Prince William and Family Wish Everyone a Merry Christmas With a Sweet Card That Shows the Bond He Shares With His Children

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."

We got to see more of the young royals during the Christmas tradition of walking to the St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham where the service began at 11 a.m, according to TownandCountry magazine. Prince George, age six, and Charlotte, four, walked holding their parents' hands while their grandfather, Prince Charles, accompanied them up to the church for the first time in 2019. Camilla, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex and their children, were also present for the occasion.

In one of the photos, Kate Middleton can be seen escorting her daughter, Princess Charlotte, to meet the people who had gathered there to witness the royal family's annual tradition.

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.

Earlier, the royals shared a video of The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and Prince George coming together to make Christmas puddings at Buckingham Palace as part of a Royal British Legion initiative. Her Majesty and Their Royal Highnesses can be seen taking part in the pudding stir. Younge Prince George can be seen as having a tough time stirring the pudding while his grandfather and father add in more ingredients.

This year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, were absent from the family celebrations preferring to spend it with Markle's mother, Doria Ragland. Earlier this week, Prince Harry shared a black and white Christmas card with Archie's face front and center in the card while the prince and his break into laughter behind him. The Queen's Commonwealth Trust, a charity run by the couple, shared the image of the young and joyful family.
