Kate Middleton has excited fans with the clip as she officially kicked of Christmas celebrations with Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Princess Kate is set to stay with "close family" as she won't host a "large crowd", according to a royal commentator.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, suggested this year's Christmas celebrations will have a special focus on supporting both the King and the Princess of Wales.

"After the year they've had, I'm sure it's going to mean the world to the King and Queen to have as many of their family as possible joining them for Christmas," She said.

"The celebrations become more and more child-oriented. Which is exactly what Christmas should be all about," the royal expert told OK!.

"If Catherine's parents are there, they will certainly stay at Anmer Hall. I'm not sure Catherine would yet feel up to hosting a huge crowd at the Hall, so I imagine it would just be close family," according to the expert.
