Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla have unveiled their festive Christmas card as the royal family gradually prepares for the holiday season.

In the photo, the King of the United Kingdom is dressed in a grey suit, complemented by a blue tie with white polka dots. Meanwhile, his partner posed in an elegant indigo-colored dress, highlighting her outfit with golden earrings.

The photo was taken in the gardens of Buckingham Palace in April 2024. The photographer is Millie Pilkington, who is frequently invited by the royals to create official and memorable cozy photographs.

"Christmas is coming! Their Majesties are pleased to share this year’s Christmas card," the caption for the photo reads.

Internet reaction

Fans of the globally famous family have reacted enthusiastically to the post. Many left compliments, and here are some of them:

  • "Lovely photo! Both of them look so happy in it."
  • "Wonderful photo of Our Majesties! Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas."
  • "May God always bless the royal family. May the King and Queen reign for many years."
  • "An amazing photo! And Her Majesty always looks stunning in this shade of blue."

Photographer Millie Pilkington responded that it is truly an honor that the Royal family chose one of her photos for their card.

It is worth noting that earlier this year, it was revealed that Charles III is battling cancer. The palace did not specify which type of cancer the monarch is facing, but it was mentioned that his treatment is showing positive changes. Furthermore, he recently paused his treatment when traveling for official duties.

Charles’s daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, is also battling cancer. This was announced in March, and with her health improving, she has even been able to partially return to her duties.

Interestingly, Kate and William, unlike Charles and Camilla, have not yet released their Christmas card. However, they are expected to do so soon, as it is an annual tradition.

Meanwhile, Kate Middleton made her first public appearance in a long time.
