Happy Holidays From the Royal Fab 4! Will and Kate's Family Christmas Card Is Here
It’s a very merry royal family Christmas!
Prince William and Kate Middleton, who are expecting their third child in April, have revealed their family’s annual holiday card. And just like last year’s card, Prince George and Princess Charlotte take center stage, standing in front of their parents at home at Kensington Palace.

Prince George (in his knee socks!) and little sister Princess Charlotte also lit up the holiday season alongside their proud parents in the family’s Christmas card in 2015.
Will and Kate have a lot to be thankful for this season. In addition to the upcoming birth of their third child, they are also celebrating Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal engagement.
The two couples will be able to toast one another this season as they are all spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the Queen’s beloved country estate, Sandringham House.
The festive season is in full swing for little George, too. Dad William recently shared 4-year-old George’s wish list for Santa and he took part in his school’s Christmas nativity play — as a sheep!
