I believe every man should dress with class. My father and uncles taught me how to dress and I really try to do it with class.

I agree, Camilla look pretty nice in her overcoat.

McKeen · #**623** 12-09-2012, 02:34 AM

I agree, they both look great.

I wonder what next year's Christmas card will look like?

Not my favourite Christmas Card of theirs; it's just like any other picture.
True, they look happy and it was an important event, but still.

It's a very nice photo of them, but if you're going to send Christmas cards with photos of yourself on them I think they should be photos taken specially for the Christmas card, showing some hint of Christmas. That's just my opinion, of course, and it's really not a big deal. Perhaps they think it's sensible to use a very nice one from the year's events rather than to waste money on having one specially done.

I too would have liked a Christmas theme - surely that could have edged the photo with Christmas lights or garlands of holy or something to give it the Christmas feel.

I suspect they were focussing on the jubilee theme this year for obvious reasons.

To each his own.... but....

Its a good photo but to me, can't beat the one year where they're laughing on a boat.

Dman · #**632** 12-14-2012, 03:10 PM

The card is okay, imo. Barbara Walters was showing her Christmas card from Charles & Camilla on The View today.

Dman · #**633** 12-14-2012, 03:11 PM

I wonder if they will have a picture of the baby on their card next year?

Dman · #**634** 12-14-2012, 03:15 PM

I hear William & Catherine also have a Christmas Card but they never release it to the public.

Maybe next year picture will be of proud grandparents at the babies Christening.

I really don't think it'll ever happen that Charles and Camilla pose with Baby Cambridge for a Christmas card. We have to remember that Camilla does have other grandchildren and from what I know of Camilla knowing how to handle and interact with children, I think she'd want to distance herself from seemingly playing favorites and pushing one child into the limelight over her other grandkids. If anything, the baby would be included in Will and Kate's card similar to what Victoria and Daniel did with Estelle.

Last years Christmas card was the picture of Charles and Camilla on BP balcony with Camilla's granddaughter who wasbridesmaid. The picture on the boat was the year before. So I wouldn't rule out a picture with new grandchild entirely

My initial reaction to the idea of Charles' grandchild being in Camilla & Charles' Christmas card photo was negative, in that I thought it unlikely because it would invite criticism from those who have never forgiven Camilla and would take the opportunity to dredge up the past and say that it should have been Diana in that photo. However they have previously used a pic which has Charles holding Andrew's grand-daughter, and I think that one is not only charming but demonstrates a very sensible and modern approach. This is a blended family which includes Camilla and her grandchildren, so I suppose it's quite possible that Baby Cambridge will feature with C&C in a future card.

Iluvbertie · #**639** 12-14-2012, 06:08 PM

A photo from the Christening would be ok I think, like the one from the wedding.

Andrew doesn't have a granddaughter. Do you mean Camilla's granddaughter - see post #637 above
