When you\u2019re the British royal family, your Christmas card mailing list isn\u2019t just family friends and neighbors\u2014it\u2019s an entire country. And now, thanks to social media, the whole world. So, some haphazard photo from a family vacation or college graduation? Not going to cut it.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, with a more than century-old tradition of sending out holiday cards, they\u2019ve got plenty of practice. Take 1914, when Princess Mary sent out a demure picture of herself alongside the message \u201cwith best wishes for a Happy Christmas and Victorious New Year,\u201d as a part of a gift tin for soldiers, or 1942, when the then-Princess Elizabeth sent out a card of herself in her wartime uniform. Fast forward 50 or so years, and there\u2019s a black and white photograph of an eye-liner heavy Princess Diana and her sons, William and Harry.<\/p>\n
Come 2024, the next generation of royals put their own spin on the time-honored tradition. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released a digital card with several photos, including one that shows their young family<\/a> in Montecito, California. Meanwhile, the Wales family shared a poignant family photo<\/a> originally taken during Kate Middleton’s emotional announcement<\/a> that she had completed chemotherapy.<\/p>\n Below, click through the history of British royal Christmas cards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.vogue.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you\u2019re the British royal family, your Christmas card mailing list isn\u2019t just family friends and neighbors\u2014it\u2019s an entire country.
