The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have released a new family photo wishing everyone a merry Christmas. The photo features Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The Christmas family photo of the young royal family shows an all-smiling Kate crouching and holding seven-month-old Charlotte. A candid Prince George stands by his mother as Prince William looks on.
The photo was posted online on Kensington Palace's Twitter page and is the second such photo released for the public featuring all the four members of the royal family in one frame. William, Kate and the two little heirs were last photographed together at the christening of Princess Charlotte in July.
A statement on the Twitter post read: "A new family photo - Merry Christmas from The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The Duke and Duchess are hugely appreciative of all the warm messages they have received about their family this year and are very much looking forward to their first Christmas as a family of four."
Kate's Christmas plans
This will be the first Christmas for Princess Charlotte and the first Christmas for the four royals together. During her visit to North Wales along with Prince William last month, Kate Middleton said Prince George already had his mind on the holidays.
Asked if she had started preparing for Christmas Day, the 33-year-old Duchess said: "I haven't started yet, but George will be starting to talk about Christmas soon."
The Duchess has also attended the Queen's annual Christmas lunch accompanied by Prince George and her brother-in-law Prince Harry, while Prince William was away to attend a memorial service at St Michaels Church in Mere, Wiltshire.

Star Wars The Force Awakens heading towards historic box office records

Star Wars: The Force AwakensAfter smashing the advance ticket sales record, Star Wars The Force Awakens is set to create new box office history. The JJ Abrams directed movie has already broken the opening night record in the US and Canada.
The space opera produced by Disney/Lucasfilms has earned $57m (£38m) on its opening night, easily beating Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 that earned $43.5m in 2011.
Deadline reports that the movie's opening weekend collection will exceed $251m to $255m in the US. The estimation was derived after calculating the midnight ticket sales from the east and west coast of the country.
According to a report by Variety, Disney has claimed that the seventh instalment of the space thriller has earned $72.7m in two days from 44 international markets while creating single day collection records in the UK, Germany, Sweden and Norway.
The movie has earned £9.64m in the UK and Ireland, setting a new opening day box office record, a report by BBC claims.
"Already breaking pre-release sale records, many people are speculating that Stars Wars: The Force Awakens may well challenge Avatar for the highest grossing movie of all time title," Connor Campbell, a senior market analyst at Spreadex.
"At the very least the latest film in the sci-fi series should see Disney, set to benefit in the New Year when the film's revenue is factored into the company's next quarterly report, recoup a significant chunk of the $4 billion it paid George Lucas for the rights to the saga. Disney may well see a boost as early as next week, when the film's first weekend figures are announced," he added.
Industry pundits previously predicted that The Force Awakens has the potential to become the greatest movie of all time in terms of earnings.
"This represents a new record for the industry and portends a massive and potentially record-breaking opening day and weekend for the film," Paul Dergarabedian, of box office tracker Rentrak told Rappler. "The potential for The Force Awakens to ultimately break into the $2 billion club worldwide is certainly in the realm of possibility," he added.
Disney, however, remains cautious while predicting the movie collection and is estimating $200m earnings over the weekend.
Star Wars 7 begins 30 years after the events of The Return Of Jedi and introduces new characters to carry forward the story of the Force, the Jedi and Empire.
