EXCLUSIVE: How Princess Kate Showed She Hopes 2026 Will Be 'Year of Hope' After Royals' Annus Horribilis
A nontraditional Christmas card hints at a fresh start.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 43, released the card on December 18, featuring a previously unseen family photograph taken in April by Josh Shinner.
The image shows Kate Middleton, Prince William and their three children – Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 – sitting smiling together in a field of blooming daffodils.
The choice of a Spring-themed image is now being widely interpreted as representing Kate’s hopes of renewal and health in 2026 for her, her family and The Firm.
