Royal Family’s Sunny Norfolk Stroll Caught on Camera
Prince William and Duchess Catherine were spotted enjoying a bright day in Norfolk with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The kids looked playful in short-sleeve tops and shorts, while William and Catherine kept it casual in jeans and trainers.
The candid snaps were taken by Matt Porteous, a photographer who has a history of capturing intimate family moments. The Duchess of Cambridge, an avid photographer herself, has also shared official family photos in the past.
Christmas Card Tradition Continues
Every year, the royals reveal their favourite family shots for the Christmas cards they send out. This year, the King and Queen Consort unveiled their card on Sunday. King Charles and Camilla’s photo was snapped at the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering in early September, just days before the Queen’s passing at 96.
The exact date of William and Catherine’s recent family photo is unknown, but Porteous has previously captured key moments such as Prince George’s 5th birthday and events like the Chelsea Flower Show.

Family Drama Heats Up Amid New Netflix Series
This year’s Christmas reveal lands amid fresh tensions between Prince William and Prince Harry. Netflix’s controversial “Harry & Meghan” series dropped a trailer this week featuring a fiery quote from Harry: “They were happy to lie to protect my brother, they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.”
While “they” wasn’t explicitly spelled out, most assumed Harry was pointing at the Royal Family. Interestingly, another trailer version changes the line to: “The British media are happy to lie to protect my brother,” stirring even more speculation.
