Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared holiday tidings with fans worldwide to close out 2025, pairing a family photo with a simple message of warm wishes. In the photo shared Friday by the Duchess of Sussex on her Instagram account, the couple pose with their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. This family portrait was taken in a verdant, sunny setting: Meghan wears an ecru dress, a few shades off of Harry's simple white button-up shirt, and each is tenderly embracing one of their children. Archie hugs his father around the waist, and Lilibet holds her mother's hands as Meghan bends over to rub noses with her younger child. As usual, the Sussexes don't show their children's faces, which can only be seen in profile and from a distance.

“Happy Holidays! From our family to yours,” the post's caption reads.
On the Sussexes' official website, they shared another holiday greeting: “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Archewell, we wish you a very happy holiday season and an excellent New Year.”
The sentiment is paired with a recap of their charitable and humanitarian activities in 2025. The couple also took the opportunity to share some news about the organization: “After five beautiful years, the Archewell Foundation is becoming Archewell Philanthropies. This charitable entity allows the couple and their children to expand upon their global philanthropic endeavors as a family.”
Archie and Lilibet also appear in the video recap; on Thanksgiving they volunteered alongside their parents at the Our Big Kitchen Collective, which provides over 70,000 meals a year to Los Angeles residents. The family helped prepare meals that were then distributed by Mercy Housing, Pico Union Project, and PATH, groups that directly help local communities in the Sussexes' adopted home of LA.
Yesterday, Prince Harry's brother, Prince William, shared his own festive family photo on Instagram. Kate Middleton and her husband also opted for a country setting: they pose, seated in the grass, with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
