While in America we have to make do with the Kardashian Christmas card, over in Europe the royals have delivered with some pretty stylish festive portraits.

Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton posed alongside their three children, George, Charlotte and baby Louis, at their country seat, Anmer Hall.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared an ultra-romantic black and white photograph from their wedding reception, featuring the pair watching fireworks during their wedding reception at Frogmore House.

But the Brits weren't the only royals releasing Christmas pictures.

The official Swedish royal Instagram account shared a few photos of their young royals celebrating St. Lucia Day (a festival to commemorate an early Christian martyr).

The traditional costumes include long white gowns, with a red sash for Princess Estelle, and a gold hat for Prince Oscar.

The Monaco royal family shared pictures of Princess Charlene's twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella in their Christmas regalia. Earlier this week, the twins celebrated their fourth birthday.

Spain's royal family also released a relaxed Christmas photo, taken on a September visit to Asturius, as well as a shot of Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia with King Felipe of Spain in Madrid.

Over in Norway, the royal family delivered a posed photo Donald Trump would be proud of. The shot included the whole family - except for the eligible, surf-loving family member Marius Borg, who has taken leave from public life to attend college in Los Angeles - sitting in the Royal Palace in Oslo.
