Laughing Louis steals the show on Kate Middleton and Prince William's Christmas card

A royal fan has shared a glimpse of Kate Middleton and Prince William's Christmas card.

It features the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The relaxed family photo shows the Cambridges sitting on an outside bench with a pile of wood behind them.

Little Louis looks very happy and cheerful as he smiles, showing an expression full of joy.

The smiling family can be seen wearing warm and cosy winter clothes.

The card is addressed "To all the amazing NHS staff," with the message: "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year."

It's unclear when or where the photo was taken as it has not been officially released by Kensington Palace but the family have spent most of the pandemic at their Anmer Hall residence in Norfolk.

Instead numerous royal fans have shared photos of their cards online.

Previous cards from the family have been taken at their Norfolk home, with last year's featuring the Cambridges posing on a vintage motorbike and sidecar.

Yesterday, Kate and William treated their children to a special Christmas pantomime to celebrate Britain’s coronavirus heroes.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis sat with their parents in the royal box to watch a special performance of Pantoland for key workers at the London Palladium, starring Julian Clary and Elaine Page.

In a speech, Prince William paid tribute to Britain’s key workers.

He also marked the death of Dame Barbara Windsor, who died at a London care home on Thursday evening.

William said: “Before I go on, I want to pause and pay tribute to a true national treasure, Dame Barbara Windsor, who so sadly passed away last night.

“She was a giant of the entertainment world, and of course a legend on pantomime stages across the country including here at the London Palladium.

"And I know we’ll all miss her hugely.”

During the interval Kate also met key workers and their families to hear more about their experiences over the past year.
