On Friday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a family portrait that will be used for their annual Christmas card. The image, taken on a trip to Jordan, shows Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3 gathered before a rocky background, seated on a variety of artifacts we would not expect to find in said environment: a fur rug, upholstered chairs, and a gilded stool. Middleton wears an olive green button-front maxi dress in the photo, her loose curls flowing down her chest in a variation on her typical polished blowout. By the duchess's side sits Prince William, clad in an uncharacteristically casual outfit: a brown polo, loafers, and cargo shorts. The Cambridges' youngest two, Charlotte and Louis, subtly coordinated in navy Maisonette sneakers. Kate Middleton Looked Like a Literal Christmas Present in a Red Midi Dress The portrait is certainly an aesthetic departure from last year's iteration, the theme of which was ostensibly "sweaters." The whole fam posted on a hay bale before a pile of logs, each Cambridge posing in a sweater and pants.
