Prince Harry and Meghan Markle release their 2022 Christmas card - and it doesn't feature Archie and Lilibet

Following the release of the final episodes of their much-anticipated Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared their Christmas card.

However, much to the disappointment of fans, the couple took a break from their family tradition in that it doesn’t feature their kids, Archie and Lilibet.

Harry and Meghan sent out their annual holiday card via a newsletter from their foundation Archewell.

The simple card featured a black-and-white photo of the couple from the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Gala that they attended at the start of December, along with a snowy animation and a message of well-wishes.

"Wishing you a joyful holiday season," the card read.

"From our family to yours, and on behalf of our teams at The Archewell Foundation, Archewell Audio, and Archewell Productions, we wish you health, peace, and a very happy new year."

Harry and Meghan’s signatures are below the note.

The card is a pretty notable departure from the more family-oriented holiday cards Harry and Meghan sent out in recent years.

Their 2021 card featured a photo of the couple with their children Archie and Lilibet, showing off their newborn daughter for one of the first times.

Similarly, their 2020 card was a rare photo of their son, Archie, as was their 2019 card.
