Royal watchers were left puzzled after Prince William and Princess Kate unexpectedly deleted their Christmas card post just minutes after sharing it on social media.
On the evening of December 19, the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a heartwarming video showcasing their Christmas card adorned with a snowy effect.
The card featured a touching family photo of the couple with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
“Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas,” the message on the card read. However, the post was swiftly taken down, igniting speculation among fans.
One concerned follower commented, “I hope everything is okay between William and King Charles because why else would he delete the post?” Another fan wrote, “Wishing you guys a Happy Christmas! I hope from the bottom of my heart the joy of Princess Catherine’s recovery makes this the most special one yet.”
The mysterious deletion coincided with rumors of tension within the royal family during the pre-Christmas period, leading to a swirl of online chatter.
Hours later, the post was re-shared with a slight adjustment to the card. The updated version appeared to feature a more zoomed-in take on the original family photo.
Will Warr, the photographer chosen to capture this year’s Christmas card, broke his silence about the moment. Posting on Instagram, he wrote, “An honor to capture this year’s Christmas card for the Prince and Princess of Wales.”

Despite the brief confusion over the Christmas card, the updated post has been widely praised, with many fans appreciating the intimate glimpse into the family’s festive celebrations.
