King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have shared their 2022 Christmas card, which features a poignant photo taken days before the death of Queen Elizabeth in September.
December 11, 2022 - 22:01 GMT Nichola Murphy King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have shared their 2022 Christmas card, which features a subtle tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth.
In the snap, taken by Sam Hussein, the royals could be seen dressed in coordinating red and green outfits at the Braemar Games on 3 September 2022, five days before the death of Her Majesty. Camilla opted for a forest midi coat with a contrasting red trim and buttons, which she teamed with brown knee-high boots, while her husband's tartan kilt and red socks were a nod to the Scottish games.
Scotland was thought to be one of the monarch's favourite places, and it is where she spent numerous summers enjoying long walks, barbecues and games – including the Braemar Games. The event was cancelled for two years in a row due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, so it's likely that the Queen was disappointed to miss out on attending once again.
As King Charles marks his first Christmas as monarch this year, he is keeping his late mother in his thoughts by choosing to continue the Queen's traditional royal gathering at Sandringham.Make sure you never miss a ROYAL story!
