Coming from a royal expert in the know.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been spending time with their children over the summer and so public appearances haven't been quite as frequent. However, we did see Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the weekend as they joined their parents at the wedding of Sophie Carter, one of Kate's good friends who is godmother to Charlotte. There was no sign of Prince Louis though and after reports that he's changed a lot, we are eager to see new photos of the little boy. Apparently, there is an upcoming event which might see photos of the entire family released as it's tradition to release an annual Christmas card. Emily Nash is royal correspondent for Hello magazine and she made this prediction in a recent Facebook Live which you guessed it, was all about the royal family. Emily said that the royals traditionally release a Christmas card each year and of course, the 2017 card was a big hit. Here's a glimpse of last year's version in case you didn't get a look at it, I mean hello, the CUTENESS with the card clearly having a dominant blue theme.

However, there is a slight chance that Prince Louis will make an appearance at some rather important birthday celebrations as his grandfather Prince Charles turns 70 in November. Rumours suggest it will be a grand affair but again, Kate and Wills could well decide to leave their youngest child at home.
