For the first time in his role as King, Charles has released a Christmas card, sharing a photo of himself with Camilla, Queen Consort, taken just a few days before the death of the Queen.
As the new monarch looks ahead, Camilla is seen smiling at Charles during the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering on September 8.
Released by the Palace and taken by award-winning photographer Samir Hussein, the pair look fittingly festive with Charles sporting a red and green tie and Camilla in the same yuletide shades in her jacket, its lapels and what appear to be feathers in her matching hat.
The pair, then still titled Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, attended the Highland Gathering event to celebrate traditional Scottish dance and music and watch competitors take part in events such as the hammer throw, caber toss and a tug-of-war.
