*Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have shared their first annual Christmas card as a family, and baby Archie takes center stage.
Markle’s longtime friend, actress Janina Gavankar, reportedly snapped the photo that appears on the Duke and Duchess’ holiday card, which was released on Monday.
“Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From our family to yours,” read Meghan and Harry’s holiday card, which was shared by The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust on Twitter (see below).
Last year, Harry and Meghan released their first Christmas card as a couple, which featured a snap from their wedding reception at Frogmore House.

Meghan and Harry won’t be joining members of the royal family for the Queen Elizabeth’s annual holiday gathering at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England for Christmas. Meghan, Harry and Archie are opting to spend “private family time” in Canada this year, PEOPLE reports.
“Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, Their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the Duchess’ mother Doria Ragland,” Buckingham Palace previously said in a statement. “This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen.”
Meanwhile, did the Queen send a message to Meghan and Harry by excluding their family portrait from the family photos visible during her annual Christmas speech?
Last week, Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau welcomed the royal couple to the commonwealth country.
“Prince Harry, Meghan, and Archie, we’re all wishing you a quiet and blessed stay in Canada. You’re among friends, and always welcome here,” Trudeau tweeted.
