Prince William and Kate Middleton unveiled their much-anticipated 2025 festive card earlier today (18 December), following similar releases from King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla, as well as Princess Anne.
The Family Photo at the Center of Debate
The photograph, taken by photographer Josh Shinner in Norfolk back in April, shows the couple seated on the grass among spring daffodils with their three children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.
Charlotte is pictured resting her head on her father’s shoulder while holding his arm. Louis appears laid-back, leaning back between William’s legs, while Kate has her arm wrapped around George.
The message inside the card reads: “Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas.”
Online Speculation Over Image Editing
While some critics questioned the photo choice for lacking festive flair, others took to social media to speculate that the image may have been Photoshopped.
