The King is one of the world's most instantly recognisable figures - so when it comes to the festive period, he has to send a shocking number of Christmas cards
As people who have travelled all over the world, King Charles and Queen Camilla have encountered hundreds of important world leaders and foreign diplomats who they regularly maintain contact with. So, when it comes to the festive season, Their Majesties have an unenviable list of people to send their Christmas greetings to.
While not yet updated to take into account King Charles' accession, the Royal Family website explains: "Each year, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh send around 750 Christmas Cards, which will usually feature a family photo. An annual Christmas card from the monarch is not the only gift royal staff get as they also receive a special token to thank them for their service. This tradition that the monarch follows was originally started by King Charles' great-grandfather, King George V, and carried on by his grandfather, King George VI.
For their card in 2023, King Charles and Queen Camilla chose a poignant Coronation Day photograph taken in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace by one of their favourite photographers, Hugo Burnand.
