King Charles and Queen Camilla have revealed their 2025 Christmas card, showcasing a significant moment in their lives. The card displays a portrait taken on their 20th wedding anniversary in April. The image captures the royal couple, standing together at Villa Wolkonsky in Rome, the British ambassador’s residence. Surrounded by a dark red border, the card carries a printed message in a matching hue, extending warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
The couple marked their 20th marriage milestone on April 9, 2025, during a state visit to Italy. They commemorated the occasion by attending a lavish banquet as guests of honor. The photograph featured on the card, snapped by royal photographer Chris Jackson, shows Camilla donning a white and beige coat dress by Anna Valentine, adorned with a lily of the valley brooch. King Charles is elegantly dressed in a blue pinstripe suit, complemented by a gray tie and a silk handkerchief in his pocket.
Sending out numerous Christmas cards each year to relatives, friends, world leaders, diplomats, charities, and organizations, the King and Queen are gearing up to host the wider royal family on Christmas Day at Sandringham in Norfolk. Notably, disgraced former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will not be present at this year’s celebrations, having been excluded from the Royal Family due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Traditionally, the Royal Family partakes in a Christmas morning walk to church, followed by a festive turkey roast and the viewing of the King’s Christmas broadcast on TV. Despite ongoing cancer treatment for the monarch, King Charles and Queen Camilla have maintained a busy schedule, including travels to Canada, meeting the Pope, and engaging in various royal duties across the UK. Hosts to three state visits at Windsor this year, including visits from President Emmanuel Macron of France, President Donald Trump of the US, and President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany, this marks a rare occurrence of three state visits to the UK in nearly four decades.
