On the card, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex focus their attention on a light-haired Archie, as the family is surrounded by their two dogs, a miniature house and lush vegetation. Nearby is a small Christmas tree decorated with a red bow.
“Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,” the card says.
“This year, as a family, we’ve made donations to various charities thinking of you guys,” Meghan says on the card. “From a local California organization that helps families get out of homelessness, to two of our UK sponsorships: one that supports animal and community welfare and the other, a memorial fund for a dear friend who helps to educate children and fight poverty in Uganda., we have honored his work on behalf of all of us. ”
Caroline Yates, CEO of Mayhew, said the organization was thrilled to have Markle as a patron.
“We have been especially honored to recently receive a personal donation from the Duke and Duchess, which will allow us to further help cats, dogs and pet owners who need it during this harsh winter period,” Yates wrote.
