Prince HarryandMeghan Marklehave started a new tradition — it’s their first-ever Christmas card!
The pair’s first festive season as a royal couple is being marked with the special card, and revealing a new peek at their private wedding celebrations.
In the image, the couple are photographed from behind as they enjoy the fireworks at the royal wedding evening reception at Frogmore House this past May.
In a statement, the palace says, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to share a new photograph from their Wedding Reception at Frogmore House on 19th May.”

Their office at Kensington Palace released the image on the same day as one from Harry’s brotherPrince Williamand his family.
It has been a momentous year for both princes. Harry and Meghan weremarried in Mayand in October — just as they kicked off their tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji —announced they are expecting their first child, which is due in the spring.

That child will be a cousin to William and Kate Middleton’s three children — includingPrince Louiswho arrived in April. (Kate also became an aunt to sister Pippa’s son.)
The new year will, too, bring a lot of changes for Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37. They announced last month that they will leavetheir current home at Kensington Palaceand move into Windsor Castle’s Frogmore Cottage, close to the house where theirevening wedding partywas held and where their engagement photos were taken.
Windsor, located about 30 miles west of London, is a “special place” for the couple, their spokesman says.
The announcement of their move came just days after news broke thatPrince WilliamandPrince Harryareconsidering breaking up their joint “court” at Kensington Palaceand creating two separate offices.
With William one day set to be the Prince of Wales – and all that entails as heir to his fatherPrince Charles– Harry and Meghan will want to forge their own path, so it’s a natural time to split up, insiders believe. (The palace has no comment.)
“The arrival of Meghan has changed the dynamic of the relationship in a fairly significant way,” royals author Sally Bedell Smith previously told PEOPLE. “It is inevitable and practical because it gives Harry and Meghan some freedom to build up their own collection of interests and charities.”
She added, “Meghan has very strong views on what she is interested in and that may be what Harry shares, but not what William and Kate share
