  • Kensington Palace shared Prince William and Kate Middleton's 2021 Christmas card Friday
  • The family portrait featured on their card was taken during a trip to Jordan
  • Royal fans gushed over how grown-up Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis look

Prince William and Kate Middleton's three kids are all grown up in a new portrait released by Kensington Palace.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared on Instagram and Twitter Friday a new portrait of their family — including their three children, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3 — that is featured on their 2021 Christmas card.

"Delighted to share a new image of the family, which features on this year’s Christmas card," the royal couple wrote alongside the image.

The newly released portrait showed the family of five posed in front of a stone background. Prince William and Duchess Kate sported matching green outfits while seated next to each other and smiling.

She rocked a dress, while her husband wore a polo shirt and khaki shorts. The couple showed some subtle PDA in the photo, placing a hand on each other's knees.

Their three children kept their outfits casual. Princess Charlotte grinned in a blue plaid dress. Prince Louis wore a striped shirt, while their older brother Prince George smiled in a camouflage button-up.

The picture was taken during a private family trip to Jordan, according to Kensington Palace.

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family," read a statement obtained by People. "The photograph, which features on Their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card this year, shows The Duke and Duchess with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in Jordan earlier this year."

Middleton lived in Jordan for two years as a child when her father worked for British Airways. Prince William also previously visited the country as part of his tour of the Middle East in 2018.

Royal fans couldn't help but gush over the Cambridge family, especially the three young royals, whom many of them said looked all grown up in the new portrait.

"Wonderful picture. The kids are growing so fast," one commented.

"Beyond precious! So much love and joy in this picture. Thank you for sharing it with us all," another added.

"This is so sweet," a third user wrote. "Look at how grown up the children look!"

"Such a beautiful photo," a fourth user commented. "The children are so grown up."

In last year's Christmas card, Prince William, Middleton and their kids held each other close while wearing cozy sweaters and sitting on a haystack at the family's country home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall.

Their 2019 holiday card, on the other hand, featured the couple and their three little ones posing on a motorbike and sidecar.
