Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Christmas card features brand new adorable photos of Archie and Lilibet and, in one poignant, snap the couple smile as they embrace their children
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fans have gushed over Princess Lilibet’s hair after the couple shared their adorable 2024 Christmas card.
The greeting features sweet pictures of both Lilibet and Prince Archie, aged three and five respectively, including one photo in which the youngsters excitedly run toward their parents. The 2024 card continues the couple’s tradition of releasing a greeting each festive season.
And this time, fans noted how long Lilibet’s hair had grown in two years, after her proud father revealed she has been “blessed with her mother’s thick hair”.
Reposting the Sussexes’ festive card, one X user wrote: “Look at Lili’s long hair!” Another comment read: “Look at Lilibet’s red waves! Perfect mix of H&M!” A further social media user said: “Such lovely, flowing hair.”
The comments across X and Facebook are among a string of posts gushing about the three-year-old’s locks, and how it jars with the interview with Harry, 40, earlier this year in which he said his daughter was blessed with Meghan’s luscious hair.
Recalling her conversation with Harry at this year’s edition of the WellChild Awards in London, the magazine’s chief content officer Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon wrote: “Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair, he told us, self-effacingly, as he marvelled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers.”
The last official photograph of Princess Lilibet was released on the occasion of her first birthday in June 2022, when the Sussexes gave the world a rare glimpse of their daughter.
And other eagle-eaged fans spotted a difference in Lilibet in the 18 months since this snap. Many expressed their surprise at how much the Princess has grown in the timeframe. They said the same about Prince Archie, who turned five in May.
Taking to X, one fan commented: “Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet look so tall!” Another wrote: “OMG look how big Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are.”
And a further stated: “What a beautiful and happy family [teary eyed-face emoji] Lilibet is almost as tall as Archie!” Delighted that the couple decided to include a picture of their children, one fan commented: “Another amazing year for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex [clapping-hands emoji] And how tall are Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet now, so cute!”
