In the holiday photo, taken by their wedding photographer Alexi Lubomirski, Meghan can be seen raising a giggling Lilibet – who was named after the Queen – in the air.

Meanwhile Harry, in ripped jeans and no shoes, laughs as he cuddles their son Archie, two.

The card was released with the sweet message: “This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world.

“Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa’, and Lili made us a family.”

Little Archie’s red hair – clearly taking after his dad – was on full show in the adorable picture.

And Lilibet, who was born in June this year, wore a gorgeous white smock as she beamed at her parents and brother.

Her name Lilibet is a touching nod to her great-grandmother the Queen, who was affectionately called the nickname by her family.

The Christmas card snap is the first glimpse the world has had of little Lilibet after the Sussexes welcomed the tot into the world earlier this year.

It’s understood the digital personal holiday card was sent to friends and family.

And the gorgeous family photo was taken during the summer at the pair’s home in California.

The card continued: “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 Afghanistan, to American families in need of paid parental leave: Team Rubicon, Welcome.US, Human First Coalition, Humanity Crew & Paid Leave For All, PL+US, Marshall Plan for Moms.

“Wishing you a happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year, from our family to yours! As ever, Harry, Meghan, Archie & Lili”.
