Harry and Meghan's holiday card
The card showed a picture of Harry and Meghan greeting their kids with broad smiles. Lili, who sported long hair, seemed to grow as tall as her brother Archie. She ran towards her father whereas Archie came to hug her mother in the sweet moment. The other pictures of the card contained Harry and Meghan's trips over the course of the year, as they smiled and held on to each other.
"On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year." read the card's message.
Real or photoshopped?
A section of the social media closely observed the picture and pointed out inconsistencies in it. Some even alleged that the picture could be a digitally altered one. A user commented, “Look at this dodgy digitally altered photo Harry and Meghan have released for Christmas! The shadows are all wrong, you can see the digitally altered outline around Meghan and the dogs have been superimposed. Also, are we supposed to believe Lilibet is around six or seven years old!?”
Another said, “I’m sorry. This looks manipulated and photoshopped. The black dog was obviously added in, #MeghanMarkle’s arm is unnaturally sharp compared to the rest of the photo, Lili looks like a 6 yr old, not 3-this is WILD.” A comment also read, “#PrinceHarry & #MeghanMarkle have once again tried to fool intelligent people with another photoshopped image of two unknown children.”

They’ve got an incredible sense of humour and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day like most kids do. I’m just very grateful to be a dad," he said.
