King Charles & Camilla Release Their First Christmas Card

King Charles & Camilla Release Their First Christmas Card

King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, have released their 2022 Christmas card, featuring a photo that was taken days before Queen Elizabeth’s death in September.

The royal family shared the Christmas card on Twitter on Sunday. The card features a photo of Charles and Camilla at the Braemar Games in Scotland on September 3, alongside the message: “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.”

The photo was taken by royal photographer Samir Hussein and was personally selected by the king and queen consort, according to a Buckingham Palace press release sent to Insider.

The photo shows Charles, wearing a tweed jacket and looking into the distance as Camilla, who wore a green jacket and matching hat, smiles at him fondly.

The image was taken five days before Queen Elizabeth died at Balmoral Castle on September 8. She was 96.

It marks the first Christmas card released by the couple since Charles ascended the throne.

We’re pleased to share this year’s Christmas Card from The King and The Queen Consort.
