Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s official Christmas snap is ‘on its way,’ a royal correspondent has claimed.
Omid Scobie, who is the co-author of the bombshell biography Finding Freedom, which offers a window into the Sussexes’ life during their time as senior royals, has reported that an official festive photograph alongside 18-month-old Archie, is expected.
It seems the royal couple, who are currently living in their $14 million mansion in California with their son, will be carrying on the tradition despite stepping back as senior royals in March.
‘There is this forthcoming Christmas card photo,’ said London-based Omid Scobie, speaking on his royal podcast Heirpod. ‘I believe it is on its way.’

The royal correspondent-turned-author went on to say how the festive season is one to ‘indulge’ in new royal snaps.
‘We’ve got them in, we’re still waiting for the Sussexes’ card, I believe it is on its way, we obviously had a real treat last year with that really cute photo of Archie,’ he added.
It comes just days after it was revealed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have signed a lucrative podcast deal with Spotify worth up to £30million as they took another big step towards building what experts believe could become a $1billion business empire in the US.
The couple will produce and host their own shows as part of the newly formed Archewell Audio – starting with a ‘holiday special’ that the couple hopes will ‘uplift audiences around the world’.
