Holiday Card Sparks Immediate Backlash
The festive photo was shared on December 19 via the Duchess of Sussex’s Instagram account, continuing the couple’s annual Christmas card tradition. Almost instantly, it drew criticism, with social media users accusing the couple of another photoshop blunder and questioning Meghan’s outfit choice.
“This is not just a fake. It’s a really bad fake,” one angry commenter wrote.
A Familiar Sussex Tradition
Since their 2018 wedding, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released a Christmas card every year without exception. This year’s image showed Harry and Meghan standing on a charming wooden bridge surrounded by lush greenery, with a narrow stream flowing underneath.
They were joined by their two children, all dressed in coordinated white outfits, except for Princess Lilibet, who wore a pale blue, knee-length dress. In the photo, Prince Harry wrapped his arms around Prince Archie, while Meghan held Lilibet’s hands, gently touching foreheads with her daughter in a tender moment.
Meghan captioned the post simply: “Happy Holidays! From our family to yours.”
