Kate Middleton releases New Year’s post and fans can’t get over one iconic detail
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has shared a series of personal highlights from 2024.
It seems incredible to say that the year is very nearly over, and when the clock strikes 12 tonight, we're all officially given a clean slate.
And while we all pop the Champers and reflect on the year gone by, chances are we didn't get up to quite as much as Kate, her husband Prince William and their three children.
Sharing a carousel of photos to the official @princeandprincessofwales account, it was captioned: "2024," with a tick emoji, followed by: "Happy New Year! Wishing you all a wonderful 2025."

Photos include the family taking part in carol services, carrying out charitable endeavours - and Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince William meeting the one and only Taylor Swift.
One person commented: "Princess Charlotte's smile with Taylor Swift is the best!"
Another said: "I love that Taylor made the cut."
A third said: "The joy on Princess Charlotte's and Prince George's faces with Taylor is priceless."
Those who remember the iconic meeting during Swift's Eras Tour will also know that Travis Kelce was in attendance.
Kelce, who has been in a relationship with Swift since October 2023.
The NFL star revealed on his podcast, New Heights, that the meeting actually broke royal protocol.
He told his brother and co-host Jason: "We met royalty, guys. There was royalty at the show. I got there early and got to meet Prince William. How bout that? Your Royal Highness.
"Dude, he was the coolest motherf**ker. He was so cool."
Jason then chimed in: "He was awesome. He was a good dude."
Travis continued, this time addressing British etiquette: "He was there with little George and Charlotte, and they were an absolute delight to meet.
"I wasn't sure if I was supposed to bow to them - courtesy [or] just be an American idiot and shake their hand. We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond."
He carried on: "We did get a warning because, honestly, we don't know the actual [etiquette]," he said.
"Because we weren't at an elegant, official royal event, we didn't have to bow. If it would've been an official meeting-of-royalty event, then it would have been that."
Jason then concluded: "They were wonderful people, and that's what it's about. They're part of a monarchy... [it's] hard to be a down-to-earth human being - I would assume. But [they] came off that way completely."
