A look back at the royal Christmas cards, from 1914 to the MeghanMarkle era.
For decades, the royal Christmas card has been a holiday tradition in the British royal family. The cards, which date back before Queen Elizabeth II’s childhood, have been around for more than 100 years, and as the royal family grows , their Christmas notes only become more and more festive.
It’s reported that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip send 750 to 800 Christmas cards each year. Philip also reportedly sends another 200 cards to various organizations the royal family is close to. And don’t expect each card to have a generic message either. According to Reader’s Digest, the Queen starts signing her cards in the summer, so she can have them ready by the time the holidays roll around.
If that isn’t reason enough to believe that the British royal family is serious about their holidays, we don’t know what is. See the evolution of the royal family Christmas card, from the early 1900s to the Meghan Markle era, ahead.One of the first royal Christmas cards was in 1914. The post featured King George V and Queen Mary with a handwritten message about troops in the United Kingdom during the first year of World War I.Two royal families sent separate Christmas cards in 1978.
