The Sussexes’ holiday card is officially here as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle implement major 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 close family and friends. But this time, they surprised fans with an additional festive video released about their new organization 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,” we can read in the accompanying text.
The video featured clips from various Archewell initiatives, but one moment stood out when Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet appeared at a Thanksgiving-related community outing in Los Angeles.
The siblings joined their parents as Archewell teamed up with Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles to prepare meals for those in need. In the footage, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, could be seen helping with meal preparation and pushing a trolley alongside Meghan and Harry. Meghan previously shared glimpses of the same outing on her Instagram last month.
As well as spreading holiday 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 charitable entity allows the couple and their children to expand their global philanthropic efforts as a family.”
Shortly after the video surfaced, the couple also shared a separate greeting card featuring a photo of the two of them at the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler. Unlike last year, Archie and Lilibet were not photographed.
The children last appeared in their parents’ holiday card in December 2024, when a candid photo showed them running towards Meghan and Harry.
