A fake Christmas card with what appears to be an AI-generated photo of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children has gone viral on social media.
The card, reportedly made by a royal fan, offers an alleged glimpse of the couple’s rarely seen children: 5-year-old Prince Archie and 3-year-old Princess Lilibet.
The black-and-white image shows the fabricated Archie wearing a sweater and cargo pants, standing next to his younger sister. The fake Lilibet appears to be dressed in the same floral outfit seen in the Sussexes’ actual Christmas card.

The altered image also includes depictions of Harry and Meghan’s rescue dogs, Mia and Guy, positioned behind their children.
“Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Prince Archie & Princess Lilibet,” reads the fabricated card.
The image circulated widely on X (formerly known as Twitter), where critics were quick to point out that it was clearly fake.

“Creepy,” one fan commented.
“This is so very weird,” another added.
“A complete fabrication, 100% AI. And to think some people will believe this is real,” a different tweet stated.
One more user wrote, “Lili looks more like Archie than Archie does.”

“No one can create an AI-generated picture of Archie & Lili because we simply don’t know how their faces look like. Therefore AI doesn’t know either. The last photos of their faces are from when they were babies, and children’s appearances are changing with a speed of light,” a fan commented.
“The kids don’t even look like brother and sister. They look like exactly what they are AI,” another user tweeted.
