Harry and Meghan's nod to Diana: How the couple's holiday card picture parallels a sweet snap of the late Princess of Wales with her sons

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared to make a sweet nod to the late Princess Diana in their 2024 Christmas card. Montecito-based Prince Harry and Meghan Markle yesterday released their annual holiday card, which features a new photograph of the couple's children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The sweet image showed Princess Lilibet, three, running into Prince Harry's waiting arms, while Meghan, 42, held her arms open for a hug from Prince Archie, five. The choice appears to be a subtle nod to a famous image of Diana, then the Princess of Wales, greeting her children on the deck of the yacht Britannia in Toronto, when William and Harry joined their parents on an official visit to Canada, 23 October 1991.

Like the Sussex's greeting to their children on the festive card, Diana, dressed in an orange and white Moschino suit, appeared elated as she held out her arm to hug her young sons. Prince Harry has long voiced his desire to continue his mother's legacy, and in September, during the Halo Trust's anti-landmine event in New York, he said that that 'carrying on Diana's legacy is something he takes very seriously'.

Elsewhere, the season's greetings from Harry and Meghan's Archewell Foundation displayed the highlights of the Sussexes' year, including pictures from their four-day visit to Colombia in August. An image selected for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Christmas card appears to make a subtle nod to Princess Diana by mirroring an image of the late Princess greeting her sons in Toronto, 1991 (pictured).
