The King and Queen’s Christmas card has been revealed, displaying the monarch and his spouse smiling within the Buckingham Palace backyard.

Within the image, taken by photographer Millie Pilkington in April, Charles wears a gray swimsuit and blue tie.

Camilla is in a blue wool crepe costume by Fiona Clare and in addition wears personal jewelry.

It’s the couple’s third Christmas card since Charles grew to become King.

Its message reads: “Wishing you a really Comfortable Christmas and New 12 months.”

The cardboard includes a much less formal picture than the one final yr.

It confirmed the royal couple within the Throne Room on the Palace following the coronation.

The image, by Hugo Burnand, confirmed Charles carrying the Imperial State Crown, coronation tunic and the gown of property, with Camilla carrying Queen Mary’s Crown.

Senior members of the Royal Household usually ship festive playing cards to pals, household and colleagues.
