POMP and ceremony, and the informality of family life take centre stage in contrasting royal Christmas cards this year.

Royal house of cards

In what has become tradition, the King and Queen, and the Prince and Princess of Wales have revealed the photos they have chosen for their festive greetings.

For his second Christmas as monarch, Charles picked an image of him and Camilla just after the Coronation in May.

It shows the couple standing side by side, with Charles wearing the Imperial State Crown and Camilla wearing Queen Mary's Crown, in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace.

The King also has on the purple silk velvet and gold embroidered His Majesty's Robe of Estate - worn by King George VI in 1937 and Coronation Tunic.

The Queen has on Her Majesty's Robe of Estate, designed and hand embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework, and the Coronation dress designed by Bruce Oldfield. The image was taken on their return by carriage from the service at Westminster Abbey.
