King Felipe and Queen Letizia released their annual Official Christmas Card on December 16, 2024. The Spanish Royal Family's Christmas card features a photo of King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofía, taken in June during the events marking the 10th anniversary of King Felipe's accession to the throne.
The message inside reads: "Merry Christmas, and may we all face the New Year with greater confidence." The card also includes an excerpt from a poem by Francisco Brines, which translates into English as: "And I seek a face that reflects light, someone who, like me, though only holding death, also holds, as I once did, defying it, life."
Usually their outfits are good, but these outfits are not good.
ردحذفI actually think these outfits are pretty on point! While they might not be everyone's favorite, they have a unique charm and fit the characters’ personalities really well. Fashion is all about personal style, and these looks definitely stand out in their own way!
حذفWhat a beautiful poem.
ردحذفWhat a lovely colourful card with a sincere wish !!
ردحذفBizarre comme carte de vœux mais une tres jolie photo estivale
ردحذفFroufrou
Très belle carte de Noël très colorée !
ردحذفBeautiful family. I like all outfits. The poem sheds a light on the victims of the flood tragedy, handled by the royal family as a national tragedy, with all those families who lost loved ones. At least this is how I understand why they chose this one.
ردحذفBeautiful family…
ردحذفNice p[icture, nothing Christmas about it.
ردحذفWhy are you stating the obvious? It says above that this was taken during the events marking Felipe's accession to the throne. It was a most notable time for him and his family. It makes absolute sense to mark this occasion with their annual Christmas card. Christmas cards do not have to have phony winter scenes or be staged in front of a Christmas tree to be considered "Christmas cards." The message inside is more than adequate.
حذفChristmas can definitely mean different things to different people. I appreciate your perspective, even if we don't see it the same way.
حذفLeonor est très belle en rouge. Ils ont tous de beaux sourires. Paloma.
ردحذفThe photo is adequate for a card (but I could think of better photos of the family we've seen on these pages), the sentiment for facing the future is quite acceptable, but I think that the poem excerpt as translated into English is somewhat strange/odd for a festive card. Best wishes to the family for a Happy Christmas and New Year.

So how would you tell the people who lost family to have a happy and merry Christmas? They are all dressed very nicely
حذفI actually think the photo works well—it has a natural, authentic vibe that fits the sentiment of the card. As for the poem, I find it adds a unique touch, even if it’s a little different from the typical festive style. Sometimes, an unconventional choice can make a card feel more personal and memorable.
حذفThe poem is for the víctims of the floods, some people will not have festivities.
حذفI think the translation of the poem is not the best
حذفFrom my experience, translation of poems, whilst trying to keep the subtle and underlying message/s, can be very difficult.
حذفOften the original objective can be lost.
I think the card has been well chosen for this festive period.
No more little girls, but beautiful young women. Love this picture.

They are such a photogenic family! Beautiful photos. The royal young ladies are beautiful. The King and Queen are a lovely couple.
ردحذفThe Christmas card of the Spanish royal family ressembles the one of the Belgian royal family. At least they are signed by the king and queen. Royal families who have adult children must sometimes take a picture during Summer holidays when each member of the family is at home and which can be used to make a Christmas card. I suppose this was the case in both families. The Spanish royals as well as the Belgian royals have chosen colourful clothes to write down their wishes to the people.
ردحذفThat's a great observation! It’s true that many royal families, especially those with adult children, often take advantage of family gatherings during the holidays or summer vacations to capture a picture for their Christmas cards. It’s a lovely way to keep the tradition alive and maintain a connection with the public. As for the colorful clothes, it’s nice to see both the Spanish and Belgian royals embracing vibrant tones—these choices add a festive and personal touch to their holiday greetings, making them feel warm and approachable.
