Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have disappointed some of their royal fans with their Christmas card.

The royal family usually sends holiday cards to their fans. Prince William and Kate Middleton already sent out theirs which featured a new picture of the family of five. Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles also sent out their cards.

Many are looking forward to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Christmas card. They were looking forward to see it because they were expecting Archie in it. However, royal fans were disappointed with the latest update about Prince Harry and Markle’s card.

“We haven’t finalised plans yet,” a Kensington Palace spokeswoman told Mirror online when asked about the Sussex’s Christmas card.

There are rumors that Prince Harry and Markle will release their cards this week and there will be a “twist” in it. Last year, the couple’s card featured a black and white photograph of them watching fireworks during their wedding reception at Frogmore House. The couple were not facing the camera in the snap.

Prince Harry and Markle’s Christmas card received a mixed reaction from royal followers. Many found it romantic, but some were not impressed and even criticized it because for them it was “insulting” and “not appropriate.”

“I have to say that if I got a Christmas card from Harry and Meghan (yeah like that would happen) I would be insulted that they had turned their backs to me,” Shirley Wainwright wrote on Twitter.

“Not that my opinion matters but I’m not entirely sure about Harry & Meghan's Christmas card image ... it looks like they are overseeing a war zone rather than fireworks! Should have been in colour,” Vanessa V commented.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall’s Christmas card was “awfully similar” to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s. For their holiday card, Prince William and Middleton posed with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The family of five piled into a motorcycle with a mini sidecar. On the other hand, the heir apparent and his second wife used a photo that featured them riding a vintage MG in Cuba.
