Kate Middleton and Prince William’s new Christmas card is a nod to her recovery following chemotherapy and the family’s “brutal” year.

Unlike Christmas cards of years past, the 42-year-old Prince and Princess of Wales’ 2024 greeting showcases a previously seen family portrait. This one, which shows the couple embracing each other and Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, comes from their September announcement that Kate was cancer-free and had completed chemotherapy.
