Prince William Kisses Louis In New Family Photo Sans Wife Kate Middleton

Prince William sweetly kissed his youngest child, Prince Louis, in a new family picture without his wife, Kate Middleton.

A few days ago, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Christmas card leaked. In the snap, Prince William and Middleton were joined by three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Many were wondering why they didn’t share the shot on their official account on social media.

On Christmas Day, Kensington Palace shared a new family photo of the Cambridges on Twitter. In the black and white snap, the future king is joined by his three kids, but Middleton is noticeably missing. It turned out that she was not on the photo because she was behind the camera. In the snap, Prince William kisses his youngest son, Princess Charlotte stands behind his younger brother while Prince George sits on a chair.

“This is so lovely .... thank you for sharing glimpses of your family’s life,” one commented.

“Thank you so much for making our Christmas 10000000000000000x better!!! I love this family!” another royal fan wrote.

Meanwhile, the Cambridges’ critics accused them of copying the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just released their e-card featuring a black and white photo with their son Archie taking the center stage. However, their Christmas card sparked controversy because many felt that it was photoshopped.

Several fans took Twitter and shared their similar observations about the photo which convinced them that it was digitally altered. One said that Markle’s face was clear while everything else in the photo was blurred. Another said that it was photoshopped because the rugs between Prince Harry and Markle were different.

A different online user also insisted that the photo was fake because the family members were actually not together. The same netizen said that Markle “faked everything,” so she doesn’t trust the photo and even blamed the former “Suits” star.

In related news, an old clip of Middleton and Prince William has resurfaced where the duchess subtly touches her husband’s back. Middleton’s sweet gesture didn’t go unnoticed because the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge rarely pack on PDA.
