Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have released their first Christmas card since relocating to California showing off 19-month old Archie’s shock of red hair.
The couple can be seen playing with their young son in the yard of their Montecito home, along with dogs Pula and Guy.
The card was released Wednesday via Mayhew, Meghan’s animal welfare organization patronage in the U.K.

A spokesperson for the couple said: ‘The original photo of the family was taken at their home earlier this month by The Duchess’s mother.
‘The small Christmas tree, including the homemade ornaments and other decorations, were selected by Archie, and the tree will be replanted after the holidays.’

The couple recently announced they have signed a lucrative podcast deal with Spotify worth up to £30million.
They 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’.
Last year, Harry and Meghan’s family Christmas card showed the couple grinning as baby Archie stared down the camera lens.
The festive black and white card showed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex laughing as they posed in front of a Christmas tree, with Archie’s face in the foreground of the image.
It was shared on social media by the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and read: ‘Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our family to yours.’
In a tweet, the Trust said: ‘Just sharing the sweetest Christmas Card from our President and Vice-President, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Very Merry Christmas, everyone!’
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall released their official 2020 Christmas card last week, choosing a candid picture as they relaxed in the gardens of Birkhall.
It shows all the family are wearing cosy winter clothes with the oldest child Prince George, seven, sitting next to his father, Prince William.
Princess Charlotte, five, is seen sitting on her mother Kate Middleton’s lap wearing a Ralph Lauren jumper, while the youngest of the clan Prince Louis, two, nestles between his parents, both 38.
Prince Charles, 71, and Camilla, 73, have spent much of the year at their Scottish residence, choosing to spend the first lockdown at their home in Aberdeenshire and returning for a summer break.
In their photograph Prince Charles can be seen with his arm around Camilla as they share a laugh in the gardens.
