Royal fans were quick to send their Christmas wishes to the Wales clan, with many praising the “lovely picture” chosen by William and Catherine.
“Lovely picture ❤️. Happy holidays to you all,” one wrote.
“Happy Christmas and here’s to a happy and healthy New Year.”
“Beautiful and true Christmas card! ❤️ A blessed Christmas to The Royal Family,” commented another.
“Merry Christmas Prince William and Princess Kate and your beautiful children❣️ Many blessings and health and happiness to you all xx.”
Catherine and William’s Christmas card comes after royal fans were treated to a rare glimpse of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet after their parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, released their annual Christmas card.
Among the photos on the card is a heartwarming image of Princess Lilibet, three, running into her father’s arms, while five-year-old Prince Archie reaches out to hug his mother. The card also features five additional images of the couple from their trips to Nigeria and Colombia earlier this year.
The message from the Sussexes read: “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation. We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year.”
Royal fans eagerly welcomed the rare glimpse of Archie and Lilibet, admiring how much the young royals have grown while sending their best wishes to the family for the festive season.
