Meghan and Prince Harry have consistently kept their kids' lives private ever since they left the UK. In December 2024, just in time for the holidays, the couple gave fans a heartwarming glimpse of their growing children.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex unveiled their 2024 holiday card on December 16, featuring a charming family moment with their three dogs, which quickly sparked online buzz.

In the photo, Meghan, 43, could be seen smiling warmly at Archie while Harry, 40, crouched down to greet Lilibet, whose red hair matched her brother's. The shot was framed by the presence of the family's beloved dogs: Guy, Pula, and Momma Mia.

As the Sussexes continue to navigate their family life, balancing privacy and public interest, their children remain at the heart of major updates.

In February 2024, the couple made headlines when they officially changed their children's surnames following their newly bestowed royal titles.

Archie and Lilibet, previously known by the surnames "Mountbatten-Windsor," embraced their royal titles as part of their official last names.

In a gesture well-received by Harry and Meghan, when he ascended the throne in 2022, King Charles III offered his grandchildren the prestigious prince and princess titles. They accepted the titles, but it was only later that they were used for the first time.

This remarkable transition was publicly acknowledged in March 2023 during the christening of Lilibet, where the titles were officially used for the first time. The children's names were then updated on the royal family's official website to "Prince Archie of Sussex" and "Princess Lilibet of Sussex."

The adoption of "Sussex" as the family surname aligns with royal traditions, where titles and territorial designations often serve as surnames, further embedding the children's royal lineage and their parents' legacy within their names.

This approach to surnames follows a historical precedent within the royal family, where names and titles are deeply intertwined with identity and heritage.

As outlined on the official royal website, royal surnames often reflect paternal lineage. However, the royal family has its unique traditions, with sovereigns typically adopting the name of their 'House' from their father.

This tradition ensures continuity and honors the familial legacy, as seen with the House of Windsor. Unless a monarch decided to change this tradition, members of the royal family, including Harry and Meghan's children, would typically carry the "Mountbatten-Windsor" surname, a practice which Harry and Meghan have changed.
