Palace Unveils King Charles and Queen Camilla’s Christmas Card Featuring Rome Anniversary Portrait
Social media now carries the royal household’s holiday imagery to a global audience.
Overview
- The palace posted the card on Instagram, showing Camilla linking arms with the King in Rome’s Villa Wolkonsky in a photograph by Chris Jackson.
- Camilla wears an Anna Valentine coatdress and a Fabergé lily-of-the-valley “Return of Happiness” brooch, while the King appears in a blue pinstripe suit.
- The card includes the printed message “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year,” and the couple customarily send hundreds before the family’s Sandringham holiday.
- Seasonal reporting also highlights royal-linked retail, from Highgrove’s estate goods and Burberry collaborations to Prince Carl Philip’s Bernadotte & Kylberg homewares and Princess Madeleine’s Weleda skincare line.
- Shoppers face practical limits, with Meghan Markle’s As Ever shipping only to U.S. addresses and Château les Crostes wines not available for direct orders to Germany but stocked by other retailers.
