The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared only a handful of photos of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, making every new glimpse a rare delight for royal fans.
This time, an unexpected treat surfaced online—a previously unseen black-and-white family photo.
During Gloria Steinem’s interview with Architectural Digest, Prince Harry and Meghan’s Christmas card was spotted displayed on a table in their living room, offering a rare peek into their family life in Montecito.
The heartwarming image shows the Sussexes relaxing on a bale of hay, radiating happiness. Archie, now five, playfully placed his hand on his mother’s forehead, while three-year-old Lilibet flashed a bright, beaming smile.
Keeping Their Children’s Privacy a Priority
Since moving to California, Harry and Meghan have chosen to shield their children from the spotlight, though they occasionally share insights into their little ones’ lives during public engagements.
While visiting a school in Abuja, Nigeria, last May, Meghan revealed that Lilibet’s favorite class is dance, joking: “Maybe it’s all the jumping around.”
Archie and Lilibet are growing up far from the royal spotlight, leading a vastly different childhood compared to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Last year, the couple spoke about their concerns regarding raising children in the digital age during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, discussing The Archewell Foundation’s new initiative, The Parents’ Network.
“Our kids are young; they’re three and five. They’re amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them,” they shared.
Harry further explained their worries, saying: “In the old days, if your kids were under your roof, you knew what they were up to; at least they were safe, right? Now, they could be in the next room on a tablet or phone, going down rabbit holes, and within 24 hours, their lives could be at risk.”
