Games in Canada in February.
The Sussexes’ seasonal greeting comes after William and Catharine released their new family portrait for their 2025 Christmas card.
Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, have kept themselves busy while working on their Netflix ventures this year.
The lifestyle show, ‘With Love, Meghan’, premiered on the streaming platform in March, and they are reportedly stepping into producing a rom-com adaptation of the novel ‘The Wedding Date’ via Archewell Productions.
It shows the Prince and Princess of Wales sitting on grass surrounded by daffodils with Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
Elsewhere, King Charles shared a personal update about his cancer journey last week via a video message.
The monarch revealed that his cancer treatment is being reduced in the new year, thanks to an early diagnosis, successful care and following doctors’ orders.
The 77-year-old urged nine million people in the UK who are not up to date with their cancer screenings to take up their invitation to get ‘the chance to enable early detection, with the life-saving intervention that can follow.’
