Princess Anne's Christmas Card Revealed—and There's a Hidden Surprise on the Back

Christmas has finally arrived, but for the British royal family, they've been preparing for the big event for weeks. Prince Louis turned heads at Kate Middleton's annual Christmas concert (where she donned her Christmas coat). King Charles shared a touching Advent message. And, of course, the royals sent out their Christmas cards.

One such card came from the hardest working royal, Princess Anne herself.

Earlier this month, the Governor of Queensland, Australia, posted a photo of Princess Anne's Christmas card on social media—and it came with a fun surprise on the back.

The holiday card shows a sweet image of Princess Anne riding in a carriage with her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence. The accompanying message reads, "With Best Wishes for a Happy and Peaceful Christmas and New Year." The card is signed, "from Anne and Tim." I love the personal touch.

But that's not all. The second slide in the post shows the back of the card with a hidden surprise: Princess Anne's monogram.

The Queensland Governor captioned her post, "The arrival of a special Christmas card from The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence has set a festive tone at Government House."

Princess Anne wasn't the only royal to send out a Christmas card this year. In fact, her brother, the king, sent one out as well (though I noticed something super strange about his).

The inscription of the king's card reads, "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year."

The unsigned card came with the caption, "It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The King and Queen are pleased to share this year’s Christmas card, featuring a photograph taken in the grounds of Villa Wolkonsky in Rome during Their Majesties’ State Visit to The Republic of Italy in April."

Here's hoping the royals take a well-deserved break after such a busy December.
