The envelope is the usual for the British Royals, featuring the red EIIR postmark from the Court Post Office at Buckingham Palace.
The back of the envelope features the Black Crown, Kensington Palace mark that is used by The Cambridges & Sussexs. This crown also appears on William, Kate, Harry & Meghan's monogram.
Inside is the usual birthday reply from Clarence House, a postcard size photo card with typed message on the back.
The photo was taken during the Sussex's visit to Trinity College in Dublin during their 2-day visit to the Republic of Ireland in July. This is a very interesting choice for Meghan's birthday photo. Normally for birthdays, we get a solo headshot or full body photo of the royal. (The only time I've gotten a group photo from Clarence House for a royal's birthday was Prince George's 1st & 2nd birthday.)

The message is the typical for the Royals.
The message reads:
"The Duchess of Sussex is so touched you took the trouble to write as you did on the occasion of her 37th birthday. It really was most thoughtful of you and Her Royal Highness sends you her heartfelt thanks and best wishes."

Do you think it means anything that there is 'yesterday' instead of 'warmest thanks' like they always use?

DeleteThey like to change the messages up a little bit. I don't think of this as being a big deal, or anything to do specifically with Meghan.
DeleteDo you know how long do they use the same picture on their photocard?
ReplyDeleteThey don't have a set pattern. Sometimes they just use a photo once, other times they use it for a while. I know Harry once used the same photo for 2 birthdays and 2 christmases in a row.
