Prince William and Kate have shared a lovely photograph of themselves and their children for their Christmas card

Every year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their kids Princess Charlotte, Prince George, and Prince Louis release a Christmas card for their followers to enjoy. 

The photo was taken back in Autumn by Matt Porteous, an award-winning photographer.

Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince George, seven, have confident smiles, while youngest child Prince Louis, two, pulls a cheeky face. 

All are wearing casual clothing and Charlotte has got into the festive spirit with a Christmas jumper.

The Cambridges aren't the only ones releasing their Christmas card, as Prince Charles and Princess Camilla have also released their photo in the lead-up to Christmas.

Their photo was taken at the lovely Birkhall Estate, in Scotland. They can be seen in casual clothing relaxing on a bench in their organic garden in the image, which was taken by a member of their staff.
