Harry and Meghan share never-before-seen wedding photo for their Christmas card

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released a never-before-seen black and white image of their wedding reception for their first royal Christmas card.

Taken at Frogmore House on May 19 by Chris Allerton, the snap shows the couple embracing as they watch a fireworks display across the lake.

The couple once again appear shun royal tradition thanks to their choice of photo, which doesn’t feature their face and is taken at a glamorous occasion.

The couple, who are expecting their first child in spring 2019, will soon be moving to Frogmore Cottage, a 10-bedroom grade II listed house in the grounds of Frogmore House in coming months.

While it will be their first festive season as a married couple, but Meghan and Harry won’t be spending Christmas morning together, according to a royal expert.

The 34-year-old Duke and 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex are due to appear with the rest of royal family at Sandringham on Christmas Day, for their annual pilgrimage to church.

However, despite the couple being inseparable ever since they tied the knot on May 19th, royal tradition will see them spending time alone before joining the rest of the clan.

Darren McGrady, who is the Queen’s former chef, told the Mail on Sunday that the royal women usually have a light breakfast in their rooms, while the men gather at 8:30am downstairs for a breakfast of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, grilled kidneys and kippers.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold seconded the claims, saying the men and women are quite separated in the royal family on Christmas morning.

Shunning tradition

However, it’s highly likely Prince Harry would be up for shunning this royal tradition, especially considering he decided to sit out the annual royal hunt last year, out of respect for how Meghan feels about hunting animals.

As well as being newlyweds, who obviously want to spend the festive season together, Harry and Meghan would also want to be together due to the fact that it’s Meghan’s mum, Doria’s, first Christmas with the pair.
