The British Royal Family has released their card and portraits wishing everyone for Christmas. This annual tradition is something everyone looks forward to.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, shared a family photo
with followers on Instagram. One can see the happy family surrounded by greenery, with Harry, the Duke of Sussex and their two children.
In the photo, Prince Archie can be seen hugging his father, with the two of them wearing white, while Meghan is bending down and holding hands with Princess Lilibet, who is wearing a light blue dress. The royal family are all smiles and are standing on a small, wooden bridge, while the two kids’ faces are turned away from the camera.

“Happy Holidays! From our family to yours,” Meghan’s message read.
The Duke and Duchess have also released a Christmas card and an end-of-year video, which highlight their charitable endeavours. Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet also make a cameo in the nearly two-minute-long video. The kids can be seen helping their parents bake cookies ahead of Thanksgiving with a local charity.
Only a day prior, Harry’s older brother and the heir to the British throne, Prince William, and his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, shared a family portrait as well.
The new family portrait is featured on the couple’s 2025 Christmas card. It was taken by photographer Josh Shinner in Norfolk in April.

The image shows William and Catherine sitting on lush grass surrounded by spring daffodils, alongside their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
A post shared by the couple on social media reads, “Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas.”
Catherine has had a tumultuous year, and this photo also marks another year in her gradual return to public life, as she recovers from cancer and chemotherapy treatment.

Earlier in the month, on December 7, King Charles and Queen Camilla released their fourth Christmas portrait since the former was named the King of England. They have chosen a photograph of themselves taken in Rome for their official Christmas card.
The photograph was taken in April during their state visit to Italy and shows the couple smiling and standing side by side on a garden path.
The greeting inside reads, “Wishing you a very happy Christmas and New Year.”
The King was wearing a dark blue suit with a grey tie, while the Queen wore a white and beige coat dress. Camilla was also wearing a lily of the valley brooch, a symbol of enduring love.
The image was captured by photographer Chris Jackson and was taken in the grounds of the Villa Wolkonsky, which is the British ambassador’s residence in Rome. The photo was taken to mark the King and Queen’s 20th wedding anniversary.
