Included in the montage, captured by filmmaker Will Warr in Norfolk last month, the family is seen happily, and competitively, playing cards around a table with Kate's parents Carole and Michael Middleton . Watch the film below...
And the Waleses chose a thrifty way of keeping score during their game. In the middle of the dining table, coffee pod capsules can be seen for each player!
It seems that William, Kate and their children are big fans of card games, as footage of the family enjoying a picnic also shows them playing with a pack of RAF 'Battle of Britain' cards.
No doubt their family games bring out a bit of friendly competition between them all, with William and Kate renowned for their competitiveness when going head-to-head during their royal engagements.
The subject was brought up on Mike Tindall's podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby , last September with the Princess quipping: "I'm really not that competitive, I don't know where this has come from."
She then joked that she and William have never managed to finish a game of tennis, laughing as she added that "it becomes a mental challenge between the two of us".
And when Mike then asked if the couple's three children are showing signs of competitiveness, Princess Anne interjected to say: "Just a little bit, I would suggest."
