Hereditary Prince Alois & Hereditary Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein - Christmas Reply (2018)

A lovely reply arrived yesterday from Liechtenstein. This is my very first reply for Christmas 2018!

The envelope is the usual from the Liechtenstein Royals and features a Christmas 2018 postmark and stamp.


The back of the envelope features the address for Vaduz Castle, the Liechtenstein Royal's home.


Inside is the Liechtenstein Royal's usual reply. The reply features an embossed coat of arms at the top and lovely textured edges. 



The card is written in German and reads: 
Blessed Christmas and all the best in the New Year.
Sophie Liechtenstein Alois Liechtenstein 

Over the years, I've been conflicted about whether or not the Lichtenstein Royals' signatures are real. I've definitely gotten a number of different versions of the different royals signatures. But when comparing this reply with the Christmas reply from 2017 & 2016, it is obvious the signature is printed on. 


I think they might do a mixture of printed on and real signatures. The printed on signatures are in this thicker blue, and the real signatures are from something that looks more like a pen. (See Hereditary Princess Sophie's 2018 Birthday Reply)
