The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released their first Christmas card from the US, and to nobody's surprise all eyes are on little baby Archie.
Prince Harry and Meghan uploaded a unique festive card with a hand-painted picture of the pair with 18-month-old Archie and their beloved two dogs sitting in front of a cubby house.
The colourful image was posted on the Mayhew charity's social media accounts and there was one detail fans were quick to pick up on.

Fans were quick to flood the comments section with love and praise, most prominently for Archie and his hair, which is flaming hair in the painting.
"Is that red hair I see on little Archie?" mused one fan.
The painting is based on a photo taken this month at the family's $20 million estate in Montecito, California, by Meghan's mother Doria Ragland, according to a spokesperson.
"The small Christmas tree, including the homemade ornaments and other decorations, were selected by Archie, and the tree will be replanted after the holidays."
With luscious green gardens surrounding the family, the image captures the parents, who stood down as senior royals this year, playing with their son in a cubby house.

A statement from the Duchess on the organisation's website reads: "This year we, as a family, have made donations to several charities with you in mind.
"From a local California organisation that helps families transition out of homelessness, to two of our UK patronages: one that supports animal and community welfare, and the other, a memorial fund for a cherished friend that helps to educate children and fight poverty in Uganda, we have honoured their work on behalf of all of us."
The family's pet dogs sit front and centre of the image.
The text on the card read: "Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
Archie hasn't been pictured publicly since his first birthday in May, when Meghan shared a video of the pair reading a book called Duck! Rabbit! in support of a Save The Children campaign.
