While the Royal Family are known for creating their own personal Christmas cards every year, many royal fans might not realise that they could be sent one to their home by completing one task
If you’re wondering who to send your last few Christmas cards to this year, people have just learned you can send them to members of the Royal family, who will make sure to send you one of their personal Christmas cards back.
Every year, each member of the Royal Family create their own Christmas cards, which often come with updated photos of the different members of the family, including young princes and princesses. For 2025, King Charles and Queen Camilla also took the opportunity to reflect on a major 2025 milestone as it included their 20th wedding anniversary portrait, which was taken to commemorate the royal milestone in April.
While the Royals often share photos of their Christmas card on their social media platforms, many royal fans might not realise that they could be the recipient of one of these cards by completing one simple task.
Taking to Instagram, one mum shared how receiving Christmas card from ‘a real life princess’ often is the yearly highlight for her as well as her young daughters.
And it works no matter where you are in the world, as long as you use the right postage, as even royal fans in the States have revealed they’ve gotten a Christmas card back.
Those in the UK will want to make sure they get cards in on time as well, to ensure they arrive before Christmas. The last posting date for 2nd Class mail this year is December 17, and for 1st Class it’s December 20, according to Royal Mail.
How to get a Christmas card from The Prince and Princess of Wales
Getting a Christmas card from Princess Catherine is a lot easier than you might expect, as all you need to do is send them a Christmas card with your return address written on it. The royal staff will then send you a Christmas card back in response, containing a pre-printed thank you message and a photo.
There’s no protocol you have to follow when writing in the card – simply wish them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year just as you would anyone else, or share a more meaningful message if you so want.
You could take the time to wish the Princess of Wales a happy early birthday, as she’ll be turning 44 shortly after Christmas, on January 9.
