The eight-year-old is positioned prominently alongside her parents and brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, in a captivating monochrome photo. Body language expert Judi James noted the subtle shift in dynamics compared to previous Christmas cards.
While previous portraits centered around Prince William, this year's composition appears to revolve around Charlotte. James observed, "[She] looks so much like the late Queen, and this central, status-rich pose and beautiful smile are like echoes of Elizabeth when she was young."
Seated confidently in the middle of the pose, Charlotte exudes confidence, relaxation, and elegance. James remarked, "If you took the others out of the pose, she would still make a congruent photo."
Charlotte's genuine happiness shines through her gleaming eye-smile and symmetric mouth smile. However, James also highlighted a poignant aspect – the way the family has gathered around Charlotte on a chair. While it may not be deliberate, it conveys a touching message in this family Christmas card.
The photo captures a moment of authenticity, blending the joy of the holiday season with a subtle tribute to the late Queen's enduring influence on the royal family.
