LOVELY 1980 CHRISTMAS CARD OF PRINCE CHARLES WITH QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER

Item 2025 - A Christmas card for 1980, the opening cover with HRH The Prince of Wales crest, the interior with a printed color photo of HRH Prince Charles and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

If love was in the air, you wouldn’t know it from Charles’s Christmas card. The Prince featured his grandmother, the Queen Mother. That summer saw celebrations to mark her 80th birthday, and the heir apparent must have wondered if he would one day earn as much respect from the British public as she had earned. Meanwhile, he had yet to become involved with the little-known Lady Diana Spencer, who would for a while eclipse both of them.

The printed message with all good wishes for Christmas and the New Year, signed and with love and gratitude from Charles Hand signed. Not auto pen. $1,495.00
