Like many of us, King Charles and Queen Camilla chose a photo from a big family celebration for their 2023 holiday card.

“From our family to yours, on behalf of our teams at The Archewell Foundation, Archewell Audio, and Archewell Productions, we wish you health, peace, and a very happy new year!” the Sussexes wrote.
