Royal fans were delighted
on Thursday when the Sussexes shared the first photo of their
daughter, Lilibet, on Thursday who
was born back in June.
The
Sussexes shared the photo as they released their Christmas card. The adorable
family photo was taken by their wedding photographer Alexi Lubomirski this
summer at the couple’s home in Santa Barbara, California. The precious portrait
sees the family posing on some steps with little Archie sitting on Harry’s lap
and Meghan lifting Lilibet in the air.
When the photos were released, fans were quick to take to the comments to
share beautiful thoughts about the happy family.
One said: “Such a beautiful pic. I am so glad happiness shines through for
them.”
A second wrote: “What a gorgeous happy photo of a beautiful family.”
Still a third posted: “How adorable is this family?”
A fourth commented: “Absolutely love this card. Prince Harry and
his beautiful family.”
The fifth added: “Absolutely beautiful family! The kids are so
adorable! Love it.”
But even though the photo was the first
glimpse of Lilibet, some royal followers couldn’t help but notice that Archie had a full head of
ginger hair like his dad.

One said: “Love that Archie is a ginger-like his dad. Beautiful family.”
A second simply wrote: “Aww looks
like the children take after dad with ginger hair.“
The
message on the card reads: “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.”
The card also highlighted the charities close
to the Sussexes’ hearts. The message continued: “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.”
The
couple 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.”
