The Prince and Princess of Wales have released a new family portrait for their 2025 Christmas card.

It shows William and Catherine sitting in a field full of flowers surrounded by their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

A post, shared by the couple on social media reads: "Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas."

The photo was taken by Josh Shinner in Norfolk in April this year.

Earlier this month, King Charles and Queen Camilla released their own Christmas card which featured a photograph of the pair in Rome.
