Kate Middleton cuddles up to William as Louis, Charlotte & George play on a vintage motorbike for 2019 Christmas card
EVERY year royal fans wait with bated breath for the family’s official Christmas cards to be released.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s 2019 card has now been revealed in a sweet family outdoor scene with their three kids: Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, four, and one-year-old Prince Louis.
A photo of the highly-anticipated family Christmas card was shared on Twitter by Air Commodore Dawn McCafferty.
The caption said: “A Christmas card from our Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, which I share with all members of the @aircadets.
“We send HRH and her family all best wishes for Christmas and hope to see her again in 2020.”
In the image the three tots are wearing matching navy outfits as they pose on a vintage motorbike and sidecar with their parents.
Kate, 37, is wearing a beautiful elbow-length patterned dress by Boden, which cost £120 but has now sold out.
She has been captured beaming next to her husband Prince William, 37, who is perched on the motorbike.
Little Louis, dressed in denim dungarees over a navy top, is perched on his lap.
Charlotte can be seen standing in the sidecar wearing a black and white gingham dress, with her hair in bunches, while her older brother George poses behind.
The Christmas card features a message from the Duchess of Cambridge inside the card, which says “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year”, and is signed by “Catherine”.
The vintage motorbike could have been an idea of the Duke of Cambridge, who is known to be a biking enthusiast.
He famously rode around London on the eve of his wedding in April 2011, and arrived for a game of five-a-side football in South London riding a red bike in March 2018.
Prince William has been an avid biker since he passed his test when he was 19, and has previously owned a number of bikes including an 1199cc Ducati.
Kate has previously expressed her fear of her husband’s bike obsession saying it “fills her with horror”.
Speaking in 2015, she said: “I’m terrified. Hopefully, I’m going to keep George off it.”
The Duchess of Cambridge became a patron of the RAF Air Cadets in December 2016 after the patronage was passed to her from Prince Philip, who held the role for 63 years.
The photo hasn’t yet been officially released by the palace, but fans are already gushing over the heartwarming family scene.
Last year’s card featured the sweet family-of-five beaming in autumnal bliss outside their country home, Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
Fans said ‘gorgeous’ Prince George stole the limelight as he was pictured in jeans for the first time.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s was a glossy black-and-white shot of the couple watching the fireworks at their evening wedding reception at Frogmore Hall in Windsor.
Body language expert Judi said of last year’s cards: “While William and Kate have chosen casual clothes and friendly, casual-looking body language to greet the viewer face-on to invite us to share in the fun of their cute-looking family, Harry and Meghan have chosen a pose with their backs to the camera.
“[They are] inviting us to admire their cool, romantic A-lister lifestyle here in what looks like an ad for the new Bond movie.
“Both cards are gorgeous but completely contrasting.”
