A very lovely piece of Royal Mail arrived today from the UK!
Receiving Prince George's birthday reply always makes me very happy. I sent my very first royal letter 4 years ago, for George's 1st birthday. So it's exciting to be entering my 4 years of letter writing.
The reply is typical of what we see for Prince George's birthday. It is a photo card with a typed message on the back.
The photo was taken by Andrew Milligan, a UK photographer. The Cambridge also used photos from their 2016 Canada Tour for their Christmas & Duchess Kate's Birthday reply this past year.
The message on the back of the card is slightly different than the one we saw for Prince George's birthday the last 3 years. It's always nice to see them change it up a bit.
The card says:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thank you for the message you so kindly sent to Prince George on the occasion of his fourth birthday.It was most thoughtful of you and greatly appreciated.
Accompanying the card was a letter from Claudia Spens, head of the Correspondence Section at Clarence House. Given that the Cambridges were in the middle of their Poland & Germany Tour when I wrote, I had obviously mentioned that a good bit in my letter for George's birthday.
The letter says:
Dear Miss Daly,
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked me to thank you for your letter of 19th July in which you wrote about Their Royal Highnesses recent visit to Poland and Germany.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed their tour of Poland and Germany, and were overwhelmed by the wonderful welcome and warm reception they received.
Their Royal Highnesses were immensely touched that you should take the trouble to write on the occasion or Prince George's 4th Birthday. It really was most thoughtful of you and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked me to send you the enclosed special picture along with their warmest thanks and best wishes.
Your sincerely,Claudia Spens
