Kensington Palace just released a new photo of Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their kids, which will be featured in their Christmas card this year. The image, taken by Matt Porteous, shows the royal family of five in a sweet autumnal portrait, dressed casually and posing by a tree together.

As expected, the real stars of the photo are the royal brood: Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and Prince Louis, seven months. The eldest Cambridge sibling—dressed in a sweater, blue pants, and little wellies—goofily poses on a tree branch while holding onto his dad's shoulders.

Princess Charlotte smiles slyly while standing between her parents in a blue knit sweater, dark blue skirt, and boots. Meanwhile, Prince Louis looks cute as a button in his mother's arms, wearing a light blue sweater, navy bloomers, tights, and tiny shoes.

This also marks a rare sighting for Louis, as he's been fairly out of the spotlight since he was born in April. He's only made two major public appearances: leaving the hospital on the day of his birth and at his christening in July. His other cameos since then have been through official portraits, like those released from his baptism and on his grandfather Prince Charles' 70th birthday.

This year's Cambridge Christmas card photo is a lot more casual than last year's, where the family of four dressed in more formal, matching blue outfits at Kensington Palace.

In 2016, the family didn't even pose for an official portrait, and used a pool photofrom their royal tour of Canada instead.
