Unveiled this December 19 on social networks, the cardboard uses a photograph already seen in September, since it is an image from the film used to announce the end of Kate Middleton’s chemotherapy. The heir couple appears smiling alongside George, Charlotte and Louis in a country setting, abandoning heels and ties for much more everyday outfits corresponding to the new mantra of the Princess of Wales: “to be grateful for the simple but important things of life”. life, which many of us often take for granted. Simply to love and be loved.
In December, however, the message changed since the couple from Wales wished “a very happy Christmas and a happy new year” to the recipients of this card, a message also written in the caption of the post on social networks. When making their choice of illustration, Kate and William obviously decided to keep the best of 2024, this image being directly associated with the princess’s recovery which is still continuing.
2024, “the most difficult year” for William
2024 will not have spared the British royal family, which was successively confronted with the cancer of Charles III, that of Kate Middleton, as well as Camilla’s health problems. Questioned by the BBC in November, Prince William declared that it was “the most difficult year of [s] life,” adding that “I’m proud of my incredible wife, I’m proud of my dad, for handling things the way they did. But from a family and personal point of view, it’s been brutal.”
If Kate Middleton has since completed her treatment, gradually resuming official appearances, Charles III continues to fight against his cancer, revealing however in July that he was “not too bad”. For 2025, the royal family can only hope for a milder year, where everyone will be able to leave health problems behind in order to display the same smile as the greeting cards on a daily basis.
