Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have opted for discretion since their departure from the royal family. They share very little information about their children and their daily lives. The faces of Archie and Lilibet have not been shown for many months and it is not for the end of the year that they will be visible. The Sussexes have revealed their Christmas card which contains some never-before-seen photos. While we can see them mostly alongside the people they've met throughout the year, there's one image that stands out.
In this one, Prince Harry and his wife are facing each other, ready to hug their children.
The photo highlights the complicity of the family. Surrounded by their three dogs, Prince Harry and his wife have smiles on their faces and arms wide open. In front of them are Archie and Lilibet, ready to jump into their arms. One detail was highlighted and it was the little girl’s hair. Indeed, they are quite long for his young age but also very red, like his dad and his brother. If children's faces are not visible, the image highlights the love they feel for their parents and vice versa.
Archie and Lilibet: two very popular children

Unlike the children of Kate Middleton and Prince William, Archie and Lilibet are very discreet. Far from the royal family, their parents prefer to protect them from the media and very few photos of them are revealed. On most, their faces are not visible, like on the one posted for the year 2024. As a reminder, previously unseen videos and images were shown in the documentary broadcast on Netflix in December 2022. However, both children were quite young and have since grown up.
Even from behind, seeing the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle pleases their fans. Although they are very discreet about their daily lives, the Sussexes sometimes share a few secrets. This is particularly the case of Prince William's brother who, on September 30, declared:
“Archie and Lili inherited their mother’s hair.” As this photo shows, the two children seem to have a good thickness of which Meghan Markle must be very proud. Maybe she does pretty hairstyles for Lilibet?

Prince Harry didn't think his children could inherit his hair genes. Earlier in the year, he said he thought Lilibet and Archie would be brown, like their mother. However, he was very amused when he admitted to being wrong. “I thought, at the beginning of my relationship with Meghan, that if we had children, they would never have my genes,” he declared before continuing:
“But I was wrong, the Spencer genes are really very present.” Something to delight Prince Harry.
Prince Harry and his wife are parents who make sure
their children are well protected. To do this, they avoid publicizing them and ensure that their faces are not revealed. The first time the whole world saw Lilibet and her beautiful red hair was in 2021, during the Christmas holidays. The following year, a new image was revealed but the two children were from behind. As they grow up, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry make sure they have a normal childhood, away from the spotlight.
