Prince Charles & Duchess Camilla - Christmas Reply (2015)

Today, a reply arrived from the UK. I had written to Prince Charles & Duchess Camilla for Christmas. It looks a lot like the standard Cambridge/Harry reply; postcard-sized picture with a typed message on the back. This is the 2nd time, I've gotten this type of reply from Charles/Camilla. The first being Prince Charles's Birthday this past year.

For Prince Charles's previous birthday and Christmas, I received letters. However, I have seen photo reply like this that other people have received from them in the past, so this isn't a big change.

The photo is of Charles and Camilla at the service to mark the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, at St Paul's Cathedral on June 18, 2015. A little interesting they didn't choose to use the photo they had released for Christmas. It could be that photo was just for their private/personal Christmas card. And they wanted their public Christmas card to feature some of the work that they have done this year.

Interestingly, Prince Charles Birthday reply this year also featured him in uniform.

The message on the card is slightly different and longer than the Cambridges, but says basically the same thing.

The message says:

The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall would like to thank you so much for the kind message you sent at Christmas. It was very much appreciated by them.  

Their Royal Highnesses send you their warmest best wishes for a very Happy New Year. 

I want to apologize for the not so great quality of the front of the card. I think it is partly the printing of the card, and photoshopping. The printing caused it to be a little pixelated as well as have a stray line by Camilla's armrest and pillow behind her. They also blurred the background of the picture slightly, which gives everything sharpened a weird edge.
