An insider has revealed that Prince William and Kate Middleton have made a 'huge gesture' just a matter of days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released their Christmas card.
Earlier this week (16 December), the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent out a card for the festive period featuring six snaps, with one seeing Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, making a rare appearance.
The card's message reads: "On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year."

Following the release of the card, which caused quite a stir online, an insider has now opened up about the status of William and Kate's marriage, pointing to a 'very special' trip the pair allegedly have to look forward to.
An insider told Closer magazine that the past year has left the Prince and Princess of Wales 'closer than ever'.
"The foundations of their marriage are impregnable and the hardship of this year has brought making time for one another so very, very important," the source continued.

They went on to claim: "Will is ever the romantic - Kate values their alone time, nothing is more special than having her prince to herself.
"So he's planning a romantic getaway - just the two of them - Will has set the wheels in motion to whisk Kate away.
"And those close to them wouldn’t be surprised if the royal couple took this time out to reaffirm their wedding vows in a private blessing."

The insider also shared: "This has been a tough year for Kate and Will and a complete emotional roller coaster. He’s confided to friends that everything has been thrown in their path, but he is proud of how they have weathered the storm.
"However, he has watched on as Kate has had to operate on autopilot this year to put on a normal show for the children and to get by - so an MOT for the soul is much needed for them both to reconnect."
Speculating where the alleged vow renewal ceremony could take place, the source added: "They want to go somewhere secluded - Will has employed a trusted family friend in assisting with this very special private getaway to a place of extreme importance – Africa and the wildlife reserves are a love for them both.
"To have their wedding blessed there after 14 years would be really special."
