Fans of the royal family got an unofficial sneak peek at the Cambridges’ annual Christmas card this year, thanks to a member of the Royal Air Force.
Harper’s Bazaar reports that Air Commodore Dawn McCafferty tweeted a photo of the personal card she received from the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton herself, which showcased a never-before-seen image of the royal family.
“A Christmas card from our royal patron, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, which I share with all members of the @aircadets,” tweeted McCafferty. “We send HRH and her family all best wishes for Christmas and hope to see her again in 2020.”
The card showcases the entire Cambridge family – Prince William, princes George and Louis, and Princess Charlotte alongside Kate – casually dressed in matching hues of pale blue and navy, posing outside.
“Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and New Year,” the card reads with a simply signed send-off from Kate.
The annual ‘Christmas March’
The eldest Cambridge children, George and Charlotte, are expected to take part in The Queen’s Walk to church on Christmas Day in 2019. It would be the two’s first time taking part in the royal tradition.
It is said that the public walk to Christmas church service in Norfolk is a renowned and adored royal tradition. (Meghan Markle, for example, joined for the first time in December 2017.) The big entrance usually takes place outside of St Mary Magdalene Church, which isn’t too far from the queen’s country home, Sandringham House, where she spends the holidays.
Royal family Christmas cards
In 2018, Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and Prince William and Kate all released their family Christmas cards on the Royal family’s official website.
