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.
A royal fan reportedly created the digital card with an alleged glimpse at the couple’s rarely seen children: Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
The black-and-white picture features the fake Archie dressed in a sweater and cargo pants, posing next to his little sister, who appears to be wearing the same floral dress that the actual Lilibet has on in the Sussexes’ real Christmas card.
The edited image also shows versions of Harry and Meghan’s rescue dogs, Mia and Guy, behind the kids.
“Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Prince Archie & Princess Lilibet,” the fake card reads.
The picture made its rounds on X (formerly Twitter) as critics called the image out for clearly being fake.
“Creepy,” one fan wrote.
“This is so very weird,” someone else said.
“A complete fabrication, 100% AI. And to think some people will believe this is real,” another tweet read.
Another 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 different fan said.
“The kids don’t even look like brother and sister. They look like exactly what they are AI,” another tweet read.
“Worst photoshop ever,” somebody else wrote
The Post has reached out to Harry and Meghan’s reps for comment.
Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, released their real Christmas card earlier this month, with a rare snapshot of their two children.
One of the six photos on the card features Archie and Lilibet — who both have red hair, just like their dad — running toward their parents. The family’s three dogs are in the picture as well.
The card includes five other photos of Harry and Meghan during their trips to Nigeria and Colombia earlier this year.
“On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation,” the Christmas card’s message read.
“We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year,” it added.
Last week, Harry and Meghan and their kids enjoyed a quiet Christmas at home in California after they were once again snubbed from the guest list for the royal family’s annual get-together at Sandringham House.
They celebrated the holiday with Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, at their Montecito home, according to royal biographer Ingrid Seward.
“Meghan says it’s important for her that Archie and Lilibet can have ‘connective memories’ of Thanksgiving and Christmas at home and enjoy the traditions like putting out ‘carrots for the reindeer,” Seward told the Mirror.
The rest of Harry’s estranged family congregated in St. Mary Magdalene Church on Sandringham Estate in Norfolk on Christmas Day.
King Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, who have attended morning mass at Sandringham Church annually on Christmas for years, were joined by Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children have been recreated in a ‘creepy’ AI Christmas card that has left many people feeling unsettled.
The card, created by a digital artist using artificial intelligence, features lifelike images of the couple’s two children, Archie and Lilibet, alongside their parents. The AI-generated images are eerily realistic, with the children’s faces appearing almost too perfect and flawless.
Many people have taken to social media to express their discomfort with the AI Christmas card, with some calling it “so very weird” and “creepy.” Some have even speculated about the implications of using AI to create images of real people, particularly children.
While AI technology has advanced in recent years, creating incredibly realistic images and videos, there is still a sense of unease when it comes to recreating real people, especially young children, in this way. The debate over the ethical implications of AI-generated content is likely to continue as the technology becomes more widespread.
