Prince Harry, Meghan Markle release 2024 Christmas card with photo of Archie and Lilibet

The Sussexes have offered a rare glimpse of Archie and Lilibet on their Christmas card amid claims Meghan’s new lifestyle show is under threat.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released their 2024 Christmas card, which features a rare new image of their children, Archie and Lilibet.

The adorable image, which shows Princess Lilibet, 3, running into her father’s arms and Prince Archie, 5, going in for a huge hug from his mother, is included alongside other snaps on the annual card.

The couple’s three dogs were also a part of the family portrait, which shows that both children, who are rarely photographed, have inherited their father’s red hair.

Prince Harry has previously described how his children have inherited his “Spencer gene” red hair from his late mother Princess Diana’s side of the family.

Other images on the joyous card show highlights from Harry and Meghan’s year, including their four-day trip to Colombia.

The card was shared on X by the Sussexes’ long-time friend, royal reporter and Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie.

Scobie captioned his post: “The Sussexes share highlights of their year on the 2024 Archewell holiday card.”

The card included a personal message from the Sussexes, which read: “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundations.

“We wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and a joyful new year.”

Fans of the California-based pair were quick to react to the card, with one writing on X: “The kids are so big.”

Another wrote: “So cute to see a picture of their children. They are really redheads!”

A third fan wrote on X: “Omg. Their babies have such red hair!!”

It comes amid reports Meghan’s much-anticipated Netflix cooking show could be axed after Prince Harry’s much-derided Polo documentary flopped.

The five-part series on the elite series — in which the Sussexes make just a fleeting appearance — has left viewers and critics baffled.

Meghan’s show, which is said to celebrate “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship” is now under threat, The Sun reports.

A Netflix insider told the MailOnline that Meghan’s series may never see the light of day, while others claim if it ever does get made it will be “make or break” for the couple’s $159-million Netflix deal.

They added: “People say Netflix are exhausted. It’s so much work with her and, bluntly, the ‘deliverable’ does not seem to be worth it.”
