The release of their Christmas card came the day after the family's appearance at the annual Christmas service at Westminster Abbey. Led by Kate, this year's service was partly dedicated to those working to support babies, toddlers and families in communities across the UK, in line with the Shaping Us early childhood development initiative. In addition to Kate Middleton and William, the three children present as well as their mother and father took part in the event.
Last year the family celebrated their first holiday as Wales, with the card serving as their first communication under their new de facto surname.
Previously, William, Kate and the children went by the Cambridge family name, but adopted the Welsh name when William and Kate were created Prince and Princess of Wales following the death of Queen Elizabeth in 2022. Although the royal family's last name is technically Windsor, the trio of children took the name Wales from that point on at school just as William and his brother Prince Harry did when they were young.
