The 69-year-old royal and his 70-year-old wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, have taken to social media to share the imagery to accompany their festive wishes.

And the photograph, which captures a sweet photo of the couple - who married in 2005 - has been shared on the Clarence House social media sites.

In the picture Prince Charles can be seen sporting a smart, black tuxedo, with a crisp white shirt and black bow tie, while Camilla dons a glitzy gown.

And the card reads: "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year".

Clarence House tweeted an image of the card perched on a Christmas tree, which was captioned: "Here is this year's official Christmas card from The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. (sic)."

And the reason for the couple's glamorous attire is because the photo was taken earlier in the year when they attended Camilla's 70th birthday party.

The post continued: "The photograph was taken by Hugo Burnand at Highgrove in July during the private 70th Birthday party of The Duchess of Cornwall. (sic)."

Charles and Camilla's Christmas card comes shortly after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared their family greetings image.

An adorable image of Prince William, with his 35-year-old spouse - who is pregnant with their third baby - and their two children, Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte have been shared on the Kensington Palace's Instagram account.

The post read: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family. The image features on Their Royal Highnesses' Christmas card this year. The photograph shows The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their two children at Kensington Palace. It was taken earlier this year by @chrisjacksongetty (sic)."

The sweet picture captures the foursome co-coordinating in blue, as William, 35, dons a suit with a pale-blue tie to match Catherine's blazer and skirt ensemble, as well as George's pinstripe shirt and Charlotte's printed dress.
