I had written to Prince Albert of Monaco earlier this month for his 59th Birthday. This lovely reply came in the mail today.
Their normal envelope, with Prince Albert's Red A Monogram on the back. The Postmark is for the annual "Printemps des arts de Monte-Carlo" (Monte-Carlo Art Festival) which runs March 17- April 8th this year.The card is similar to the previous years, although the message is changed slightly as they always do. Again this year the message is just in English. I assume they have a separate French reply. I'm not sure why they stopped making his Birthday card bi-lingual. Charlene and the Twins thank you birthday cards have remained bi-lingual.
The date, March 14th, 2017 is Prince Albert's Birthday. The signature is auto-penned.
The Card says:
The kind wishes received on the occasion of my birthday really touched me and I would like to thank you warmly.Albert de Monaco
