Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, share rare family snap for the holidays as they announce major change

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry have shared a rare snap of their family for the holidays.

The duke and duchess, who often choose to hide their children's faces from photos, posed with their two young kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in their backyard.

The photo shows an intimate moment between the four as Meghan and Harry look lovingly into their children's eyes.

Watch the video above.

Meghan holds Princess Lilibet's hands as she rests her forehead on her daughter's and smiles as she looks into her eyes.

The duchess is wearing a cream dress with a tie around the waist for the photo which she pairs with black sandals.

Meanwhile, the young princess wears a sweet blue dress and a pair of silver flats.

Standing next to the mother-daughter duo, Prince Archie gives his dad a bear hug. Prince Harry holds his face and appears to tickle the young prince's nose as he laughs.

Prince Harry wears a simple white button-up paired with blue jeans for the photo. His son matches in similar blue jeans and a knitted jumper.

The sun, dappled by the trees around them, casts a soft glow over the family. It's a similar photo to one of the photos shared by the Sussex family last Christmas.

Posting the photo to Instagram, Meghan shared well-wishes for the festive season.

"Happy Holidays! From our family to yours," she captioned the post.

The new snap comes as the couple's charity, Archewell Foundation, undergoes a major change.

Harry and Meghan have rebranded the foundation, which is named after their son, for the charity's fifth anniversary.

The couple announced on Friday that it will now be called Archewell Philanthropies.

"Five years ago, The Archewell Foundation was born from a simple but profound belief: to show up and do good," an impact report from the charity read.

"Today, as we mark our fifth anniversary, that mission remains as vital and urgent as ever - now carried forward through Archewell Philanthropies, a growing platform designed to deepen and expand how we serve communities around the world."

The foundation's website has been officially changed to reflect the new name.

A statement on the landing page reads: "Archewell Philanthropies is home to the charitable work of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they broaden their global philanthropic efforts for meaningful reach and maximum impact".

"After five beautiful years, the Archewell Foundation is becoming Archewell Philanthropies. This charitable entity allows the couple and their children to expand upon their global philanthropic endeavours as a family."

The website appears to be undergoing changes at the moment, as no other pages on the site appear to be accessible.

Meghan and Harry launched the foundation back in 2020, after stepping away from their royal duties.

The charity aims to support youth mental health, women's empowerment, humanitarian aid and advocate for equality and inclusion.
