The Duchess of Sussex shared a sweet
insight into her family’s dynamic as she and her husband on their Christmas
card last week. The message on the photo card revealed what Harry and
Meghan’s two-year-old son Archie, and his baby sister Lilibet, will grow up
calling their parents – Mama and Papa.
The note read: “Happy Holidays. This
year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa’,
and Lili made us a family.”
This was also the first time that Harry and
Meghan had chosen to share a photo of their little girl, who giggled away as
she was held by her mum. The portrait was taken by Harry and Meghan’s wedding
photographer Alexi Lubomirski earlier this summer at the couple’s home in Santa
Barbara, California.
Fans were also given another glimpse at
Archie, who coordinated with his dad in jeans and a shirt and also stole the
show with his red hair.

“Love
that Archie is a ginger-like his dad. Beautiful family,” enthused one fan
on social media, while a second simply wrote: “Aww looks like the children
take after dad with ginger hair.”
The
Sussexes’ holiday card also highlighted the charities close to their heart in
the message that read: “As we look forward to 2022, we have made donations
on your behalf to several organizations that honor and protect families – from
those being relocated from Afghanistan to American families in need of paid
parental leave: Team Rubicon, Welcome.US, Human First Coalition, Humanity Crew
& Paid Leave For All, PL+US, Marshall Plan for Moms.”
They
concluded their note with: “Wishing you a happy holiday season and a
prosperous New Year, from our family to yours! As ever, Harry, Meghan, Archie
& Lili.”
