2024 has been filled with bittersweet moments for the family. Prince William, Princess Catherine and their childrenPrince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis finally released their long-awaited Christmas card. However, they briefly took it down from their social media accounts before reposting a revised version. The updated card features a close-up of a lovely family photo framed in olive green and silver. The card features the future king and queen with their three children.

This year's card contrasts with last year's artful black-and-white photo, taken by photographer Josh Shiner. The new photo shows them happily sitting on a bale of straw. Princess Catherine and Prince William share a deep bond as they look forward to Year 5, which is expected to be a year of hope and love. The Cambridges enjoy the cozy British feel of their home at Amner Hall. They have recently introduced casual royal outfits. Prince George, who is almost as tall as his mother, wore a blue T-shirt, while Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis wore a white blouse and summer shorts, respectively.

Their beautiful Christmas card has received warm comments from royal fans wishing them a happy holiday season. The original video, shared by Will War in Norfolk, revealed that Princess Catherine has completed her cancer-preventive chemotherapy. The couple appear in various scenes at their estate, enjoying moments with their children outdoors. Some Americans may be surprised that the publicly funded royal family isn't more social during the holidays. The video depicts animated snowfall, although the Christmas card photo was taken indoors.

The card itself is shown in the foreground, with a simple but sparkling Christmas tree in the background. Over the years, Prince William and Princess Catherine's Christmas cards have captured their growing family, with cherished portraits of their children. Whether it's a fun family photo, a formal royal engagement or an intimate family photo, their cards reflect warmth and togetherness. In 2022, they shared a photo of them holding hands while walking in the beautiful Norfolk countryside, showing a relaxed and heartfelt family moment.

For their 2021 card, they chose a never-before-seen photo from a private trip to Jordan. In 2020 and 2018, they chose photos taken at Amner Hall. Each photo is a reminder of the family’s growth, the way their children have changed and the changing royal family. It highlights how Catherine and the Queen have managed to balance their public and private lives. This year’s card is expected to be a tender reminder of their journey. While the spotlight has been on William and Catherine, the Christmas card released last week by King Charles and Queen Camilla is also a highlight.
