Okay, so, I got really into this whole “royal Christmas cards” thing this year. I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of royal watching, right? I wanted to see what kind of cards the British royal family was sending out in 2023, especially after the Coronation and all that pomp and circumstance.

First, I scoured the internet for any news about the cards. I found a few articles talking about Prince William and Princess Kate’s family card. It was a pretty simple black and white photo, but very classy. They were all dressed in white shirts and jeans, giving off a relaxed, family vibe. I guess they’re trying to be relatable, you know?
The Prince and Princess of Wales
- I learned that the Prince and Princess of Wales usually release their card in early December.
- This year’s card was particularly significant because it was their first as the Prince and Princess of Wales.
- Took a picture for their first Christmas Card since becoming the new Prince and Princess of Wales.
Then, I stumbled upon some older royal Christmas cards. It was cool to see how the tradition has evolved. Some were super formal, with everyone in their royal best, while others were more casual. I even found some from way back, before color photography was a thing. It’s like a little time capsule of royal history. I made some notes. It was really fun.
I also checked out Pinterest for some Christmas card inspiration. People are so creative! I saw all sorts of handmade card ideas, from simple and elegant to totally over-the-top. It made me want to try making my own cards next year. Maybe I’ll even take some inspiration from the royal cards. I tried to make some but not perfect.
Overall, it was a fun little project. I learned a lot about the royal family’s Christmas traditions and got some cool ideas for my own holiday cards. It’s always interesting to see how the other half lives, even if it’s just through their Christmas cards!
