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

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

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

Five other images appear on the card, all showing engagements from the year.

This is the couple's first Christmas card featuring their children since 2021.

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

This year marks the first time since 2021 that Harry and Meghan have released a Christmas card featuring their children, whose privacy they guard closely.

The seasonal greeting is for professional use and the couple will send a separate card to their close family and friends, which 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 casual image for their card this year, opting for one taken in April in the gardens at Buckingham Palace.

In the meantime, Princess Anne chose a picture of her and her husband vice-adm. Tim Laurence waves from a carriage during a ceremonial procession in June.
