Royal families, news: from greeting cards to Kate Middleton star of the Royal Carol. PHOTO

The week of the royals of Europe has been punctuated by the publication of the images of the Christmas cards which, from the palaces, are already reaching special destinations inside and outside the kingdom. First postcard as a sovereign for King Charles III and his queen consort Camilla who, for this occasion, chose a photo of Sam Hussein from last September, not at all Christmassy. Behind the choice of the portrait (already much criticized), perhaps the position of the new king in terms of religion. Elizabeth II’s heir has declared himself a defender of all faiths

In Spain, instead, it is Leonor and Sofia, respectively the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta, who wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The daughters of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia Ortiz were portrayed embracing in the gardens of the Zarzuela, a pose that demonstrates the very strong bond that unites them despite now living apart since Leonor began her studies in the United Kingdom
