Princess Kate and Prince William have released a new photo of their children to celebrate Christmas.
The picture, showing George, 10, Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5, the picture shows the royals sitting on a long, sleek wooden bench.
Taken by Josh Shinner, who took the family’s Christmas card photo, the picture shows Charlotte sitting between her two brothers with her arms round both of them.
George and Charlotte are looking straight into the camera while Louis appears to be up to his usual antics and staring off to the side.

Accompanying the message, William and Kate signed off the picture with: “Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, from our family to yours! W & C.”
The release of the picture comes just a few weeks after the royals released their Christmas card photos.
Appearing to have been taken on the same day, the Waleses opted for a more casual look in their Christmas pictures.
For their Christmas card picture, the monochrome image shows the family, all wearing plain shirts, arranged around a smiling Princess Charlotte who is seated on a chair.

The strange detail appears to have reared its head again in this most recent picture but fans have yet to take notice.
One royal fan previously commented on the Christmas card photo: “Why have Charlotte and Louis had their shoe laces taken from them?”
Another jokingly quipped: “Unfortunate situation that members of the Royal Family can’t afford shoe laces…”
One more added: “My father messaged our group chat to enquire as to why they’ve taken Princess Charlotte’s shoelaces.”
