Royal Christmas cards 2025

[wordler]

Thought it might be nice to have one lighthearted thread in the topic!

Feel free to update with any as they are released.

King Charles and Queen Camilla

Princess Anne and Tim Laurence

Ooh I love a good Christmas card!

Here’s Albert, Charlene, Jacques and Gabriella (and Harley the chihuahua) of Monaco.

I actually think it’s a lovely photo!

lol I didn’t notice the dog before!

A nice one. That Fireplace is dreamy!
My flat is cold😄

They’re never Christmassy! I wanna see William and Co in Santa hats and having Xmas fun!

My two pence worth:

I’m not a fan of Charles and Camilla’s card. The background and pose are boring, and the bright, summery feel doesn’t suit a Christmas greeting at all. Camilla’s pale outfit especially stands out as seasonally mismatched.

Anne and Tim’s is a little better. There’s a sweet, old fashioned charm to it, and the carriage and clothing make it feel more seasonally appropriate if not actually Christmassy.

I absolutely love the Monaco family’s card. Creating a Christmas photo that looks both festive and elegant is difficult, but they’ve struck the perfect balance. The decorations are lovely and their outfits are fantastic. And I always have a soft spot for a family pet.

I hope they at least take a photo under the Christmas tree, like they did at the state banquet.

I wonder if the Sussexes will release another corporate style card so they don’t have to show their children’s faces again. Their family card last year was kept private, wasn’t it? Apart from that one time it was glimpsed in the background of Gloria Steinem’s photograph.

I absolutely love Kate’s dress in that photo.

Me too & PW looks very regal & handsome here. PW also looks a bit like James Middleton.

I love that photo of Kate and Wills. The slightly looking down on us all helps elevate it from all the usual high angled dross the hoi polloi use.

You would have thought the PofW could crack a smile! There MUST have been better pictures than that…

I also love the gloomy tree with the Woolworths plastic star on the top!

Past cards for reference. Anne did a carriage ride for her card last year too!

Imagine if he had. You could have got stuck in with, 'Look at him, sneering at us commoners.' Do you feel cheated?

Let's not bicker! It would be nice to keep this in the Christmas spirit. 🍷

😂

So which is it then? They’re common enough to buy plastic decorations from Woolworths, or they’re sneering at the rest of us hoi polloi?
Pick a lane and stay in it, darling. Your bias is showing 🫣🤣

They usually have summer picture of them all on their xmas card

The one of the King and Queen I think was part of their 20th anniversary photoshoot, when they were on their Italian trip. So it probably has special significance for them.

This is the 'official' card - they might well have something more informal for close friends and family.

I think this photo is timeless. You could pick any year from the last 50 say, and could believe that was when it was taken.

I'm just commenting on the card itself. Can both things not be true at once?

I think it's a fab card. Great dress, he looks regal and a cheap looking star. Something for everyone.

I was thinking god I do wish he'd get rid of that ghastly face fungus, it's so scruffy.

Poor Kate having to snuggle up to that Brillo pad!

Hmm, some nice pics, but I never understand why famous people/Royals have to send a Christmas card with their own picture on it/their own family.

If anyone else (not famous) does that, they get the shit ripped out of them! 😆

Nice pics though. Kate and Wills look good. Like a pp, I love her blue dress.

And looking down on the hoi polloi?

Yeah, you’re being very transparent. But you do you 😉
