’Tis the season for adorable family photos.
Prince William and Kate Middleton released their family's Christmas card to the public on Wednesday (December 16). Unsurprisingly, it's pretty cute. In the photo, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sit in front of a woodpile with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The picture was taken at Anmer Hall, their country residence in Norfolk.
"The Duke and Duchess are delighted to share a new image of their family, which features on their Christmas card this year," the caption from the official Kensington Palace Instagram post reads.
While the Cambridge family was able to release a Christmas card as they've done in years past, their normal holiday plans have been disrupted due to the ongoing pandemic. The family of five usually spends the holidays at Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate, which is also located in Norfolk. Queen Elizabeth is usually joined by most of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren for the occasion. This year, however, only three households are allowed to gather together on Christmas in the U.K.
"Having considered all the appropriate advice, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have decided that this year they will spend Christmas quietly in Windsor," a spokesperson for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip stated. It was reported, though not confirmed by the palace, that the couple's youngest son, Prince Edward, and his wife and children would be joining Her Majesty for the holidays.
As for how the Cambridge family will be spending the holidays? Right now it's unclear, however, it's likely they'll spend Christmas at Anmer Hall with just the five of them.
