Prince Edward (58) and Sophie von Wessex (57) commemorated Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), who died in September, in a touching way. This year’s Christmas card from King Charles III’s youngest brother. (74) and his wife adorns a picture this year in which Elizabeth II is smiling with a bouquet in her hand next to her son and Sophie of Wessex, who is also holding a bouquet in her hand. The photo was taken at Holyrood Palace in Scotland in June this year during the traditional Key Ceremony. It can be seen, among other things, in “People” magazine.
The inside of the royal Christmas card features a second, equally poignant image. It shows Queen Elizabeth II with her husband Prince Philip (1921-2021), who died in 2021, during a summer vacation in Scotland in 2003. The couple is sitting on the grass and the Queen smiles amiably at the camera. The picture was taken by Sophie von Wessex herself and is captioned with the moving words “In memory of happy days”.
