(The Post News)- King Charles III and Queen Camilla have unveiled their official 2025 Christmas card, featuring a heartwarming photo taken to mark their 20th wedding anniversary earlier this year.
A Romantic Anniversary Photo
The photograph, captured by royal photographer Chris Jackson, shows the royal couple standing side by side in the sunlit gardens of Villa Wolkonsky, the British ambassador’s residence in Rome, during their state visit in April 2025. The King, 77, is dressed in a stylish blue pinstripe suit, while the Queen, 78, exudes elegance in a white and beige coat dress by London couturier Anna Valentine, paired with a beautiful lily of the valley brooch.
A Cherished Tradition
The photo is framed by a dark red border, with a matching message inside reading, “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year”. This special Christmas card is a nod to the couple’s enduring love and commitment to each other, as they celebrate two decades of marriage. The anniversary was marked with a grand banquet during their Italian state visit, where they also had an unexpected meeting with the late Pope Francis.
Continuing Royal Traditions
The royal couple’s Christmas card tradition is a beloved part of the festive season, with hundreds of cards sent to family, friends, world leaders, and charitable organizations. Last year’s card featured a photo of the King and Queen in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. As the royal family prepares for Christmas, they will gather at Sandringham in Norfolk, continuing their cherished traditions. The Prince and Princess of Wales also kicked off the holiday season with a magical Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.
