Prince Charles and Camilla's Christmas Card Celebrates Their Historic Trip to Cuba
Every December, the Queen and Prince Philip send out roughly 750 Christmas card. These messages of holiday cheer are addressed to friends, family, and members of the royal household, as well as world leaders including Prime Ministers of Commonwealth countries.
Over the years, Prince Charles has also started sending out notes to mark the Christmas season. And this morning, Clarence House revealed Charles and Camilla's 2019 card, which features a sweet photo of the happy couple from their historic trip to Cuba.
Back in March, the couple traveled to Cuba, as a part of a larger tour of the Caribbean, making the first official visit by a member of the royal family to the country.
The photo, which was taken in Havana by Ramon Espinosa, was first shared on Twitter this morning along with an image of the full card, which includes the message: "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year."
Here is this year’s official Christmas card from The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. 🎄

Charles and Camilla aren't the only ones sending out holiday greetings in 2019. Earlier this week, the Cambridge family's card leaked online, when a recipient of the message posted the message on Twitter. The Sussexes have yet to share their first holiday card as a family of three publicly.
While fans of the royal family can expect to see Charles and Camilla and Will and Kate walking to church on Christmas morning in Sandringham, the Sussexes won't be spending the holiday with the royal family this year.
"Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, their Royal Highnesses will spend the holidays this year, as a new family, with the Duchess' mother Doria Ragland," reads a statement made by a spokesperson for the couple earlier this year.
"This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the royal family, and has the support of Her Majesty the Queen."
