Kate Middleton Wore Skinny Jeans on the Royal Family Christmas Card
Kensington Palace just released Kate Middleton and Prince William's Christmas card for 2018, and it's as adorable as ever. This year's photo was shot by Matt Porteous at Anmer Hall and features the family of five looking as normal as ever. Middleton stuck to a laid-back version of her classic style for the card, wearing a crewneck sweater over a button-down shirt and you guessed it: skinny jeans. Middleton rarely wears jeans that aren't skinny jeans, so it makes sense that she wouldn't stray from her favorite denim style for the occasion. Middleton chose a dark-wash denim (as did Prince William), which undoubtedly makes for the most polished of skinnies.
On a related note, Kensington Palace also released the photo for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's card: a photo of the couple watching the fireworks display at their wedding reception. We're guessing that since their Christmas card next year will include a royal baby, it'll be a bit more similar to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's card this year. Stay tuned.
