Royal family’s Christmas cards for 2025

Many of Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie’s royal relatives have also released Christmas cards this year, as per royal custom.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were the first to kick off the tradition, selecting a photo of them taken during their trip to Rome earlier this year for their Christmas card.

Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ card features an adorable photo of them both cuddling with their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven. Many royal fans were particularly charmed by little Louis’ toothless grin.
