With the 2019 royal Christmas card seemingly leaked online, we take a look back at the best from years gone by
Although Kensington Palace has yet to officially release this year’s Royal Family Christmas card, it looks like the picture has been leaked online already.
On Wednesday, a member of the Royal Air Force Cadets appeared to tweet a picture of this year’s official card from the Duchess of Cambridge. The original tweet itself has been deleted, but many took screenshots of the photograph.

It is expected that the image will be officially released from the Royal Family in the coming days.
The image of the Duke and Duchess with Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte inspired us to look back at some other royal Christmas cards from throughout the years, which are an interesting glimpse into the history of the family.
Here are our favourites:
2018: William, Kate, George, Charlotte and Louis
