In the series, Meghan offered glimpses into their family life, including handwritten notes tucked into Archie and Lilibet’s advent calendar and ornaments that reflect milestones in their children’s lives. She spoke about how a Christmas tree can tell a family’s story and mark the passage of time, a quiet reflection that stands in contrast to the distance between Harry and his relatives in the UK.
Jennie Bond believes King Charles may feel a sense of sadness at not having both of his sons together for the holidays. Still, she does not think Harry is hoping for a royal reunion. His life in California, with fewer formalities and more freedom, is likely far more appealing.
“There might be a moment of nostalgia,” Bond noted, “but I think Harry will happily throw himself into an American-style family day.”
That sentiment was echoed in a recent family photograph shared on Meghan’s Instagram. The image shows Harry and Meghan standing on a bridge with their children, Archie hugging his father’s waist while Meghan crouches beside Lilibet, holding her hands. The caption simply read, “Happy Holidays. From our family to yours.”
The photo followed the release of their official holiday video on the Archewell website, which included clips of Archie and Lilibet volunteering alongside their parents at a food shelter in November. Together, the images painted a picture of a family focused on togetherness, charity and building new traditions far from royal estates.
