Kate Middleton and Prince William are enjoying the season.
The Prince and Princess of Wales revealed a new family photo on Tuesday for their 2022 Christmas card, which features their children Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4.
They captioned the new picture they shared on social media, “Sharing a fresh picture of the family for this year’s Christmas card.”
The family of five is pictured holding hands as they stroll outside while wearing casual attire in earlier this year photograph, which was taken by Matt Porteous at their home in Norfolk, England.
While their kids elected to wear shorts and short-sleeved shirts, William, 40, and Middleton, also 40, wore blue trousers and long-sleeved shirts.
The family has decided to relax more for their holiday photos in previous years.
During a private family trip to Jordan last year, Middleton, Prince William, and their kids posed for pictures. William, George, and Louis donned polo shirts and shorts, while Charlotte and the mother of three wore gowns.
The family also appeared to be comfortable in sweaters in 2020 as they sat on haystacks next to one another.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’ family were shot with their children for their most recent official holiday portrait in 2017 at Kensington Palace.
After what has been a trying year for the royal family, their new holiday card gives some happiness.
William’s paternal grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on September 8 at the age of 96, and his father, King Charles III, assumed the throne.
Since Her Majesty’s passing, the family won’t be spending Christmas together until this year. The royal family previously congregated to celebrate Christmas at the late monarch’s house, Sandringham House.
The royal family has not disclosed their holiday plans for this year. It’s also unknown if Prince Harry, the wife of Meghan Markle, and Williams’ brother would attend this year given the bombshell docuseries they just released that criticizes the British press and their association with the royal family.
