The young family of five is captured in a moment of holiday joy in their 2020 Christmas card portrait. Take a look.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released their official family Christmas card portrait. And considering we’re all going through a global pandemic, everyone seems pretty joyful.
In addition to Kate Middleton and Prince William, the photo shows a smiling Prince George, 7, his younger sister Princess Charlotte, 5, and the youngest, Prince Louis, 2.
Matt Porteous snapped the photo, one of many official shots he’s taken of the family over the years, including their Christmas card from 2018.
“It was an honour to photograph The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family,” he captioned his Instagram post featuring this year’s holiday portrait. “Capturing the fun and relaxed moments between such a wonderful family is always a true privilege.”⠀
