The photo, taken in the fall by photographer Matt Porteous, shows the family in front of a pile of wood in Anmer Hall, their home in Norfolk, East England.
But now that the country is under the spell of the coronavirus pandemic, this festive season will be a little different.
According to a Buckingham Palace spokesperson, the Queen and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, will “quietly” celebrate this year’s Christmas at their residence at Windsor Castle.
“After considering all the appropriate advice, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have decided that they will spend Christmas peacefully in Windsor this year,” the statement said.
The Queen and Prince Philip have spent most of their time at Windsor Castle this year, having pulled away from Buckingham Palace during the first wave of Covid-19 in the spring.
