The Prince and Princess of Wales have released a new black and white photograph of their three children as the Royal Family celebrated Christmas.
Sharing the photo on X, formerly Twitter, the royal couple wrote: “Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas, from our family to yours!”
The photo features Princess Charlotte sitting between her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis on a bench, with her arms slung around their shoulders.
The three beaming children are all dressed in white shirts. The photo is part of the same series that featured on the family’s official Christmas card.
The photos were taken at Windsor earlier this year by Yorkshire-born photographer Josh Shinner.
