Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, released their annual Christmas card and caused a stir. This year’s photo impresses with its simple elegance, and one fact in particular catches the eye of royal fans.
Surprise in the festive season before Christmas Prince William, 41, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 41, their loyal followers with their annual Christmas greeting card. The royal couple publishes a charming black and white photo, photographed by Josh Shinner, in which one detail sticks with the royal fans.
William and Kate: Your Christmas card surprises
A look back shows that this year’s Christmas card represents a departure from William and Kate’s previous traditions. In recent years, Kate and William have enjoyed appearing outdoors in natural, colorful settings, appearing almost undisturbed and extremely private with their children. This year’s Christmas card, however, surprises with a more formal studio setting, perfectly rehearsed poses and coordinated outfits consisting of white blouses and shirts combined with dark jeans. Prince George, 10, Prince Louis, 5, and Princess Charlotte, 8, shine alongside their parents, and the entire scene looks timeless and classic.
Princess Charlotte: “She looks like the young Queen Elizabeth”
Despite the simple design of the card, there is one detail that immediately catches the eye of fans and is being discussed lively on social media: Princess Charlotte’s striking resemblance to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. Comments like “Charlotte is so pretty and looks like the young Queen Elizabeth” or “Charlotte is looking more and more like the Queen” are piling up on Prince William and Kate’s Instagram profile.
The royal kids really big
“Look how grown-up they look!” says one comment, pointing out the children’s amazing development. In particular, Prince Louis, who at five years old no longer looks like a small child, and Prince George’s increasing resemblance to his father, Prince William, are repeatedly discussed by fans of the Royal Family in the comments. “Wow, I still remember when they were born. It’s crazy how quickly time flies,” writes an emotional fan under the festive photo.
