The image, taken last week, shows the King carrying out official government duties in the Eighteenth Century Room at Buckingham Palace. Red boxes contain papers from government ministers in the UK and the realms, as well as Commonwealth representatives. Documents are sent from the private secretary's office to the King, wherever he is around the world, in a locked, red despatch box. In September 2015, the royal family Facebook account said the Queen received red boxes every day of her reign, including weekends, but not on Christmas Day.
