Royal Christmas Photo: Princess Charlotte Wears Prince George's Cardigan

The Sweet Detail You Missed In The Royal Christmas Portrait

Over the weekend, Kensington Palace revealed the royal family's 2018 Christmas cards. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex opted to use a never-before-scene photo from their May wedding, while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a sweet portrait with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The family of five are pictured in the garden of Anmer Hall. George and Charlotte stand behind their parents, while Kate holds Louis in her arms.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family. The photograph, taken by Matt Porteous, shows The Duke and Duchess with their three children at Anmer Hall. This photograph features on Their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card this year.

Despite the adorable photo being shared thousands of times, there's a sweet detail we'd missed - until now. Three-year-old Princess Charlotte is actually wearing her big brother's blue cardigan.

George first wore the cardy to the Queen's 90th birthday in 2016, when he was the same age Charlotte is now:

@the_british_monarchy have just released this photograph of The Queen surrounded by her two youngest grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, to mark Her Majesty's 90th birthday. This is the first in a series of three official photographs. It was taken at Windsor Castle just after Easter by renowned portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. #HappyBirthdayYourMajesty

Too cute!
