King Charles III and Queen Camilla have unveiled their official Christmas card for 2025, featuring a portrait taken during their recent 20th wedding anniversary celebrations to commemorate the holiday season.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla have released their official Christmas card for 2025, choosing a heartfelt portrait from their recent 20th wedding anniversary celebrations to mark the festive season.
The image, captured in April at Villa Wolkonsky in Rome which is the residence of the British ambassador to Italy, shows the royal couple standing side by side, with the Queen’s arm linked through the King’s.
Queen Camilla is seen in a white-and-beige coat dress by designer Anna Valentine, adorned with a lily-of-the-valley brooch, while the King is dressed in a blue pinstripe suit with a grey tie and silk handkerchief.
Set inside a dark red frame, the card carries the simple but warm message, “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.”
Here is the card:
The choice of their 20th wedding anniversary photo, taken as they combined personal milestone and royal duty during a state visit to Italy, adds emotional depth to this year’s festive greeting. It reflects not only their public roles but a private bond of two decades.
By sharing this image, Charles and Camilla offer a message of enduring partnership and unity, a symbolic reminder of love, togetherness, and continuity ahead of the family’s traditional Christmas gatherings.
Historically, the royal Christmas season includes a ceremony at church, a roast lunch at the King’s residence, and the monarch’s holiday broadcast.
For many observers, the card also underscores the couple’s resilience. Their marriage has spanned years of public scrutiny, personal challenges, and royal responsibilities and yet the photograph conveys warmth, solidarity, and calm confidence.
Official holiday cards from the royal family are sent out each year to friends, family, dignitaries, charities, and global partners.
