Prince Harry’s latest Christmas card, featuring him, Meghan and their children, has taken social media by storm. The card shows moments from the couple’s 2024 tours and charity work, but it’s one image in particular that has garnered significant attention.
In the photo, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are seen running towards their parents with open arms, a moment that body language experts, like Jane Moore, find intriguing and somewhat worrying.
In his comment to the sunMoore noted that the children’s body language suggested they had not seen their parents in a while, raising questions about the family dynamic. “Whatever. I was more intrigued by the fact that Archie and Lilibet run into their parents’ arms like they haven’t seen them in eons,” he observed.
Moore’s thoughts draw a comparison to a similar moment in Princess Diana’s past. He referenced a 1991 photo in which Diana greeted her sons, Harry and William, on the deck of the Royal Yacht Britannia during an official visit to Canada, her arms outstretched in a warm embrace.
For Moore, this comparison highlights the strong emotional connection between parents and children, making the distance implied in the Christmas card photo more notable. In her article, she also expressed concern about the couple’s public narrative.
He warned that using his family life to support his business ventures, such as his ‘Archewell’ foundation, could risk undermining his carefully curated image. “The scaffolding of their ‘perfect life’ that they are narrating risks eroding if they were to use their family life to keep their ‘Archewell’ basket standing.” Moore warned.
Additionally, Moore noted the business struggles the couple has faced, with several businesses appearing to be struggling or “failing.” As she said: “Everything they touch commercially seems to be struggling. Or “failure”, as American liberal bible The Cut described it last week. Oh.”
While the Christmas card certainly draws attention, these observations from Moore suggest that there are deeper concerns beneath the surface of the couple’s public image, especially when it comes to their personal and business lives.
