I had written to the King Willem-Alexander & Queen Máxima after they had visited the USA on a Official Royal Visit in early June. They were going to be visiting really close to me, so I had planned on go to see them. I ended up not being able to, but decided to write to them about their successful tour and some local media coverage.
This is the 1st time I had written to the Dutch Royals. I really like this reply. It looks different than other Royal letters.
The Envelope is one of those large, half sheet of paper sized envelopes with a window for the address (1st piece of Royal Mail I've gotten to have such). The envelope is your normal business mail thickness and quality, which is why I almost thought was a bill at first and set it aside.
Like with other Foreign Mail, the envelope is written in the country's native language, Dutch. It features the Royal Monogram on the front of the Envelope. The message under the Blue Crown reads Dienst Van Het Koninklijk Huis (Bureau of the Royal Household).
The reply was sent by Priority Mail on July 2nd and arrived 5 days latter, about a month after I sent my letter.
The Letter is on a full sheet of printed stationary. It has a embossed coat of arms on the upper right hand corner (You can't really tell in this picture). The letter was written by the Deputy Principal Secretary to the King and Queen, F. L. Manche, who hand-signed the Letter.

The letter says:
Dear Mrs. Daly,
Thank you for your letter, that you were so kind to send to His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands after the Royal visit to the United State of American last month.
Your kind gesture is very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
(F.L. Manche)
Deputy Principal Secretary to
His Majesty the King and
Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands.
