Today, Prince William and Kate Middleton released their official family Christmas card featuring their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Baby Louis.

In the casual photo shared on Instagram by the Kensington Palace, the family is seen lounging in a tree and smiling, including 8-month old Louis, who made his official Christmas card debut. 

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family. The photograph, taken by Matt Porteous, shows The Duke and Duchess with their three children at Anmer Hall,” the palace wrote as the caption. “This photograph features on Their Royal Highnesses’ Christmas card this year.”

It has become a tradition of the royal family to share their holiday cards with the public, as last year, the card which was shot in the summer, featured the family of four wearing coordinating blue outfits. 

In light of the holidays, the palace also shared new photos of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle, who wed in May. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are delighted to share a new photograph from their Wedding Reception at Frogmore House on 19th May. The photograph, which was taken by photographer Chris Allerton, features on Their Royal Highnesses’ Christmas card this year,” the caption read.

The festive season is in full swing for the royals, as Will and Kate, who tied the knot in 2011, recently hosted a party for military families on December 4. 

For Christmas this year, Will, Kate, and their kids will be joining Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, and the rest of the royal family at the Queen’s estate in Sandringham. Apart of their royal Christmas traditions, the family opens their presents on Christmas Eve. Then after attending their church outing on Christmas day, they head back to Sandringham House for a lunch of Norfolk turkey and other festivities. 

Will and Kate have also started a few traditions of their own, as in the past years, Prince George has gone to see Santa near the family’s country home at Anmer Hall.
