Each year, supporters of the Royal Family gather online to share their thoughts on the seasonal card, with particular interest in seeing the Prince and Princess of Wales’ three children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis.
A look back at last year’s unconventional card
Last year’s Christmas card marked a departure from tradition. It was released on the same day Kate announced she had completed chemotherapy, following her cancer diagnosis revealed in March 2024.
That card featured a brief message reading: “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.”
However, the 2024 card raised eyebrows as it broke royal protocol by being presented as a GIF, complete with falling snow over a computer-generated image rather than a traditional photograph.
This year’s family photo revealed
The newly released image, shared on Kensington Palace’s social media channels, shows William and Kate seated on the grass among spring daffodils with their three children.
