The royal Christmas card was met with an outpouring of admiration, with fans praising the “lovely image” and expressing their affection for the couple.

“Absolutely love the photo of their Majesties,” one wrote.

“Lovely image, and sure to be pride of place at the recipients Christmas Celebrations.”

“My favorite King and Queen together!!” commented another.

“Merry Christmas to His Majesty King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla 👑 I know it’s been a heavy year for the royal family, and I pray for happier times in 2025.”

The royal Christmas card and the festive season arrive after a difficult year for the Royal Family, with both King Charles and Princess Catherine battling cancer.

The King’s health concerns first came to light earlier this year during a hospital stay for a procedure related to benign prostate enlargement.

Subsequent tests revealed the presence of cancer, prompting the King to commence a schedule of regular treatments.

Only weeks later, Princess Catherine issued an emotional message, revealing that she had also been diagnosed with cancer.

Fortunately, both Catherine and Charles have shown positive progress in their health battles, but despite their improvements, Prince William recently shared that the past year has been “dreadful” as he watched his loved ones battle cancer.
