00:00 The Prince and Princess of Wales are getting into the holiday spirit with a festive greeting.
00:06 Prince William and Kate Middleton released their family's 2023 Christmas card over the weekend.
00:12 And the casual snap features a pair smiling with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
00:20 In the black and white photo, the royals are all dressed in matching button-down shirts and dark pants, with Prince Louis rocking some shorts.
00:28 Quote, "Our family Christmas card for 2023," Kate and Will wrote alongside the photo on their official social media accounts.
00:36 The portrait-style photo is different from the couple's past holiday cards.
00:41 Typically, Kate and William share colorful snaps of their family enjoying the outdoors.
00:46 But the new photo comes after a pretty busy year for Kate and William.
00:50 Access Hollywood previously spoke with DailyMail.com's Charlie Langston, who talked about how the duo are getting ready to lead the monarchy one day.
01:01 "William and Kate are already not acting as though they are already the leaders of the monarchy,
01:08 but they are taking on a huge amount of responsibility, not just in terms of public engagements,
01:15 but also in terms of the way in which the monarchy is run.
01:18 They're making small but very important changes, opening up the monarchy to a more modern point of view,
01:25 not perhaps in a way that is noticeable every single day, but bit by bit they have kind of helped the monarchy to evolve,
01:34 to kind of embrace new traditions, and to kind of maintain the important heritage of the past,
01:41 while also kind of saying, 'Okay, a few of the things that we used to do are seen as being very stuffy.
01:47 They are very stuffy. Here are ways where we can kind of maintain the tradition behind these things
01:52 without making it appear as though we are completely ignorant to what the rest of the world is doing."
