King Charles and Queen Camilla Share 2024 Christmas Card Following Health Challenges

The royal couple's festive photo reflects a year of resilience and recovery, featuring a casual portrait taken in Buckingham Palace's garden.

  • The 2024 Christmas card features an informal photo of King Charles and Queen Camilla, taken in April in the Buckingham Palace garden by photographer Millie Pilkington.
  • The card's message reads, 'Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year,' and marks their third holiday card since Charles became King.
  • The couple selected the photo to symbolize a return to normalcy after Charles resumed public duties following his cancer treatment earlier this year.
  • King Charles, diagnosed with cancer in February, briefly stepped back from royal engagements but resumed them in April, including hosting a state visit by Japan's Emperor and Empress in June.
  • Queen Camilla faced her own health challenges recently, recovering from pneumonia in November, but has since returned to some royal duties.
