Overview

  • Buckingham Palace published the card on Saturday, featuring a Chris Jackson photograph taken at Villa Wolkonsky during the couple’s April state visit to Italy.
  • The image shows Charles in a blue pinstripe suit with a grey tie and Camilla in a white and beige Anna Valentine coat dress with a brooch.
  • The printed message inside reads, “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year,” with the photo framed by a dark red border and matching text.
