KING CHARLES III & QUEEN CONSORT CAMILLA Signed Christmas Card PSA Auto

Title:
Royal Christmas Card Signed by King Charles III and Queen Camilla – PSA Certified

Description:
Offered here is an official Christmas and New Year greeting card personally signed by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, addressed to a recipient named Barbara. The interior message reads:

"Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year"

Beneath this greeting, it is signed in black ink, “Charles” and “Camilla,” with an additional handwritten personalization by King Charles: “Barbara” and “love” above the signatures.

On the facing page is a color photograph of Charles and Camilla holding umbrellas beside the royal vessel Duchess of Cornwall, surrounded by a red border.

The exterior of the card features embossed golden royal cyphers: the Prince of Wales’s feathers for Charles and the crowned “C” monogram for Camilla.

Accompanying the card is the original Royal Mail special delivery envelope addressed to Mrs. Barbara Rich at her residence in Leicestershire, postmarked Buckingham Palace, 17 December 2008.

Historical Context:
In December 2008, Charles held the title of Prince of Wales, and Camilla was known as the Duchess of Cornwall, following their marriage in 2005. At this time, they were actively undertaking royal duties across the UK and abroad, often highlighting charitable work, education, and environmental causes.

This Christmas card represents the personal side of their public roles—maintaining correspondence and goodwill with acquaintances, colleagues, or members of the extended royal household during the holiday season. The inclusion of a signed message and personalized salutation adds a deeply human touch to this royal artifact.

Charles would ascend the throne as King Charles III following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, with Camilla becoming Queen Consort, later formally recognized as Queen Camilla.

Authentication & Encapsulation:
This signed card has been certified authentic by PSA/DNA with certification number AO09680. The signatures were carefully examined for pen pressure, slant, flow, and size, and were deemed consistent with other verified examples. PSA's Letter of Authenticity accompanies the item, and a tamper-evident certification sticker has been affixed.

Closing Appeal:
Royalty-signed items—particularly dual-signed examples from both a reigning monarch and queen—are exceedingly rare and highly desirable among collectors. This 2008 Christmas card captures a personal and ceremonial moment from King Charles III and Queen Camilla's life during their tenure as Prince and Duchess. Elegantly presented with verifiable provenance and official PSA certification, it is a historically rich and collectible piece of modern British royal heritage.
