LONDON: A photograph of Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla newly crowned in Buckingham Palace after their coronation has been chosen for the royal couple's Christmas card, Buckingham Palace said on Saturday.

Charles is pictured wearing the Imperial State Crown, Robe of Estate and Coronation Tunic, while Camilla wears Queen Mary's Crown, Robe of Estate and a dress designed by Bruce Oldfield.
The photograph was taken by Hugo Burnand in the Throne Room, the palace said.
Charles' son Prince William also released his family's Christmas card for 2023 on Saturday, with the prince of Wales opting for a black and white photo with his wife Princess Kate and their three children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte. — REUTERS
