Kate and William’s PDA
The Future King’s Knees!
It’s not every day the future king shows a little leg. It’s rare to see William in a pair of shorts instead of his usual long trousers. (Although he has worn shorts forsporty royal outings!). This is the first year William has worn shorts in the family’s Christmas card photo, which shows that the prince was in total vacation mode.

- The Perfect Color
WhilePrincess Charlotte, 6, andPrince Louis, 3, are matching in blue, William, Kate andPrince George, 8, sport olive green (a color they’ve worn in previous Christmas card photos). The earthy hue symbolizes peace and harmony, which is especially fitting for the holiday season. As William’s heir, it’s fitting that George would coordinate with his dad — right down to the little prince’s relaxed stance.

- A special locale.
While the majority of the Cambridge family’s Christmas card photos were taken at their country home, Anmer Hall, this year’s was snapped while they were on a private vacation in Jordan. The country holds significance for Kate as she lived in Jordan for two years as a child when her father worked for British Airways. The mom of three likely wanted to share those childhood memories with her own children. According to a friend,Kate “desperately” wants normalityfor her kids, and family trips are a big part of that. “She wants to emulate her upbringing, living in the countryside with a close-knit family,” a friend of the royal previously told PEOPLE. “She desperately wants that normality for her own kids.”
