Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s
children Archie and Lilibet have the sweetest names for
their parents.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
shared a rare family insight last year as they released their annual
Christmas card, which showed what the royal infants will grow up referring to
their parents as.
The photo card 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 during the summer
months of 2021, prior to the Christmas holidays at the couple’s home in Santa
Barbara, California.
The gorgeous card also gave
royal fans a glimpse at Archie, who coordinated with his dad in jeans and a
shirt and also stole the show with his red hair. Meghan also looked
casually chic in jeans and a navy pullover.
On social media, fans went wild
for the beautiful festive photo card. One replied: “Love that Archie is a
ginger like his dad. Beautiful family.” A second penned: “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 accompanying
the photo 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.”
