Royal Christmas wishes 2023: candles, velvet dresses and a ‘lost’ finger

It’s December! And that means, among other things, royal Christmas cards, released photos, fun videos and a missing (?) finger. In this blog we list them for you.

So you will see this blog regularly this month, which means that new wishes have been added.

Britain

Let’s start with the most talked about card of this year. In the snapshot of William and Catherine’s family, it looks as if Prince Louis is missing a finger. Could the little prince’s fingers be that flexible or is this a case of over-enthusiastic photoshop?

The card of King Charles and Camilla shows a photo of the coronation.

Denmark

Crown Prince Frederik lights the Advent candles for the 2nd Sunday of Advent.

Spain

King Felipe and Queen Letizia’s Christmas card features a photo taken during Leonor’s birthday.
