Meghan Markle is sharing a rare look into her family this holiday season.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, took to Instagram to post a picture featuring the Duke of Sussex, 41, and their two kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
Friday’s image saw Markle, Prince Harry and their kids standing on a bridge over a creek.
The “Suits” alum, dressed in a cream dress and black sling back heels, has her forehead pressed to her daughter’s, who is sporting a blue dress, high socks and gold flats.
Harry opted for a white dress shirt, jeans and sneakers. Prince Archie wrapped his arms around his dad’s waist for a hug as Prince Harry sweetly touches his nose.
“Happy Holidays! From our family to yours,” Markle captioned her post.

According to People, the photo was taken at the couple’s Montecito home earlier this month.
While Markle and Harry largely keep their kids out of the spotlight, the pair took Archie and Lilibet to volunteer with Markle’s Archewell Foundation and Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA) in November.
The nonprofit provides meals for Angelenos experiencing food insecurity.
Pictures posted on the Archewell Foundation website showed the family of four sported matching hats and Archie and Lilibet rolling balls of dough.
Markle captioned Instagram Stories from the day: “Show up, do good.”
Their Christmas card, meanwhile, comes on the heels of the As Ever founder dropping her Netflix holiday special, “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.”
In the show, which aired on Dec. 3, the television personality gushed: “I love the holiday season. It’s about finding time to connect with the people we love, embracing traditions and making new ones.”
The episodes consist of Markle decorating and cooking with friends, walking through a Christmas tree farm and sharing her best DIY techniques.
Elsewhere in the show, the mom of two packed on the PDA with her husband of seven years.
While in their kitchen, Markle grabbed the back of Prince Harry’s head and pulled him close for a kiss.
The podcaster was also seen placing snacks for Santa and his reindeer. Markle included a sweet note from Archie and Lilibet on a mug.
The message was addressed to “Santa” and showed a glimpse of the words “have been good” and “travel safely.”
The note signed off: “XO, Archie and Lili.”
In the special, Markle was joined by tennis star Naomi Osaka, “Top Chef” judge Tom Colicchio, friends Kelly McKee Zajfen and Lindsay Roth, and hospitality expert Will Guidara.
In October, while at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C., the former blogger opened up about the future of her show.
“Well, the holiday special is coming out in November. It’s a really good one,” Markle told the audience at the time. “So I think looking at that format — again, it’s a year of learns — so we’re able to say, ‘Eight episodes for two seasons — it’s a lot of work.”
When the holiday special dropped, Markle promoted it on Instagram but did not publicly comment on her dad Thomas, 81, falling ill and being rushed to the hospital that same day.
The retired lighting designer underwent a three-hour surgery and was transferred to the intensive care unit in the Philippines.
Thomas previously suffered a massive stroke in 2022.
“My dad is being very brave. His foot turned blue and then black. It happened very quickly. I took him to a local hospital and they did some scans and an ultrasound and said the leg had to be amputated,” Thomas Markle Jr. told the Daily Mail on Dec. 5.
“There was no option. I was told the leg had to be removed and it was a case of life or death,” he added.
Markle has been estranged from her father since she married Prince Harry in 2018. At the time, Thomas suffered two heart attacks that prevented him from traveling from Los Angeles to London to walk his daughter down the aisle.
