In September, Kate shared an emotional video with her husband and children, where she revealed that she was “cancer-free.” She expressed, “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we’ve had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
Recently, some observant recipients of her Christmas card noticed that Kate seemed to be wearing the same outfit as in the September video, leading to the assumption that the image is not a recent one.
One person on X commented, “This is not new but I guess that’s okay as long as she’s healthy.” Another user pointed out, “The Prince and Princess of Wales have used a still from their September film shot by Will Warr for their Christmas card. The footage was shot in Norfolk in August and released to mark the announcement that Kate had finished her chemotherapy treatment.”
A third observer speculated, “They are bringing it out now to try to cover up his absence at the Buckingham Palace lunch…” referring to the news that William and Kate will not be attending the annual festive lunch with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The message attached to William and Kate’s card says: “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.”
This comes just days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sent out their own Christmas e-card, which sparked significant online debate.
Some criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for potentially using AI to create their Christmas collage, which was shared with Archewell Foundation subscribers, while others suggested they might have used body doubles for their children in one particular photo.
A royal expert also claimed the couple violated royal tradition by not including a single photograph.
As a result, people are eager to see how royal commentators will react to William and Kate’s animated card…
