Prince Charles and Duchess Camilia releases their annual Christmas card for the year.
The couple pictured on their royal tour of the Caribbean in March, as the Prince drives a 1953 black MG TD at a British Classic Car event in Havana, Cuba. The printed card contained the message: “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.”
His love for cars was expressed after he arrived at the venue:
“The one I was driving is the most beautiful car. It has an incredibly powerful accelerator. It is incredibly close to the brake so you have to be careful you don’t press the wrong one.”
The royals have had a very engaging busy year with tours and official responsibilities. They were the first royal to visit Cuba on official assignment.
We also love their duo-power as they’ve both visited Barbados, St Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines. Not to mention their tour of New Zealand recently in November, the film premiere of 1917, the Queen’s reception for NATO leaders and the white-tie Diplomatic Corps reception. The couple also attended Her Majesty’s annual Christmas lunch on Wednesday at Buckingham Palace and are expected to join her in Sandringham over the festive period.
In 2020 they will be attending events leading up to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, with the Prince due to travel to Israel on 23 January and the Duchess set to visit Auschwitz on 27 January.
