Prince Charles & Duchess Camilla - Christmas Reply (2017)

A reply arrived today from the UK for the Christmas Letter I send Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla. The reply is same as their previous Christmas replies: a postcard-sized photo with typed message on the back.

The photo is from the couple's Tour of Europe in March/April. The photo was taken on March 31st in Italy by Alessandra Benedetti. Benedetti is an Italian-Hungarian photographer based in Italy. The Royals always love to use a photo from one of their tours for their replies. But it is especially lovely that they chose to feature a local photographer.


The photo is from the couple's first Day in Italy. They are posing on the historic Ponte Santa Trìnita (Holy Trinity Bridge), in Florence.

The message on the back has slightly different wording from previous years.


The card reads: 
The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall would like to thank you so much for the kind Christmas message which was greatly appreciated by them.  
Their Royal Highnesses send you their warmest best wishes for a very Happy New Year.
