In the ‘Happy Holidays’ card, a mixture of photographs were used of the couple’s charitable work and the pair looking loved up, however one picture of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with their two children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, got royal fans talking.
The photograph showed the children running up to their parents for hugs, with Harry and Meghan having their arms outstretched. The faces of the two children, who are rarely photographed, were not shown.

They said: “Harry has been reluctant to show his children publicly, not out of a desire to hide them but to protect their privacy and safety from potential threats. He wants them to lead as normal a life as possible without the fear of kidnapping or harm.”
