‘Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas – their Royal Highness the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,’ the couple shared. 

The post, which was accompanied by emojis of a Christmas tree, Santa and a snowman, came as the Queen and other members of the Royal Family prepared to head to the annual church service on the Norfolk estate.

Harry and Meghan have stonewalled calls for them to cut short their six-week trip and return home in the wake of Prince Philip’s hospitalization. 

Last month, the Sussexes and eight-month-old Archie secretly flew to Canada for a holiday.

Since then, the Royals have endured a tough time as Prince Andrew continues to bunker down amid a swirling storm over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile, Philip is recovering from a four-night stint in the King Edward VII Hospital in Marylebone, London.

According to the Sun, some Royals have privately urged Harry and Meghan to jet back to show support.

A source told the newspaper: ‘Even before the Duke became ill, many were at a loss as to why Harry and Meghan would miss what could be one of the last family Christmases with the Queen and Philip… 

‘There is a feeling they are being inconsiderate and selfish, given the Queen and Philip’s advancing age.’

But the couple is seemingly staying put in North America and is ignoring calls for their return.

The couple missed the Queen’s pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace and the monarch’s annual get together at her private Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

It comes after a family Christmas card of the royal couple smiling in front of a Christmas tree, with Archie’s adorable face staring down the camera lens, was revealed.

Shortly after the card was released several claimed on social media that the image had been ‘photoshopped’.

But American actress Janina Gavankar was asked by her friend Meghan to take the image for the card which shows her, Prince Harry with their son Archie in the foreground.  

Gavankar, 39, tweeted: ‘So proud to have taken the Christmas photo for one of my best friends and her family. Here’s the original that was sent out.’

The Duchess, a former actress, lived and worked in Toronto during her time starring in the popular US drama Suits, and the couple were famously pictured together when Meghan joined her then-boyfriend Harry at the 2017 Invictus Games in the Canadian city.

Buckingham Palace had previously announced the Sussexes intended to take a six-week break from duties and would not spend Christmas at Sandringham with the Royal Family.
