Ah, Christmas. A time where Mariah Carey overtakes the charts, people start wearing horrible jumpers and celebrities – perhaps the only families to still take professional annual family photos – release cute portraits for us to swoon over.
Over in the US, we had Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ditch the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan to pose with just their four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, with everyone naturally dressed in matching grey tracksuits (and somehow managing to look good while doing it). Kardashian even later admitted the couple actually photoshopped their eldest, North, into the image after she refused to pose with her dad and siblings.
In the UK, the first of the royal family members have given us a glimpse at their Christmas card and subsequent new family portrait, albeit potentially by accident.
The Cambridges sent out Christmas cards signed by Kate Middleton to various charities and organisations they are affiliated with to wish everyone there happy holidays and naturally, one of the lucky people who received a card in the mail shared it to social media in a post which went viral. Though she quickly deleted all evidence, it wasn’t before people saved their own copies:

The adorable image shows Kate Middleton and Prince William with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis matching in blue and posing with a motorbike. It’s the first complete family photo since this time last year, when the Cambridges shared a photo of them in the garden of Anmer Hall to mark Christmas.
In the photo, Prince William is sitting on the bike with little Prince Louis in between his legs, while mum Kate stands alongside them wearing a blue floral wrap dress by British label Boden – which is, of course, now sold out. Prince George and his sister, Princess Charlotte, stand on the sidecar, both smiling to the camera.
Whether this is the official photo that the royal family was planning to release on their own social media accounts or another one that we were lucky enough to be treated to early remains to be seen, but we’d guess a post is coming from both the Cambridges and the Sussexes – the first with baby Archie Harrison – any day now.
