Merry Christmas from the Prince and Princess of Wales! Prince William and Kate Middleton have shared their official holiday card, and the laid-back family portrait, likely taken during the summer, is one we'd all be delighted to receive in the mail this season.

In the never-before-seen photograph, which was shot by photographer Matt Porteous earlier this year, reports Entertainment Tonight, the former Duke and Duchess of Wales are shown taking a stroll with their three children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4.

Prince William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are seen in Norfolk, England. The photograph, which features on their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card this year, was taken by the photographer Matt Porteous earlier this year.

The five royals are pictured walking hand-in-hand in what is arguably one of their most casual Christmas cards yet; every member of the family is seen sporting some type of denim and sneakers. Prince William donned a Ralph Lauren button down and jeans as he strolled with his family.

On the other end of the photo is Kate, wearing a white floral-print shirt with a scalloped collar and skinny jeans. In the middle are the three tiny royals, all rocking similarly laid-back outfits, from Charlotte's romper to Louis' and George's shorts.

The royal family took to social media to share the sweet image with the world. "Sharing a new picture of the family for this year's Christmas card!" the couple captioned the picture.

The family photo wraps up 2022 on a joyful note, following a difficult year for the royals. In the wake of Queen Elizabeth the II's death in September, both Prince William and Kate assumed new titles and became the official Prince and Princes of Wales. The pair was given the elevated roles by Prince William's father, now King Charles III.
