Hidden messages in all Meghan Markle & Prince Harry’s Christmas cards – including key moment they ditched royal protocol

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are expected to be celebrating Christmas away from the royal family in California this year.

Fans are anticipating the release of their annual Christmas card, and according to a body language expert, the previous years have contained some very telling hidden messages.

Their first joint card came in 2018, half a year after their fairytale royal Windsor wedding in May.

Over the years the Sussexes have continued to send out a festive card, and often featured their kids – Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three – front and centre.

In fact, the couple shared a photo of their daughter Lilibet for the first time on their 2021 card – but opted for couple shots for 2022 and 2023.

Body language professional Judi James told Fabulous what we can learn from these strategic choices…

For their first Christmas card together, Meghan and Harry opted for a glossy black-and-white shot of the couple watching the fireworks at their evening wedding reception at Frogmore Hall in Windsor.

Judi told Fabulous: “This cool, monotone photo doesn’t just allow us a more intimate glimpse of Harry and Meghan on their wedding day but it is also posed to allow us to share what they were seeing and experiencing rather than looking at them and their faces.

“Their backs are to the camera to achieve this but there are still enough body language signals like the torso-lean; Harry’s one leg splay, and the way their arms are twined around each other’s backs, to create a narrative of deep love and romance.
