It’s that time of year where the members of the Royal Family will be issuing their Christmas cards, which will be sent to many across the country.
We’ve taken a look at the photographs used for this year’s Christmas cards
The King and Queen
This year, Their Majesties have opted for a more informal photograph for their Christmas card. The image was captured by photographer Millie Pilkington in April 2024 and shows Charles and Camilla smiling standing side by side in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
Queen Camilla is seen to be wearing a blue wool crepe dress by Fiona Clare, while King Charles is wearing a grey suit and blue tie.
It is likely that the image was taken at the same time as the one used to announce that The King was returning to public-facing duties ‘after a period of treatment and recuperation’ following his cancer diagnosis.
This year’s image is a complete contrast from last year’s choice, which was an an official Coronation photograph taken by Hugo Burnand in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace.

The Princess Royal and Sir Tim Laurence
For her 2024 Christmas card, Princess Anne opted for an image of her and her husband, Sir Tim Lawrence, riding in a carriage following the Order of the Garter service in June.
The Garter service takes place at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Inside the card, the message read: ‘With Best Wishes for a Happy and Peaceful New Year,’ above Princess Anne’s signature.
