King Charles's Health Highlighted in Christmas Card

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have released their 2024 Christmas card, featuring a photograph taken in the Buckingham Palace gardens by Millie Pilkington. The card shows the couple, dressed in coordinated blue outfits, standing side-by-side and smiling. This year’s informal photo marks a change from their previous formal portraits, reflecting a focus on family amid a challenging year of health issues for both Charles and Camilla. Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer following a procedure for benign prostate enlargement, while Camilla dealt with a chest infection. Despite these challenges, Charles resumed some royal duties by April, and the couple continues to engage in public appearances. The card's release emphasizes the bonds of family and adaptability of the monarchy in difficult times.
