Californian couple Harry and Meghan haven’t celebrated Christmas in the UK since 2018 and are embracing a new chapter.
Since 2018, the Sussexes have forged their own path, prioritized their own festive traditions and created unforgettable memories with their family of five. They have left behind the traditional British royal Christmas celebrations.
Their Christmas card shows a big shift in their strategy.
The couple’s 2025 holiday card, released this week, will also reveal a new chapter in their journey, filled with hope, love and the joy of new beginnings.
The Sussexes’ previous cards have been a window into their developmental journey. Each release hints at their plans and values, leaving fans eager for what’s to come.
The change in their lives is evident in the carefully curated maps as the Sussexes have forged their own way out of royal traditions and restrictions.
The couple’s 2018 card hinted at their future together as the two chose a photo taken on their wedding day. The photo shows the newlyweds arm-in-arm as they gaze at the fireworks that fill the sky above them.
The image seemingly highlighted their vision and the future they planned to explore together by holding their heads up.
Their 2019 card features a seven-month-old Archie at the center. The couple sought to reveal what is more important in their lives amid speculation and rumours: The card shows they value family time away from the limelight in Canada.
The Sussexes’ 2020 photo also shows growing Archie starting to adopt American life. In 2021, the card highlights Lilibet’s public debut, a small but telling shift that reflected their new identity.
The couple’s other cards explain their new life in America with their children, along with the couple’s honors and charitable work.
Similarly, last year’s salute captured humanitarian visits to Nigeria and Colombia, with Archie and Lili racing to greet their parents with hugs.
It explained the couple’s strategy for balancing public influence with private pleasure.
