Prince William and Kate Middleton, The Prince and Princess of Wales, have released their official Christmas card for 2022.

The new family photograph, taken by Matt Porteous in the Norfolk countryside earlier this year, shows William and Kate walking hand-in-hand with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. With the sun beaming, it shows the family looking relaxed and happy.

The children are wearing short-sleeved tops, while William and Kate look casual in jeans and trainers.

Sharing the photograph on Instagram, the caption says: "Sharing a new picture of the family for this year's Christmas card! 🎄"

Earlier this week, King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, released their first official Christmas card. The photograph, taken just days before the late Queens' death, was captured at the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering on 3rd September 2022. Taken by Sam Hussein, it shows a smiling King and Camilla looking relaxed.

Buckingham Palace shared the image on Instagram, writing: "We're pleased to share this year's Christmas Card from The King and The Queen Consort. Taken at the Braemar Games in September 2022."
