Archie Mountbatten-Windsor brought holiday cheer with the recently released Christmas card by his parents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The first Christmas card by the Sussexes was released on Christmas eve featuring an endearing family shot. While it brought a smile on everyone's face, it certainly did impress his uncle and aunt.

The black-and-white snapshot of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their seven-month-old son Archie was posted by the Queen's Commonwealth Trust, a royal charity, of which Harry and Markle are patrons and president and vice president. The photo shows the royal parents in the background while Archie is seen dominating the frame at the forefront of the monochromatic shot. The animated post contains a sweet message by the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex: "Merry Christmas and a happy new year," reads the gif, "from our family to yours."

It also includes a caption that reads: "Just sharing the sweetest Christmas Card from our President and Vice-President, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Very Merry Christmas, everyone!"
