Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have released an unseen wedding photo for their first Christmas card as husband and wife.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are shown arm-in-arm in a striking black and white image, watching fireworks at their wedding reception at Frogmore House in Windsor, England, on May 19 this year.

鈥淭he Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to share a new photograph from their wedding reception,鈥� Kensington Palace wrote in a Tweet.

鈥淭he photograph, which features on Their Royal Highnesses鈥� Christmas card, was taken by photographer Chris Allerton.鈥�

 

Harry and former 鈥淪uits鈥� actor and Toronto resident Meghan are due to move to Frogmore House, a 17th century royal residence, early next year.

The royal couple is expecting their first child in spring. In recent weeks, British media have speculated the couple鈥檚 move to Frogmore House was prompted by a spat between the Duchess of Sussex and her sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge.

CTV royal commentator Richard Berthelsen said it鈥檚 possible the two women don鈥檛 get along, but he said it鈥檚 more likely the press is just looking for drama in the Royal Family.

鈥淭he British media, I think, were determined to create some drama in these relationships. They need it to sell papers,鈥� he told 麻豆传媒 Channel on Friday. 鈥淚 think there鈥檚 a lot being read into very little here.鈥�

Harry鈥檚 older brother Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton also released a relaxed family photo with their three children in the woods of their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk, England, that will feature on their Christmas card.

The Cambridges鈥� Christmas photo, taken by Matt Porteous, shows eight-month-old baby Louis held by Kate, three-year-old Charlotte standing on a tree trunk between her parents and five-year-old George playing at his dad鈥檚 shoulders in Hunter Wellington boots.

鈥淚t was an honour to be asked to photograph The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family at Anmer Hall,鈥� Porteous said in on his Instagram account.

鈥淐apturing the fun and relaxed moments between such a wonderful family was a true privilege.鈥�

Both pictures were Tweeted by Kensington Palace, the official account of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Meanwhile, Clarence House released this year鈥檚 Christmas card from The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.

The photograph, taken by Hugo Burnand, shows heir to the throne Prince Charles and his wife Camila gazing at each other while sitting on a wooden bench in the garden of Clarence House this summer.

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, wears a cream and crepe dress and the Prince of Wales is seen in a navy blue suit and tie. The message inside the card reads 鈥淲ishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.鈥�

As for the Queen herself, Berthelsen said her Christmas card photograph is rarely released. He did acknowledge, however, that the image has made its way into the media in the past.

The royals are due to spend Christmas together as per tradition at the 92-year-old monarch's Sandringham residence.
