Royal Fans Celebrate Princess Anne - Princess Anne’s 2025 Christmas card breaks tradition with a personal touch

Princess Anne’s 2025 Christmas card has drawn attention for its simplicity and personal touch. The design features a photo of her and Sir Timothy Laurence in a carriage, taken during a visit to Sark. Unlike some royals, she chose not to include her title—signing it simply as 'Anne'. The card carries a warm message: 'Wishing you a happy and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.' It was shared online by Queensland Governor Dr. Jeannette Young, though no official designer or editor was credited. The card’s understated design reflects Princess Anne’s long-standing preference for practicality over formality. By omitting her title, she reinforces a tradition of humility within the royal family. The response from experts and the public highlights a clear difference in how some royals present themselves.
