Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla are spreading holiday cheer with this year’s majestic Christmas card featuring a formal photograph taken at Buckingham Palace on the day of their Coronation, May 6, 2023.
The elegant image captures the royal couple in the throne room, adorned in their Coronation regalia. King Charles wears the Imperial State Crown, Robe of Estate, and Coronation Tunic, while Queen Camilla dons Queen Mary’s Crown, Robe of Estate, and a stunning dress by Bruce Oldfield.
“Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year,” the card reads.
Royal fans enthusiastically responded to the photo, expressing their delight and admiration for the regal elegance captured in the image.
“Lovely. Merry Christmas,” one royal fan wrote.
“Merry Christmas to King Charles and Queen Camila!!”
“Happy Christmas Majesties. Thank you for everything you do.”
“Merry Christmas to his majesty King Charles and his beautiful wife, the Queen,” commented another.
“Who else enjoys seeing the royals Christmas cards every year? I look forward to them every season, along with the family greeting crowds after church.”
The formal image differs noticeably from the Prince and Princess of Wales’ more laid-back family group photo.
Prince William and Princess Catherine warmed the hearts of fans across the globe following the release of their own enchanting Christmas card.
The recently released photo, taken by Josh Shinner earlier this year, shows the couple posing with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The family of five is dressed in matching button-down shirts. Kate and Charlotte wear jeans, while William, George, and Louis coordinate in dark pants. Charlotte and Louis sport matching canvas sneakers. The picture is completed with William and Kate each with an arm around their sons, and Charlotte taking centre stage in a chair.
“Our family Christmas card for 2023,” the Prince and Princess wrote.
Much like King Charles and Queen Camilla’s photo, social media platforms erupted with enthusiasm as fans and admirers rushed to express their delight over the Prince and Princess of Wales’ choice of imagery.
