Fans on social media were quick to comment on how much Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, have grown, with many expressing surprise at how much older the children look, especially given their rare public appearances. One comment said, "The kids are so big," while another noted, "They have grown so much."

Many fans were also delighted by the "glimpse of the kiddos" in the new holiday card, with one user commenting, "So cute to see a picture of their children." Some noted the children’s striking red hair, which is similar to their father, Prince Harry. The card also featured a personal message from the Sussexes, wishing a "Happy Holiday Season and a joyful new year" on behalf of their office, Archewell Productions, and Archewell Foundation. The heartfelt photo and message have certainly warmed the hearts of royal fans.

Fans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were particularly struck by the children’s bright red hair in the holiday card, with many commenting on how much they resemble their father. One user wrote, "They are really redheads!" while another shared, "Okay so of course I went right to the photo of the kids!! Red heads!! Just like my grandkids!! I love it!!" A third exclaimed, "Omg. Their babies have such red hair!!"

While the holiday card highlights some of the couple's milestone moments, their latest project, a Netflix docuseries about posh polo, has been met with harsh criticism. The five-part series, released on December 10, focuses on the build-up to the polo World Cup in Florida, with attention on players like Adolfo and Poroto Cambiaso, Timmy Dutta, and Nacho Figueras. Critics have largely panned the series, describing it as tedious and lacking broader appeal.

Harry and Meghan's Netflix docuseries, part of their £80m deal with the streaming giant, promised to showcase the "true depth and spirit" of polo and its "high-stakes moments." However, following its release, critics were quick to dismiss the series, and any hopes it would join the ranks of successful sports documentaries like Welcome to Wrexham and The Last Dance were quickly dashed. The show has largely been criticized as "boring," receiving two stars or less from reviewers. It has been described as a "tedious inside-look at posh polo," with many pointing out that the sport holds little appeal for those outside elite circles.

In their Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan, who served as executive producers, make only a brief appearance, with fans having to wait until episode five for a glimpse of the couple. The Telegraph's Ed Power criticized the series, noting that there wasn't enough of the Sussexes to elevate the documentary beyond being "a dull indulgence about a rich person’s pursuit."

Since relocating to Montecito, California, after stepping down as senior members of the royal family in January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have embraced a more relaxed and "low-key" approach to holiday celebrations. Meghan shared details of their U.S. festivities in a previous interview with Marie Claire, explaining that their holidays are filled with simple, joyful moments. She described how, like any other family, they spend time enjoying a great meal, playing games, and often have someone bring a guitar to add to the fun. Meghan emphasized the importance of creating memories and enjoying the company of loved ones.

Meghan Markle also emphasized the significance of making "room at your table for your friends who don't have family," highlighting how they welcomed feminist icon Gloria Steinem to their Thanksgiving celebration. Meghan, who married Harry in 2018, shared that it is important to both her and Harry that their children, Archie and Lilibet, experience the "magic" of festive traditions. One such tradition is putting out "carrots for the reindeer" at Christmas, which she described as part of creating special memories for their family during the holidays.
