Royal fans have been sharing snaps of a Christmas card sent by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Sent in response to the kind Christmas wishes they received from royal supporters over the season, the holiday card was a "thank you" of sorts. The photo features Prince William, Kate Middleton and their two young children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, on their royal tour of Canada last year.
The photo, reportedly taken by British photographer Arthur Edwards, was snapped back in September at achildren’s party held for military families at Victoria, Canada’s GovernmentHouse.
