Princess Kate References Her Cancer Journey—and Sticks it to the Media—With Poignant Christmas Card Photo

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Kate Middleton wearing red and blue dress clothes in church holding candles and singing.

Royal fans have been anxiously awaiting Prince William and Kate Middleton's annual Christmas card, and on Thursday, Dec. 19, the couple finally shared their 2024 photo. Rather than release a new picture as they have in years past, the Waleses chose to use a sweet family photo that touched on their rather difficult year. But their choice to use an old photo also gave the press—and social media haters—no new material.

The Prince and Princess of Wales shared the image in an Instagram Reel that showed off the card sitting on a table with a twinkling Christmas tree behind it. Pretend snow falls in front of the card in the Reel, with the caption reading "Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas 🎄."
