TO US they are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry but to their kids Archie and Lillibet they’re just mum and dad – or not in this case.
Last week the world got a glimpse of the couple’s daughter for the first time as they shared their family Christmas card for 2022.
And in doing so the Duke and Duchess of Sussex let slip what their little ones call them – mama and papa.
The note inside the card read: “Happy Holidays. 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.”
The card was the first time the public have been treated to an image of baby Lilibet, who was born in June, and the tot was seen laughing as she was held aloft by her mother.
While Lili doesn’t have much hair as yet, it seems as though she might also have inherited her father’s ginger locks.
The couple have spoken candidly about wanting two kids, now revealing that Lilli’s birth six months ago has made them complete.

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.
Alongside the family snaps, Meghan and Harry donated funds to multiple charities – including Paid Leave For All and Human First Coalition.
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”.
