It's ok. A bit disappointing it's not a bit more festive.

Royal Christmas cards are historically never festive though.

Wow that Charles & Diana one is incredible!

They'll still be sending oodles of cards - to the key people icw all their patronages and appointments; all their staff; other random bits of officialdom; foreign royals (at behest of FCDO, as soft diplomacy); everyone they've met this year etc

Yes Minister had an episode where Jim Hacker was faced with the official and semi-official Christmas card list, plus which staff could help with what.

They also send a card to anyone who wrote to them in the year. Can you imagine how many they are sending this year in particular.

It is abit boring. It'd be nice if it was at least taken during the colder seasons, not summer. Nothing about it says "this is a Christmas card".

It says, 'Love, family, happiness, togetherness' which are all elements that, for some, are the most important part of Christmas. It's fab.

bohnerific69 · 19/12/2024 20:58

@PigglyWigglyOhYeah meh, I disagree. It's a sweet photo of them but it's not Christmassy in any way!

Gall10 · 19/12/2024 21:04

How much of my tax was used to produce this?

Gall10 · 19/12/2024 21:05

ToomanyMilesAway · 19/12/2024 17:11

Did you want them to wear Santa hats?

Not if I have to pay for the hats as well.

arselicker · 19/12/2024 21:06

@wigsonthegreenandhatsforthelifting you have a bit of a cheek to accuse me of being a hateful person were you not the poster on the h & m thread saying Megan was a ugly child and making disparaging remarks about their children. Children that no one has actually seen. "I reckon you must be pretty hateful as a person ".

Well, as your tax payer contribution is about £1 per annum for the whole royal family, I imagine 'not much' is the answer.

Barleycat · 19/12/2024 21:07

Not very festive

Darling, Christmassy isn't classy.

Sidebeforeself · 19/12/2024 21:10

I was reading the other thread re H&Ms card and thought to myself that the Wales’ card would come from Catherines video…wish I’d posted my prediction on here!

StopStartStop · 19/12/2024 21:15

Lovely family photo/still from the video showing what really matters - family and love.
Notable for the way each face can be clearly seen and identified.

sparkleandshine7 · 19/12/2024 21:20

Not very Christmassy.

JADS · 19/12/2024 21:22

I would love it if one year they picked out the tackiest Christmas jumper and wore those. Or maybe matching double denim.

I know they won't. I don’t blame them using an image from something that's already out there. If they wanted to go more Christmassy, they could go with a picture from the carol concert and pose by the church tree. That would be a bit more festive.

The Charles and Di Ralph Lauren is amazing. Diana looks like a model, the camera really loved her.

CurlewKate · 19/12/2024 22:33

@wordler that's the one-thank you! Isn't it amazing?

CurlewKate · 19/12/2024 22:34

@PigglyWigglyOhYeah "Well, as your tax payer contribution is about £1 per annum for the whole royal family, I imagine 'not much' is the answer"

Always important to remember that does not include the cost of security....

Radishknot · 19/12/2024 22:35

I don’t like the angle, too much focus on foreheads!

Gorgeous! Smile Would have been nice if it had been more wintry though. Looks like a summer pic.

Radishknot · 19/12/2024 22:38

Wow, Diana looks really glamorous in that photo.

Indeed I was not that poster, so could you kindly retract that accusation????!!!

Maybe you should go and check out who that poster actually was, because it was NOT ME!

You owe me a huge fucking apology but I somehow can't see it forthcoming!!

Oh I see that photo now - from earlier. Yeah Diana looks great!

Does their Christmas card require its own security team? That's what we're talking about. Does it need escorting down Kensington High Street to do its shopping, or perhaps you think it needs monitoring as it visits the local farm shop?

Radishknot · 19/12/2024 22:41

@LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway was my post confusing? She looks like a model and she’s on a shoot.
