URGENT UPDATE: Princess Anne has made headlines after her 2025 Christmas card, shared by the Governor of Queensland’s office on Instagram, surprisingly lacks her royal title. Fans are buzzing over the simplicity of her signature, which reads “from Anne and Tim,” referring to Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.
The card features a heartfelt message: “With Best Wishes for a Happy and Peaceful Christmas and New Year.” The accompanying photo captures the couple traveling by carriage during their visit to Sark in the Channel Islands in May 2025.
The absence of her formal title, “The Princess Royal,” has left many royal enthusiasts in disbelief. One user remarked, “What? She didn’t sign it ‘The Princess Royal’? Of course not, she’s too classy for that.” Another added, “No need to blow the trumpet with the princess title and yet impactful. I like it!”
Comments on social media reflect a deep admiration for the royal couple’s down-to-earth approach. One user praised the card’s beauty, noting, “Such a lovely photo of them both. Love that Tim’s name is also on the card. Wishing them both a Merry and Peaceful Christmas!”
Furthermore, many fans appreciated Anne’s choice to forgo pomp, with one comment stating, “The Princess Royal doesn’t need anyone to pompously announce her arrival.” Another user expressed respect for Anne, highlighting her loyalty and work ethic.
The Instagram post also showcased Anne’s royal monogram, a coronet over the letter “A.” Known for her relentless dedication to royal duties, Princess Anne has earned the reputation of being the hardest-working member of the royal family, as evidenced by the official engagements recorded in The Court Circular.
Interestingly, King Charles and Queen Camilla have also chosen not to include royal titles in their Christmas card this year, which features a photograph taken to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. However, their card has faced criticism for not presenting a typical festive image.
As social media reactions continue to pour in, Princess Anne’s Christmas card showcases her unique style and reinforces her commitment to authenticity, resonating deeply with royal fans around the globe.
