Prince William and Kate release casual family Christmas card

William, the Prince of Wales, and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, have launched their household Christmas card — and this yr, the royals went for an off-the-cuff vibe. The couple and their three youngsters, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, don denim, shorts and sneakers within the picture.

“Sharing a brand new image of the household for this yr’s Christmas card,” the couple shared on their Instagram account. The picture was taken by royal photographer Matt Porteous. 

Final yr, the Christmas card picture was a shot of the household on trip in Jordan. Once more, this card was more causal, with William and the boys sporting shorts. In 2020, their Christmas card was a more traditional shot — the household sitting in entrance of firewood.

The royals launch annual Christmas playing cards, normally one for every family. Earlier this week, King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla released their Christmas card — a easy portrait of the couple taken on the Braemar Games, a gathering of the Scottish highland video games held in September.

The Prince and Princess of Wales usually launch milestone photographs of their household, like their children’s birthdays, with a few of them taken by Catherine herself.
