It was a groundbreaking visit and now it’s been picked by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to celebrate the turn of the year. The Christmas card being sent by Charles and Camilla this season features a photo of them taken during their historic trip to Cuba.
The couple became the first members of the British Royal Family to visit the island in March 2019. They spent five days in Cuba as part of their tour of the Caribbean.
Now they are marking the importance of the trip by including an image of it on their Christmas card. The photo shows the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall driving through Havana in a vintage MG car. It was taken by Ramon Espinosa.

And they clearly enjoyed every moment of it. The photo they’ve picked shows Charles happily taking the wheel while Camilla smiles and waves alongside him.
The card was released as the Royal Family get ready for their Christmas celebrations at Sandringham. The Queen arrived at her Norfolk residence on Friday afternoon after taking the train from London. Soon afterwards, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Duke of Edinburgh had earlier made the trip to the capital for hospital treatment. The statement said that Prince Philip had been admitted as a precautionary measure and that he was being treated and observed by doctors for a ”pre-existing condition”.
It’s not clear how long Prince Philip will stay in hospital. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will be joining the Queen at Sandringham in the coming days.
