Despite this, a handful of people online missed the video entirely and assumed the snowy image was the only content. Some commented that the children had been deliberately left out, while others suggested the kids might appear only on private cards sent to friends and family. A few even admitted they preferred earlier cards that showed more of Archie and Lilibet, without realising the video already included them.
A second festive moment shared on Instagram

For fans hoping to see more of the Sussex family, Meghan offered an additional festive surprise on Instagram. The Duchess shared a previously unseen family photo showing herself, Harry, Archie and Lilibet standing together on a bridge surrounded by trees and lush greenery. In the image, Harry looks down affectionately at Archie, who has his arms wrapped around him, while Meghan and Lilibet stand just behind them, touching foreheads in a quiet, intimate moment.
Meghan captioned the photo simply, “Happy Holidays! From our family to yours,” giving followers a second glimpse into their celebrations. Together, the video card and the Instagram post made it clear that Archie and Lilibet were very much part of this year’s holiday message, even if the format initially caused a little confusion.
