Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla

The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall's card will bring back fun memories for royals fans! It features a lovely image of them riding in a classic car during their trip to Cuba in March. The pair drove the MG to one of their engagements there. Their trip marked the first time any members of the Royal Family had visited the communist country.
