Wow, George is growing up fast. They all look good, although greyscale is an odd choice for a Christmas card.

The Dutch royal family is the most beautiful, hands down.
The twins look cute in their picture.
Kate doesn't look like Kate in their photo, and their kids look old as heck! My daughter is around Louis' age but he looks significantly more mature.
I want to know, who gets royal holiday cards? Do citizens get them?

Hardest working royals of 2023 revealed
Princess Anne tops list with more than 450 engagements with the King also increasing his time spent at public events
Princess Anne was the hardest working royal this year, carrying out 457 engagements as she lent steadfast support to her brother in his role as monarch.
The King was ranked in second place, having taken part in 425 royal engagements, while his brother the Duke of Edinburgh was third, with 297 engagements.
The Queen (Camila not Elizabeth)was fourth with 233 royal engagements and the Duchess of Edinburgh fifth with 219.
An analysis by The Telegraph of public events and official meetings based on entries published in the Court Circular showed that the Princess Royal continued to be the most industrious member of the family.
Princess Anne and the King were among members of the Royal family to increase their workload over the past year, after taking on many of the duties and engagements previously conducted by the late Queen Elizabeth.
A separate analysis last year by Reboot SEO company showed that Princess Anne carried out 214 royal engagements, while the King took part in 181.
In a typical average week this year, Princess Anne undertook between 12 and 14 engagements.
Her busiest month was February, when the Princess Royal undertook 57 engagements, which included trips to Australia and New Zealand.
Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator and former editor of The International Who’s Who said: “Anne is one of the best advertisements for the Royal family because she is hardworking, she is dedicated and she is popular because people look at the way she handles things and they like it.
“The public see Anne as someone who is grounded, I think the institution does need her very much.”
The Court Circular shows that over the past 12 months both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Gloucester carried out 172 royal engagements each.
The Princess of Wales undertook 128 and the Duchess of Gloucester 111. The Duke of Kent carried out 69 engagements.

I know it's mostly just ribbon cuttings and photo ops but damn 457 engagements is a lot. At least one a day and then some.
Just thinking about that exhausts this introvert.

Pretty sure it includes zoom calls and such. I'm not saying she's not working hard for a royal but let's not exaggerate and assume it's equivalent to a really demanding full time job like us commoners have, or that she's some kind of workaholic. and if she is it's probably because she doesn't have anything better to do with her time.
