Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, are a busy couple and the holidays might be the only time they get to spend with their family full-time. For the most part of the year, the couple is occupied with their various humanitarian projects.

The Cambridges spent time together with the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, at the Sandringham Castle just like every year. This annual tradition brings the entire royal family, including the extended one, together for the celebrations.

To wish their followers on Christmas, a photo was shared by the Kensington Royals showing Prince William planting a kiss on his youngest child, Prince Louis', cheek, while his older children, Prince George, 6, and Princess Charlotte, 4, pose next to them. The photo was clicked by Kate Middleton. The accompanying message said, "Merry Christmas! This photograph of The Duke of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was taken by The Duchess of Cambridge in Norfolk earlier this year. We wish all our followers a very happy and relaxing Christmas Day."

Charlotte's dark green coat by Amaia was coordinated with her mother's green hat and green suede pumps, according to People. The youngest Cambridge sibling, Prince Louis, 1, did not make the journey up to the church and was likely being taken care of by his nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, at their home of Anmer Hall.

Queen Elizabeth, 93, arrived in a car and was accompanied by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Princess Anne the only daughter of the queen.
