As usual, Prince William and Kate Middleton took the family pose for the holiday season. For their traditional greeting card, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have relied on a photo taken earlier this year, when woolen sweaters and furry boots were not yet on the agenda! The photo unveiled on the couple’s official Instagram account, this Friday, December 10, 2021, would indeed have been taken during family vacation in Jordan. Few details are however known on this private stay in this country to which Kate Middleton is very attached.
On the portrait, Kate Middleton and Prince William appear all smiles, in summer outfits. Around them, their three children are gathered. Crown Prince George (8) is also smiling, wearing his eternal polo-short combo. For her part, her sister Princess Charlotte (6 years old) is more reserved in her charming plaid dress. Finally, Prince Louis (3 years old), the youngest of the siblings, appears grown up in the front row, sitting cross-legged. “Excited to share a new image of the family, which is featured on this year’s Christmas card“, was it specified in the caption of the publication.
It seems that the Cambridges have finally been able to take their children to Jordan, a country which holds a special place in the heart of the Duchess. During her childhood, Kate Middleton lived there for three years, when her father Michael Middleton worked there for British Airways. During an official trip in 2018, Prince William had hinted at their intention to introduce Jordan to their three children: “My wife Catherine is so sorry that she couldn’t be here with me so soon after the birth of our son Louis, but her family vividly remembers the almost three years she spent here as a child and that his father worked for British Airways in Amman“, he said, as recalled by Daily Mail.
