“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family,” a statement from Kensington Palace reads. “The photograph, which features on Their Royal Highnesses’ Christmas card this year, shows The Duke and Duchess with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in Jordan earlier this year.”
Last year’s Christmas card was slightly less formal. The photo was captured by photographer Matt Porteous at the family’s country home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall. Each family member dressed in a sweater, and they posed in front of a large stack of logs.

The royal family members spent last year apart due to the pandemic lockdown in place in the United Kingdom. This year, The Daily Mirror reported Queen Elizabeth, 95, plans to host family members at her Sandringham estate.
The palace has yet to confirm plans but this holiday will feel very different compared to years prior due to the death of Her Majesty’s husband, Prince Philip, in April. The Duke of Edinburgh died at age 99. They were married for over 73 years.
