Prince William and Kate Middleton were all smiles while posing alongside their three kids,
Prince George,
Princess Charlotte and
Prince Louis. The card comes one month after the Prince of Wales admitted the Princess of Wales' cancer battle was "brutal" for their family.
"This is a masterclass in non-verbal communication. After everything this family has been through, this photograph sends a clear message: we are united, we are strong, and we are looking forward," body language expert
Chris Pardo said on behalf of

"This is a masterclass in non-verbal communication," Chris Pardo continued. "After everything this family has been through, this photograph sends a clear message: we are united, we are strong, and we are looking forward."

Chris Pardo also noticed Prince Louis cozying up to
Prince William in the snapshot.
"Prince Louis' posture is the most telling detail. By leaning back fully against his father, he displays a complete release of physical tension," Pardo noted. "Children simply don't do this unless they feel completely safe. It signals absolute trust."

"What really stands out is Kate's smile. It's what we call a 'Duchenne' smile — one that reaches the eyes. You cannot fake that," Chris Pardo added. "It tells us she is genuinely happy, and given what she's been through, that's incredibly reassuring to see."

In 2024, Kate Middleton, who is now in remission, shocked the world when she announced she had cancer. In recent months, Kate has slowly opened up about her health battle.
"You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult," the future queen admitted while visiting Colchester Hospital.
