Harry and Meghan share Christmas card wishing 'joyful holiday season' in wake of Netflix documentary

Prince Harry and Meghan have shared their Christmas card, with the pair changing things up in this year's festive message by not including their two children in the photo chosen for the occasion.

The Sussexes wish people a "joyful holiday season" in the card, which was sent via the couple's charity Archewell. The yuletide message was sent out just days after the second half of Harry and Meghan's bombshell Netflix documentary was released, giving fresh insight into their fractured relationship with the rest of the royal family.

The card's message reads: "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! Best wishes, Prince Harry & Meghan."

This year's card features a black and white photograph of Harry and Meghan, in a departure from recent tradition for the couple. Last year's edition included a photo of the Sussexes with their son Archie and baby daughter Lilibet, while the 2020 and 2019 cards also featured a younger Archie.

Prince William and Kate also shared their family Christmas card earlier this week, which included a previously unseen picture of the Prince and Princess of Wales walking hand-in-hand with their three children George, Charlotte and Louis. The festive messaging comes amid explosive revelations unveiled in the final part of Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary.

In one part of the series, Harry recounted a "terrifying" conversation he had with William over his and Meghan's decision to step back from their roles as working members of the royal family. "It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren’t true, and my grandmother quietly sit there and sort of take it all in," the prince recalled.

Harry also claimed that a statement was put out to the press in his name without his permission strongly denying reports that he had been pushed out of the family due to William's "bullying attitude". Harry said in the documentary: "I couldn't believe it. No one had asked me permission to put my name to a statement like that.

"I rang M and I told her and she burst into floods of tears because within four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother, and yet for three years they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us. So there was no other option at this point. I said, 'We need to get out of here'."
