Following the Queen's death, William and Kate were made Prince and Princess of Wales, with the title extending to their children. The Prince of Wales is also now King Charles's heir apparent, while George, Charlotte and Louis are now second, third and fourth in line to the throne respectively.

The Waleses are likely to join King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla at Sandringham for Christmas this year. 

Charles and Camilla released their own Christmas card on 11 December, showing the pair at the Braemar Games back in September.
