An image showing the Prince and Princess of Wales walking hand-in-hand with their family through the Norfolk countryside has been released by the couple as their official Christmas card picture.
The photograph of Prince William and wife Kate with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was taken on a sunny day earlier this year.
The five members of the royal family can be seen strolling along a path, with Prince William holding the hand of future king George at one end, while at the other, the princess holds Prince Louis’s hand, with Princess Charlotte in the middle, holding hands with her brothers.
The royal children are dressed for a day out exploring the countryside, in short-sleeve tops and shorts while their parents are also casually dressed.
The moment was captured by photographer Matt Porteous, who has taken Christmas pictures for the couple a number of times, most recently in 2020, as well as images to mark significant moments in the royal couple’s life.
Mr Porteous is also a wedding photographer and was reportedly commissioned to photograph singer Ellie Goulding’s 2019 wedding to Caspar Jopling.

Christmas images used to decorate official festive cards are regularly released by senior members of the royal family, with cards sent to friends, family and colleagues.
King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla released their own Christmas card image at the weekend.
The photograph of the couple was taken by Sam Hussein during the Scottish Highland Braemar Games in September, a few days before Queen Elizabeth II died.
Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.

Heavily-sugared soft drinks slip through the tax net
Some popular drinks with high levels of sugar and caffeine have slipped through the fizz drink tax loophole, as they are not carbonated or classed as an energy drink.
Arizona Iced Tea with lemon is one of those beverages, with one 240 millilitre serving offering up 23 grams of sugar - about six teaspoons.
A 680ml can of Arizona Iced Tea costs just Dh6.
Most sports drinks sold in supermarkets were found to contain, on average, five teaspoons of sugar in a 500ml bottle.
Muslim Council of Elders condemns terrorism on religious sites
The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the criminal attacks on religious sites in Britain.
It firmly rejected “acts of terrorism, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sanctity of houses of worship”.
“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.
The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
