It shows Prince Archie, 5, giving his mother a hug, besides younger sister Lilibet, 3, hugging her dad — who crouched on the ground to meet her.
The family’s three dogs were also seen.
The card was shared by the Sussexes long time friend and royal reporter Omid Scobie, who posed it to his X account early Tuesday morning (AEDT).

Followers expressed their surprise at how grown up the rarely-seen children appeared to be in the image.
“The kids are so big,” one said with three white heart emojis.
“LiliDiana having Diana’s hair, eyes and height is something amazingly beautiful. Probably the only grandchild that looks like her. Kinda poetic legendary,” said a second.
“Lili is so tall,” added a third.

The card read, “We wish you a very Happy Holiday Season and a joyful new year”.
While Archie and Lilibet are rarely seen, their parents have occasionally made remarks about how they are growing up.

Speaking on a panel discussion titled Afro-Descendant Women and Power: Voice of Equity, she told Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez thatt “it doesn’t feel great to suffer in silence or even just sit in silence if in those moments you want to be heard or if you have something to say.
“I understand the importance of speaking up when you have something to say.”
“I encourage our daughter to do just that — at three, she has certainly found her voice, and we are incredibly proud.”
She also praised her husband Harry, who was sitting in the crowd, for “empowering women”.
Weeks earlier in August, both children were mentioned when Meghan and Harry sat down for an interview with CBS’ Sunday Morning to talk about children’s mental health and social media.
“Our kids are young — they’re three and five. They’re amazing,” Meghan said of Archie and Lilibet.
“But all you want to do as parents is protect them.
“So as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there, and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good.”
