Prince Harry's Birthday Reply (2014)

This reply is for the very first letter I ever wrote Prince Harry, for his 30th Birthday in 2014. Since I didn't start blogging till 2015, this reply never got its own blog post.

The envelope is the usual for the British Royals.



The back of the envelope features Prince Harry's blue monogram. Back then, whenever you wrote to Harry, William or Kate, you would get a reply with their monogram on it. The Correspondence Section at Clarence House switched to a more generic "Kensington Palace" with Black Crown stationary in 2016, to use for all 3 royals. This was likely a cost-cutting/ time-saving measure.



The Cambridges & Sussexs still have their own solo monogram stationery, which they use for more official or personal things.

Inside was the typical photo card from Clarence House. The front features a photo by Chris Jackson, from the Jaguar Landrover Driving Challenge, ahead of the 2014 Invictus Games.


The back of the card features the usual sort of message. I especially like that they included which birthday it is.


The card reads: 
Prince Harry was touched you took the trouble to write as you did on the occasion of his 30th birthday. It really was most thoughtful of you and His Royal Highness sends you his warmest thanks and best wishes.
