Harry and Meghan's Christmas card was missing something important, expert says
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released their annual Christmas card yesterday, with the couple beaming front and centre in the loved-up display.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be seen on the front of their green-hued festive offering, with the duo smiling and clapping in a snap beside one another at the Invictus Games earlier this year. The Sussexes have featured their children on their Christmas cards in years gone by, but their 2023 Christmas card was very different and featured only them.
But their Christmas card was missing something else important - and it wasn't just their kids - with an expert now revealing all.

"The first thing that I noticed about Harry and Meghan’s Christmas Card was its stark contrast to Kate and William’s card, which featured a family portrait of the whole Wales family," she began.

"Where were Archie and Lilliet?" Lynn asked, added: "The couple might have stepped back from Royal life, but the Royal fans are still interested in photos of the children and seeing how much they have changed and grown up."

But as of last year, the couple began paying homage to their Philanthropy work, which is when it all changed.
Last year, the couple's burgundy-hued Christmas card, which featured a black and white photo of the duo, read: "Wishing you a joyful holiday season. From our family to yours, and on behalf of our teams at The Archewell Foundation, Archewell Audio, and Archewell Productions, we wish you health, peace, and a very happy new year."

"I understand them wanting to put out a happy, smiling picture showing them united," Lynn said of the couple's festive offering, adding: "But, it’s Christmas and a time for families and, for many a short holiday from work.
"So surely Meghan and Harry can take a day off from promoting Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundations (Archewell Audio was notably missing for their card this year) and give fans a glimpse into their family life," she concluded.
