The Sussexes, who are currently residing in a $14.7million mansion in Montecito, released the card to announce they’ve made a donation to several charities, including an organisation that supports Afghan families left behind after the US withdrawal and Paid Leave For All, in line with the Duchess’ recent campaigning for a paid family leave law for all Americans.
‘This year we welcomed out daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a “Mama and Papa” and Lili made us a family,’ their message read. ‘As we look forward to 2022 we have made donations on your behalf to several organizations that honor and protect families – from those being relocated from Afhghanistan to American famiilies in need of paid parental leave.’
It comes as the couple prepare to spend their third Christmas outside of the UK, and away from the royal family.
Hundreds of fans flocked to the picture shared to the photographer’s Twitter, with another writing: ‘Loving all of their smiling faces!!! Little Lilibet’s toes and ARCHIE’S HAIR!’
One added: ‘Oh!!! Love it! Archie has such beautiful red hair. It’s so sweetAnd one tweet: “This PHOTO. This BABY. Archie’s red HAIR’.
The Sussexes are currently living in Montecito in a £14.7 million mansion. They released this card (pictured) in order to say they made a donation for several charities. This includes an organization that helps Afghan families after the US withdrawal.
Today’s card is a major change for Duchess and Duke of Sussex who, in the past few snaps, have made it difficult to see their children’s faces.
Archie has not been seen in public since they resigned as senior royals last March. His most recent photograph, released this May to celebrate his second birthday, shows him looking directly at the camera.
He was present during the Oprah Winfrey interview as well as Prince Harry’s mental-health documentary. However, royal fans could only see his face.
This is also the first opportunity for royal fans to view Lilibet’s visage.
According to some reports, Meghan revealed the first photo of Lilibet her second child after Prince Harry’s framed image of him kissing a baby was prominently displayed on her desk for her 40th Birthday video.
In May Prince Harry shared several new images of his two-year-old son Archie Harrison in his mental health series The Me You Can’t See The Me You Can’t See
After Meghan Markle released the new photo of Archie to mark his second birthday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle expressed disappointment.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released their first Christmas cards since moving to Los Angeles.
Only one previous Lilibet photo (centre), has been taken. It was a grainy, black-and-white image that Meghan took during her 40th Birthday video conference with Melissa McCarthy.
In a related frame, three additional black-and white photographs could also be seen. One shows Harry kissing a baby while the other one may depict Meghan holding a child.
Alexi Lubomirski is the photographer behind today’s Sussexes Christmas card. He took to Instagram to show off his work.
The caption read: ‘The Duchess and Duke of Sussex, Archie, and Lilibet. It’s one of those unique and extraordinary projects one can be part of.
“It was a pleasure to be able continue the story of the family I first photographed, initially as an engaged couple. Then, on the wedding day, they became a married couple. And now, witnessing their love grow into two gorgeous children.
“Anyone who saw my #allloveseries would know that the best joy I have from photography is being able photograph “love”.
Photographers can only have one gift: to be trusted enough by their subjects, to allow them to share their feelings and let the images speak for themselves.
‘This day with Duke and Duchess Sussex was one of those joyous experiences, and one which I feel extraordinarily privileged to have been invited. X’
Lilibet Diana Montbatten-Windsor is the second child of the Duke and Duchess Sussex. She was born in Santa Barbara on June 4, California.
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital gave her her name. Diana, Diana’s middle name was in tribute to Harry.
The Sussexes’ baby, Archie MountbattenWindsor’s two-year old son, weighed 7 pounds 11oz.
Lilibet’s birth photos were not released, but Archie did.
The charities Harry and Meghan have donated to ‘on your behalf’ include Paid Leave for All, a national US campaign fighting to bring paid family and medical leave for all working people.
Meghan, who is mainly on parental leaves since her June baby, has been lobbying the US Congress to make paid family law in America for all Americans. This is based on her personal experience as a mother-to-be.
Meghan addressed US senators Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, in October asking them for parental leave. The letter stated: “I am not an elected official. I’m also not a politician. As a mother, I am writing you to support paid parental leave.
It was 1,030-words long and asked two Democratic leaders for their consideration.
On their private telephones, the Duchess called US Senators and used her royal title to encourage them to vote for the legislation.
In her lobbying, she described her humble beginnings. This was in spite of her documented middle class upbringing where she attended private secondary and primary schools with her Emmy winning lighting director father who earned $200,000 a year.
Now, she lives in a sprawling $14m mansion in Montecito (California), complete with designer touches. Her lucrative contracts with Spotify, Netflix and other companies are estimated to total well over 150 million.
Markle stated, “I grew-up eating the Sizzler salad bar for $4.99.” “I was aware of how difficult my parents had to work in order to make this possible because eating out, even for five dollars, was something I valued and felt fortunate. When I was 13, I worked at my local frozen-yoga shop.
Markle stated, “I babysat and waited tables to make ends meet.”
In 1990 her father won $750,000 in the California state lottery. This money paid for her secondary education at Immaculate Heart High School, Los Angeles, $9,412-as-a-semester.
Meghan attended a private school, Hollywood’s Little Red Schoolhouse Nursery. She was there from age two.
Primary school costs now between $20,000 to $28,300 per year. The cost was covered by Thomas, her father and Doria, her mother and airline steward.
She went on to study at Northwestern, a college in Illinois, that would have cost $24,000-$28,000-a-year for tuition when Meghan studied there from 1999-2003.
Later, she spoke out about the letter that included her claim that her family was poor despite the fact her father being an Emmy-winning lighting director. She was also educated privately at Ellen.
Meghan stated last month that The Ellen Show was unaware that her country is among six and only one in the whole world with a paid federal leave system.
“Everybody knows it, particularly if they have ever had children. Even if they haven’t you’ll know the struggle and importance of those first weeks, if not months, to have a good family.
“And that’s something we don’t have here is something I, as a mother of two children, will do all that I can so that people can get that.”
Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opted to share an illustrated Christmas card – leading to some disappointed fans calling for the couple to show Archie’s face.
In the 2020 festive greeting, the couple were seen playing with Archie in the garden of their £11million ($15million) home in Montecito, along with dogs Pula and Guy. It was drawn from Meghan’s mother Doria’s photograph.
The message, which was sent via Mayhew (a London-based animal charity whose patron Meghan is), reads: “Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”
Archie selected ornaments to decorate the tiny Christmas tree. With a thanks for an undisclosed personal gift from the royals, Mayhew also tweeted the picture.
It gave the opportunity to peek inside Archie’s and their home. According to a spokesperson for the couple, the card showed a sneak peek into the home and Archie’s playhouse.
Archie chose the small Christmas tree and all the handmade ornaments. The tree will then be replanted following the holidays.
Mayhew, a company based in Kensal Green West London stated that the money would allow it to weather the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as help reach those who need us.
Caroline Yates (Mayhew’s chief executive) said, “We are thrilled to have The Duchess Of Sussex as our Patron, and she has shone an enormous light on our community based animal welfare work in the last two Years.”
“We felt very honored to receive the personal donation of the Duke and duchess. It will help us reach even more pets, owners, and dogs in dire need during this winter.”
This is the second Annual Montecito Holiday Car Parade that the Duke and Duchess Of Sussex have donated. It took place this week in their California neighborhood.
Prince Harry, Meghan and a few other donors joined them in support of the holiday car procession.
This couple lives in an incredible $14.7million mansion with Archie (2 years) and Lilibet (7months). They were there to celebrate Christmas, themed “holiday magic”.
According to Montecito Journal: Brightly lit cars with garlands and tinsel were seen making their way along the parade route. Locals watched as Santa Claus gave out candy from his truck with a Christmas star.
The local paper wrote: ‘ As the merriment still lingers in the air, here’s to a new Montecito holiday tradition!
“Thanks to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and other parade sponsors who donated first.”
This week Meghan was seen Christmas shopping in Montecito at some of her favorite stores, including nearby Pierre LaFond & Co and kids’ clothing boutique Poppy.
This stylish mother-of-2 looked great in Massimo Dutti wool jacket, Tamara Mellon boots and Bottega Veneta clutch. She also wore LeSpecs Air Heart sunglasses.
Meghan, who was reportedly out about one hour with her guard and seen carrying some shopping bags when she returned to home, was reported to have been back around the same time.
One witness said that she saw a frenzy in her shopping. It was almost as if she wanted to be normal. Even if she was there for only an hour.
