The British Royal Family fans are overjoyed as the Prince and Princess of Wales have released their highly anticipated Christmas card for 2023.
The latest adorable image showcases the entire family, all smiles and gathered together, posing for the camera.
The heartwarming photo was captured in Windsor, where the family resides at Adelaide Cottage.
When asked about the choice of style and photographer, a spokesperson from Kensington Palace revealed, “The Prince and Princess of Wales came across Josh’s work and wanted to capture a memorable family portrait.”
The resulting image draws parallels to a previous Christmas photo session back in 1992, featuring a black and white childhood picture of Prince William.
In stark contrast to his somber look in the past, the new family picture radiates happiness, with Prince William beaming alongside Catherine, displaying their unwavering love for each other.
It serves as a testament to the power of overcoming past struggles and finding joy.
In contrast to their previous Christmas cards, the Waleses opted for a casual look, perfectly coordinated in all white buttoned shirts paired with jeans.
While the photograph is undeniably sweet, the spotlight is stolen by the three children of William and Catherine, who appear remarkably grown-up and beautiful.
Prince Louis, in particular, seems to have been on his best behavior during the photo shoot.
Fans couldn’t help but notice his rapid growth in height, reaching the shoulders of his mother, who stands just over five feet tall.
Prince Charles himself towers at over six feet two inches, inheriting his height from his mother, Princess Diana, who stood at five feet eight and a half inches.
Observing Prince George’s height, royal enthusiasts remarked, “It looks like Prince George had a growth spurt.
In some pictures, he resembles William, while in others, he takes after the Spencers.
We adore how he leans into his mom, almost protecting her.
He looks like a king already.”
Fans of the royal family also couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between Princess Charlotte and her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
By coincidence, she even mirrored Her Majesty’s favorite pose.
Many have predicted that she will be the next star of the family, praising her confidence and class.
However, it was five-year-old Prince Louis who stole the spotlight in this portrait.
During his mum’s carol concert, he hilariously blew out Prince Charlotte’s candle, leaving his sister in stitches.
In the family photo, Prince George stands next to his mother with his hand casually placed in his pocket, while Princess Catherine lovingly wraps her arm around her son’s waist.
Princess Charlotte appears relaxed and poised as she sits in a chair at the front, confidently crossing her legs.
Prince Louis rests his arm on the side of the chair opposite to George, with his father’s guiding hand gently placed on his shoulder.
It seems like a firm hand is necessary to keep the mischievous Prince Louis from running off.
We can’t get enough of this cheeky little one.
Kensington Palace expressed their joy in sharing the new photograph of the family, stating, “The Prince and Princess of Wales are delighted to share a new image of their family.
This year’s card, while informal, exhibits more restraint compared to their previous season’s greetings.”
On the other hand, the King and Queen chose a more formal approach for their festive card, featuring a coronation photograph taken at Buckingham Palace.
The image captures Charles and Camilla standing side-by-side in the palace throne room following the ceremony in May.
Photographer Hugo Bernand skillfully immortalized the regal couple in this elegant picture.
The release of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ 2023 Christmas card has brought immense joy to fans of the British Royal Family.
