The King and Queen have released their Christmas card for this year, featuring a portrait of the royal couple arm in arm as they celebrated their 20th anniversary.
The photograph was taken earlier this year as the couple visited Villa Wolkonsky, the British ambassador’s residence in Rome, Italy.
It is framed inside the card by a dark red border, with the printed message in a matching colour on the opposite side reading “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year”.
Charles and Camilla’s wedding anniversary on 9 April came on the same day they met Pope Francis, who died less than two weeks later at the age of 88.
In the image, taken by royal photographer Chris Jackson, Camilla is wearing a white and beige coat dress by Anna Valentine and a lily of the valley brooch, while the King is dressed in a blue pinstripe suit with a grey tie and a silk handkerchief in his chest pocket.
