The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent Christmas greetings this week with a card that features six of their favorite photos from this year. Among them was a snapshot of their son, 5, and Daughter, Lilibet, 3. The photo shows the royal parents on a brick road. They’re opening their arms as they prepare to embrace their children, who are running to them.

“On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation,” it begins. “We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year.”

The card also features pictures from Harry and Meghan’s visits to Nigeria and Colombia.

It has been years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared a photo of their children. The two have vowed to keep Archie and Lilibet’s lives private to help them maintain a more normal childhood, and the last time they shared a glimpse of their young family was in their 2022 Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

“Harry has been reluctant to show his children publicly,” a friend of the prince told People in August, “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,” he added. “As a dad and husband, Harry is determined to ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself.”

According to People, the couple sent the featured holiday card to professional contacts. They also mailed a second card to their close friends and family that they will not share with the public.
