Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared their annual Christmas card, just days after releasing the second part of their Netflix series with many unsettling claims against the Royal Family.

Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, are seen holding hands and smiling for the snap that was taken at the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights Awards in early December.

They have gained over 3,000 likes on the black and white image, since it was posted it on their official Archwell Sussex Instagram account. However, the Sussexes, who have 57,000 followers, have left fans asking “where are Archie and Lili?” and unhappy that their children aren’t in the image.

Meghan is seen wearing a stunning off the shoulder white dress and Harry dons a blue suit, as both smile and look away from the camera.

Words written alongside the image read: “Wishing you a joyful Holiday Season,”

“From our family to yours, and behalf of our teams at the Archewell Foundation, Archewell Audio and Archwell Productions, we wish you health, peace, and a very happy new year!”

Signing the card off with their nicknames for each other “Haz” and “Meg” alongside their official titles “Prince Harry and Meghan. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex” written underneath.

Social media users were quick to comment on the image. One wrote: “You deserve peace, good health, and happiness. Ignore the haters - says more about them than it does about you. Hold your heads high and continue living your best lives.”

Another commented: “Joyous & Beautiful Blessings to you both I continue to applaud both of you for speaking out against the British Press & The Firm. Hold your head high!”

A third penned: “We love you, Harry and Meghan. Thank you for making a difference in this cruel world.”

A fourth added: “May the spirit of God dwell with you and your beautiful family throughout the season and a prosperous 2023.”

This comes after Kate and William released their Christmas card with a snap alongside their children on a sunny day in Norfolk last week and gained over 2 million likes.

The Royal family attended the Together at Christmas Carol service hosted by Kate on the same day Harry and Meghan’s new episodes aired.
