Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, shared a rare photo of their children on their Christmas card this year.

The map, released Monday, features a collage of images taken throughout the year.

In a casual family photo, Harry and Meghan crouch with their arms outstretched as Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, walk towards them, their faces hidden from the camera.

Five additional images appear on the card, representing all of the year’s engagements.

“On behalf of the Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and the Archewell Foundation, we wish you a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year,” the card reads.

This year is the first time since 2021 that Harry and Meghan have released a Christmas card with their children, whose privacy they are strictly protecting.

The Christmas greeting is for professional use and the couple will send their close family and friends a separate card that will not be shared publicly, British news agency PA Media reported.

Other members of the royal family have also released their Christmas cards.

King Charles and Queen Camilla chose a relatively informal photo for their card this year, one taken in the gardens of Buckingham Palace in April.

Meanwhile, Princess Anne chose a photo of her and her husband, Vice Admiral. Tim Laurence waves from a carriage during a ceremonial procession in June.
