King Charles and Queen Camilla reveal this year’s Christmas card

King Charles and Queen Camilla chose a photo of themselves in Rome for their official Christmas card.

The photo, taken during their official visit to Italy in April, shows the smiling couple standing side by side on a garden path. The greeting inside reads, “Wishing you a very happy Christmas and New Year.”

The King, standing on the left, wears a navy blue and gray tie, while the Queen wears a white and beige coat dress.

This photo is their fourth Christmas card since Charles became King.

The photo, taken by photographer Chris Jackson, was taken on the grounds of Villa Wolkonsky, the British ambassador’s residence in Rome.

It was filmed to celebrate the King and Queen’s 20th wedding anniversary.

The Queen also wears the lily of the valley brooch, a symbol of enduring love.

This year’s photo, like last year’s, is more informal than the photo chosen for Christmas 2023.

Last year’s photo was taken by Millie Pilkington and was taken as the King returned to public duties following his cancer diagnosis and treatment.

The couple was photographed smiling in the gardens of Buckingham Palace on a sunny day.

In 2023, the King and Queen chose a photograph of themselves in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace following their coronation.

Christmas images used to decorate public holiday cards are regularly released by senior members of the Royal Family.

It will take several days for the royal couple to personally sign all the cards, which will be sent to people around the world, including family, friends, world leaders and organisations.
