What have experts said?

According to royal commentator Jordon-Lee Squibb, the Cambridges’ photo shows William and Kate “more relaxed than ever”.

He said: “The new photo released from the Prince and Princess of Wales shows a family firmly focused on the future.

“It has become routine now for the family to release a new portrait before Christmas, and this year’s image perhaps shows William and Kate more relaxed than ever, surrounded by their three children.”

He added: “It’s been a challenging year for William and Catherine, with the loss of the Queen, criticism for their visit to Jamaica and the ongoing headlines from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s latest Netflix documentary.
