Meghan Markle and her husband decided that Christmas would come early for their staff members and some of their associates.
The card sent from the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions featured many familiar photos taken this year as the couple traveled across the globe for charitable works.
However, the inclusion of a new family portrait featuring Prince Harry, Markle, and their young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilbet, has sparked significant interest and speculation.
The photo was taken in the backyard of the couple’s Montecito mansion and features the cute siblings running to their parents as their three dogs watch on.
The message from the power couple read: “A very happy holiday season and a joyful new year.”
The photo of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet has led to speculations about what King Charles III should expect from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Will the pair make a gesture towards the cancer-stricken king for the Christmas holiday? Will King Charles receive new photos of the two grandchildren he rarely sees and talks to?
Via The Daily Mail, it was reported that everything was up and in the air. The outlet shared: “How lovely that both seem to have inherited their dad’s striking ginger hair. Let’s hope the personal Christmas cards they send to the children’s grandfather, King Charles – who has privately revealed he longs to meet them – actually show their faces. This intimate picture only reminds us of the terrible chasm that now exists between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, who will be celebrating Christmas oceans apart. It does nothing to disguise the fact that 2024 has been the Sussexes’s annus horribilis – the year in which the world rumbled Meghan.”
King Charles sent some strong signals this year to indicate that he no longer has the tiniest expectations from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
His Majesty decided this year not to beat around the bush and clarified that he is no longer in contact with Prince Harry and Markle.
The Monarch pushed it further by explaining that he is not even close enough to the pair to feel comfortable inviting them to the Royal Family gathering this year.
A royal source told The Mail: “Relations between Harry and his family are not sufficiently close for an invitation to be sent. It’s very sad that things are that bad. We know that Harry wants to mend fences, but there is an awfully long way to go.”
The Sussexes and the Royal Family are going into a new year with the same confusing reality.
