FAB FIVE: Prince William and Kate release adorable Christmas card ahead of 'Harry & Meghan' part 2

'Sharing a new picture of the family for this year’s Christmas card!' the royals captioned the new snap, posted on their social media account

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: The Prince and Princess of Wales' yearly Christmas card have been released on social media as a token of gratitude for the support they receive from over the world. It follows a well-worn theme in which the pair gives the world a glimpse of their quickly expanding trio of children. It is a stark contrast to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's previous claims of a dynasty burdened by tradition and expectation, where men marry not out of love but rather to "fit the mold."

This year's holiday card features a new photograph of the Wales family, which includes their three children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4. The five family members are pictured holding hands and are all wearing casual clothing for a stroll in the sunshine. George, Charlotte, and Louis all wear shorts and sneakers, while Prince William and Princess Kate both wear jeans.

"Sharing a new picture of the family for this year’s Christmas card!" they captioned the new snap, posted on their social media account. The picture was shot by one of their favorite and trusted photographers, Matt Porteous, in private on the royals' Sandringham Estate in Norfolk earlier this year.

The picture also serves as a reminder that Prince Harry and Meghan's claims that, had they chosen to stay in the UK, they would have been forced to "offer up" their own children for intrusive public consumption are as shaky as some of the videos in their new docuseries. According to Daily Mail, Prince Harry is weighing a number of offers from major US TV networks as part of his promotional tour for his upcoming tell-all biography 'Spare' in which he is aiming to continue exposing royal secrets.

A source told the Mirror, "Prince Harry is not stopping talking when the Netflix series is released. In a month, he will be out on the promotional trail again. Unlike now, where Netflix has let the show speak for itself, (Penguin) Random House has him on board for select promotion for the book. They invested more than $30M (£24M) in it, so they want it to appeal to as many people as possible."
