King Charles III and Queen Camilla unveiled their 2024 Christmas card after a grueling year with the monarch’s cancer battle.
The royals were all smiles as they posed in the Gardens of Buckingham Palace for the photo taken in April, per the royal family’s Instagram.
Charles, 76, sported a gray suit, white button-up shirt and blue tie, while Camilla, 77, rocked a blue long-sleeve dress.

The couple’s season greetings come nine months after Buckingham Palace announced Charles had been diagnosed with cancer when he underwent a “routine hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement.”
At the time, his majesty had postponed public events as he completed regular treatments.

“He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
In April, Charles returned to his royal duties, kicking off his many public appearances by visiting a cancer treatment center to meet with patients and medical specialists.
