Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have carried on the tradition of releasing a family Christmas card, and many royal fans have commented on a photo showing Princess Lilibet

Royal fans are all saying the same thing about Princess Lilibet after she was pictured with brother Archie on Harry and Meghan Markle’s new Christmas card.

Alongside five other images from appearances that the Sussexes have made throughout the year, a sweet image is included of Archie and Lilibet running into Harry and Meghan’s arms – with both children seen sporting Harry’s famous red locks.

As well as Lilibet’s long hair, which backed up Harry’s previous claim that his daughter had inherited Meghan’s long hair, royal fans couldn’t help but notice how tall the three-year-old is.

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!”

A fifth fan, also commenting on Lilibet’s height, wrote: “I needed this today. #PrincessLilibet is so tall and honey blonde.” Alongside the pictures, Meghan and Harry also included a heartwarming Christmas message on their card.

The festive message read: “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundations. We wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and a joyful new year.”

Archie and Lilibet have made very few public appearances over recent years, with Harry and Meghan keen to keep their children out of the spotlight.

Despite quitting as working royals almost five years ago, the Sussexes have continued the tradition of sharing the picture used on their Christmas card like other members of the Firm. Last year’s card featured a snap of the couple beaming at the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf with Harry looking smart in a black shirt and jacket combination and Meghan wearing an elegant dark green strapless gown.

The couple have not included their children on their recent Christmas cards, but did delight fans with a sweet family picture to mark Christmas in 2021. This was also the first-ever picture released of their daughter. A then-two-year-old Archie was seen perched on his father’s knee, whilst Meghan held Lilibet, then aged seven months.
