and Meghan Markle made headlines yesterday after they released

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex included six photographs on the card, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

In the sweet family snap, believed to have been taken at their Montecito home, the two children can be seen running up the path to embrace their parents, who look delighted to see their children.

While this was the photograph that caught the attention of thousands across the globe, especially considering the fact the couple have previously kept their children out of the public eye as much as possible, there are five other discreet details in the card that may have been missed.

Here Express.co.uk has taken a closer look at the Christmas card details you may have missed…

Lilibet’s hair

Princess Lilibet has very rarely been seen in public since she was born three years ago, however this new snap does show her looking very different compared to the last picture released of the princess in 2022 for her first birthday.

While changes are obviously expected as the princess gets older, Lilibet’s hair was seen to have drastically grown in this new picture as it was seen to fall just below her shoulders.

Although this may be a surprise to some royal fans, hinted at his daughter’s lovely long at the WellChild Awards in London just months ago.

As , the chief content officer (CCO) spoke with the Duke of Sussex as he “chatted animatedly about his children” ahead of the event.

Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon wrote: “Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair, he told us, self-effacingly, as he marvelled that it won’t .”

The lack of formality

While royal fans have undoubtedly noticed and focused on the new picture of and Meghan with their two children, not many have looked into the details behind the sweet snap.

From the glimpse given, it appears that the photograph was likely to have been taken where the family have been living since 2020.

The photograph also lacks formality and professionalism, suggesting that it was likely a sweet candid snap taken either by Meghan’s mum, Doria, or a close friend of the couple.

The delight seen on the couple’s face in the photograph, and the children’s delighted run, also suggests that the picture could have been taken as part of a family reunion, potentially after one of Harry and Meghan’s work engagements.

The location of the sweet family snap

The location of the sweet family photograph has also been overlooked since the couple released the sweet Christmas card yesterday.

While it is unconfirmed, it is believed the photograph of the couple with their children was taken in the privacy of their Montecito estate, the same place Meghan and Harry filmed most of their 2022 docuseries.

The garden, the backdrop of the photograph, is also the same place Meghan, 43, was photographed alongside her husband, 40, when pregnant with Princess Lilibet.

The couple’s dogs

Although many fans have been quick to talk about the appearance of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on the Christmas card, not many people have noted how the also feature in the photograph.

Looking on as the children reunite with their parents, two beagles and one black labrador can be seen standing either side of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

It is believed the couple adopted the black Labrador in 2018 when , a name which was chosen because of its links to Botswana, a country with strong romantic significance for the couple, The prince is reportedly often seen walking the dog to the local beach.

It is believed the beagles in the photograph are Guy, the before she met Harry, and Mamma Mia, a beagle the pair

The pictures from their trips abroad and solo work

Away from the sweet family photograph, the five other pictures in the Christmas card were also significant as they showed the couple both on their and in their solo work.

By including photographs of the couple by themselves meeting people, it is believed that this could be a nod to their increasingly frequent solo ventures. However, by including photographs from the couple’s recent overseas trips, including to Colombia and Nigeria, this could be a sign of how united the couple still are under their Archewell foundation.

One picture in particular from Colombia of hugging Meghan while giving her a kiss on the head could also be a way of the couple continuing to squash the rumours that a divorce is on the cards.

s that according to the media, he had already divorced multiple times.
