I was very excited when I spotted this envelope lying on my kitchen counter.
I could tell immediately from the front of the envelope that this letter was from Camilla. Not because there was a Monogram/Cypher on the front, but because Camilla is the only BRF I have ever gotten a larger sized envelope from or piece of mail sent by registered mail.
One interesting thing I noticed was the color of Camilla's monogram on the back of the envelope.
Last time, it was green and this time it was blue. The green monograms are letters sent from Birkhall. Birkhall is Charles and Camilla's residence in Scotland. The blue monogram is for letters sent from Clarence House, their official residence in London.
Camilla replies with the usual photo card, with a typed message on the back. Camilla's cards are a little extra special compared to the other birthday replies from Clarence House. This card is double the size of the typical Charles/Cambridges/Harry birthday replies.
On the front of the card, is a very lovely picture of Camilla at the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of the Arts on June 2nd. The picture was taken by Thomas Alexander. I especially love this photo, because we see Camilla making a rare tiara appearance, and wearing her Royal Victorian Order and her Royal Family Order.
The reply was sent 3 days after Camilla's birthday and took 8 days to arrive in the mail.
And to make it extra special, Camilla hand-signed the note, which is why this was sent by registered mail.
The message reads:
Dear Gertrude,
Thank you for remembering my birthday and for sending me such a lovely message.
With best wishes,
CamillaBack to Replies - Main Page
