The front of the envelope is the usual from the British Royals and features the red EIIR postmark from the Court Post Office at Buckingham Palace.

This is the 3rd version of the Sussexes envelope since I started writing in 2014. You can learn more about the evolution of the Sussexes' Replies here.
The reply is the usual photo card from Clarence House. The front features a lovely photo taken by Chris Allerton at Windsor Castle after Archie's christening.
The back of the card features a typed message.
The back of the card says:
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been overwhelmed by all of the incredibly kind cards and letters they have received on the occasion of Archie's Christening, and are so touched that you took the trouble to write as you did.
It really was most thoughtful of you and greatly appreciated by Their Royal Highnesses who send you their very best wishes.
Clarence House has changed it polity about what events they reply for:
"[Their Royal Highnesses] greatly appreciate all the messages that are sent in celebration of special events. However, with limited resources available to handle the growing volume of cards that they receive, Their Royal Highnesses will now focus on responding to a select number of these occasions such as Christmas, birthdays and select anniversaries."
- Claudia Spens, Head of the Correspondence Section
(via letter to British_RoyalReplies)So, basically, Clarence House has decided to stop sending out replies for all the small, insignificant things some people write for. They will continue to send replies out for Birthdays, Christmas and other important events.
