Prince William and Kate Middleton's Adorable Christmas Card Leaked Online
The royals are celebrating the holiday season just like the rest of us: by sending out adorable family Christmas cards. This week, the 2019 version of their greeting leaked when a recipient posted the message on Twitter, a post which has since been taken down, but not before it had been retweeted many times.
This year's edition of their holiday card features the proud parents posing alongside their three kids: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. In the photo, the whole family wore casual blue ensembles, and posed on a motorbike and sidecar.
Last year, the Cambridge family's holiday greeting featured a casual image of the royals posing at their Anmer Hall home. Will and Kate both wore jeans in the picture, as did Prince George. The image was taken by Matt Porteous, who has photographed the family on numerous occasions in the past.

Back in 2017, Will and Kate released a more formal portrait of the family of taken by Getty photographer Chris Jackson. Of course, this was their last holiday as a family of four—Prince Louis arrived in April 2018!

The royal family has been sharing holiday greetings for decades, and it's become a beloved tradition for royal fans, though it's unclear when this particular image will be officially released.
The Cambridges have been busy this holiday season: Prince William started the month with a royal visit to Kuwait and Oman, while both Will and Kate teamed up with cooking icon Mary Berry for a festive Christmas special, which aired in the U.K. this week.
Yesterday, all five Cambridges were seen arriving at Queen Elizabeth's annual Christmas lunch, a celebration that takes place at Buckingham Palace. The royals arrived in two separate cars, with Kate driving Charlotte and Louis and William driving George.
We can expect to see Will and Kate again on Christmas day as they join the rest of the royal family for church at St. Mary Magdelene in Sandringham. This year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be in attendance, instead, the family is spending the holidays with Meghan's mother Doria Ragland.
