The Royal Christmas Card is here!

The adorably unRoyal like Christmas card for Prince William and Kate is here! The photo was taken while on a private trip to Jordan recently. Kate spent two years of her life in Jordan as a child when her father was working for British Airways.  Prince William was there back in 2018 but this is a more recent trip with the kiddos. I have to say, with Wills rocking the man spread and Kate all but cracking up, it's one of the more casual and connectable Royal photos we've ever seen.  Just lovely.

When the special competition ends on 12/17, the show will return to regular shows ...
