Christmas is approaching quickly, and in recent weeks, stars and celebrities have eagerly shared their holiday preparations online. We could admire Christmas trees as early as the beginning of November. The British royal family has also embraced this festive atmosphere. It's no secret that for the royals, this is a time full of various traditions and customs.

The British royal family has upheld the tradition of sending Christmas cards to relatives, palace employees, and even distinguished subjects for their societal contributions for years. Apparently, each year, Queen Elizabeth II sent as many as 800 special and personalized postcards. Of course, Charles III and his sons continue this tradition today. The cards also appear online, generating a lot of excitement.

Recently, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared a Christmas card with several photographs on their foundation's website. Prince William did the same last Thursday. The heir to the throne appeared on a special postcard with Princess Kate and Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The post quickly filled with comments featuring compliments and well-wishes. Online users appreciated, among other things, the fact that the photo used for the card was not created using the especially trendy artificial intelligence of recent times.
