This is a very beautiful, romantic, endearing, and intimate photo of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I can see why they are using this wonderful for their Christmas cards on their 1st holiday together as a married couple.

Cambridge’s are gorgeous. Rude #meghanmarkle has her backside turned to the camera while dim #princeharry looks at his bleak future. Please get rid of them #duchessofsusSEX and more of #DuchessofCambridge in 2019 #megxit #sohohousemeg
