Princess Eugenie & Jack Brooksbank - Wedding Anniversary Reply (2019)

A lovely reply arrived today from the UK. I had written to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank earlier this month to congratulation them on their 1st wedding anniversary.

The envelope is the usual from the British royals.

The back of the envelope features Prince Andrew's badge. 

The letter is the typical from Prince Andrew's office. This was written by Ms. Charlotte Fenn, who is one of Prince Andrew's Assistant Private Secretaries. Princess Beatrice & Princess Eugenie don’t have any of their own staff, but so their mail is answered by Andrew’s staff.

Pretty much everyone who wrote for this occasion got the same form letter. The letter is dated with the couple's wedding anniversary.

The letter reads:

Dear Miss Daly,  

Princess Eugenie of York and Mr. Jack Brooksbank have asked me to thank you for sending them your congratulations on their first Wedding Anniversary.  

They are very grateful to you for thinking of them and send you their best wishes.  

Yours sincerely, 

Ms. Charlotte Fenn 

Assistant Private Secretary of HRH Princess Eugenie of York

You will notice that the letter refers to Princess Eugenie as "of York." Most of the time, women after marriage drop their parent's territorial designation. And we have seen Buckingham Palace in general drop the "of York" from Princess Eugenie's name since the wedding. But, Prince Andrew's office still insists on using it, probably because it improves name recognition.
