Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall 2017 Christmas Card
Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall 2017 Christmas Card - Dec 2017
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall 2017 Christmas card in Clarence House, London. The picture on the card was taken by Hugo Burnand showing the royal couple in the Orchard Room during the private 70th birthday party of The Duchess of Cornwall at Highgrove on Saturday 15th July 2017.
Informative Caption tells me, "the picture on the card was taken by Hugo Burnand showing the royal couple in the Orchard Room during the private 70th birthday party of The Duchess of Cornwall at Highgrove on Saturday 15th July 2017." That's nice! My big note is that I feel like the kerning on the copy on this card is f'ed up, and it's weird that it's absolutely without punctuation. The entire British Royal Family perhaps just half-assed their cards this year. I feel them.

Prince Charles is offered sweet biscuits after a service of prayers by the Melkite Greek-Catholic community Prince Charles attends a prayer service at St. Barnabas Church, London, UK - 19 Dec 2017
Prince Charles is offered sweet biscuits after meeting families who have escaped persecution in the Middle East and participating in a service of prayers by the Melkite Greek-Catholic community.
And here, Informative Caption tells us, "Prince Charles is offered sweet biscuits after a service of prayers by the Melkite Greek-Catholic community...after meeting families who have escaped persecution in the Middle East." That is all very nice, and this photo is great. It looks like everyone is saying, "try MY cookie!" "No, try MY cookie!" I feel confident that everyone's wares were sampled.
