In the hand-signed cards, the message read: "This comes with warmest and good wishes for a very happy Christmas and a successful New Year, with immense appreciation for your tireless efforts, Charles." A happy recipient of the card tweeted a photo, along with the caption: "HRH Prince Charles just sent me a Christmas card for the work I have done for the Princes Trust this year. I think it is kind of cool."
