The picture appears at the end of a short video, little more than a minute long, recapping the couple’s year to the tune of Coldplay’s Clocks.

The message added: “Special thanks to Chris Martin and @Coldplay for allowing us to use one of their songs.”

Highlights from Meghan and Harry’s year includes Archie being introduced to Queen Elizabeth II, his first outing in Africa, Meghan meeting Beyonce and her famous Vogue cover.

The Sussexes are currently on a break from royal duties, and opted to not spend Christmas with the Queen at Sandringham.

Instead, they chose to spend the holidays privately in Canada, but fans were delighted when their Christmas card was unveiled showing a young Archie crawling in front of his parents.

The eco-friendly e-card was emailed to friends and colleagues, with hard copies sent to family.

Baby Archie, who was born in May, celebrated his first Christmas in an exclusive corner of Vancouver Island, Canada — 5,000 miles from the rest of the Royal Family.

Prince Harry and wife Meghan flew to luxury Deep Cove with their son and Meghan Markle’s mum, Doria Ragland.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “They are enjoying sharing the warmth of the Canadian people and the beauty of the landscape with their young son.”

The couple were last seen in public together at the Remembrance Day services, with Harry doing a solo appearance at the Royal Albert Hall for the OnSide Awards.
