Princess Beatrice - Birthday Reply (2015)

A lovely reply arrived yesterday from the UK. I wrote to Princess Beatrice in early August for her 27th birthday.

It's a brief letter, which is very typical of the Yorks. The letter is signed by Prince Andrew's Assistant Private Secretary, James Upsher. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie don't have their own staff, so all their correspondences are dealt with by Prince Andrew's office, which is why the stationary features Prince Andrew's badge on the letter and envelope.


The letter reads: 
Buckingham Palace
24th September, 2015 
Dear Miss Daly,  
Princess Beatrice has asked me to thank you for your kind Birthday letter.  
Her Royal Highness sends her best wishes.  
Yours sincerely, 
James UpsherAssistant Private Secretary to The Duke of York 

The reply was written on September 24th, but wasn't mailed till the following week. The reply arrived 65 days (just over 2 months) after I had sent my letter. This is a pretty standard response time.
