Re: ROYAL CHRISTMAS CARDS, 2022 AND BEFORE

I think it's kind of nice to sort of rotate around casual, formal, Christmassy, vacation-y, playful, serious. They'll be sending these photo cards forever so they have to mix it up.

Gotta say, I love the fireworks card best. It has an artistic quality I like.

@Oznell I don't have a problem with it. I prefer it to "theme pictures". This is a a beautiful natural picture. I'm not a fan of families who dress up for a "theme" picture. I understand some people wanted a more "formal" attire for everyone but to me those always come across as uncomfortable and stuffy for the kids and not really enjoyable. But I know to some a picture of everyone all dressed up would have been a better representation of a "royal holiday" card. I think it's a happy family picture and to me happy represents holiday. It's a time for those kids to not be royal...

To me it is sending good wishes to all from their family during their religious holiday, while being mindful that they are sending to the world and Commonwealth in particular greetings during their religious season's celebration.

It is forward thinking, neutral and inclusive in today's world and I think that respect for others is probably a huge message.

I heard they decided this year's card should be low-key. Last year's card, when they all wore crowns, didn't go over so well.

I like them all but my preference is the informal ones. Most of the photo Christmas cards I receive is even in summer wear when the families all came together for an event of some sort. Regardless of dressy or down it is the thought and love that comes across to the receiver of the card.

I'd scrach Harry from the cards.

There are many who do not celebrate Christmas in the UK so the lack of Christmas color is understandable. I like the 1914 because of the message.

I do like the black & white & fireworks as it is celebratory
