The Prince and Princess of Wales took to their official social media accounts to share the heartwarming family portrait. The caption read, “Our family Christmas card for 2023 [Christmas tree and heart emoji].”
The monochrome photo features the family of five—Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5—donning matching white button-downs. The picture, taken by photographer Josh Shinner earlier in the year in Windsor, captures a moment of familial warmth.
A statement released on behalf of Kate and William expressed their joy in sharing the photograph: “The Prince and Princess of Wales are very pleased to share a new photograph of their family.
