A lovely reply arrived last week from the UK. I had written to Prince William and Prince George for their birthday. I don't remember if I had written for both birthdays in one letter, or sent separate letters.
The envelope is the usual for the British Royals, featuring the postmark from the Court Post office at Buckingham Palace.
The back of the envelope is the usual from The Cambridges, featuring a black crown (technically the coronet of the child of the Prince of Wales) over Kensington Palace.
The front of the card features a photo of Prince William taken by Norman Jean Roy for the July 2017 cover of British GQ. This photo has been used on William's birthday reply for the last 4 birthdays.
The back of the card has a typed message. The message is identical to last year's birthday reply except for William's age.
The card says:
The Duke of Cambridge is most grateful to you for writing as you did on the occasion of his 38th birthday. It really was most thoughtful of you and His Royal Highness sends you his warmest thanks and best wishes.
Prince George's card features a photo taken by Duchess Kate on the front. This was part of the set of photos released for Prince George's birthday.
The card says:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge appreciated your kind thought in writing to Prince George on the occasion of his seventh birthday.
This was most thoughtful of you and greatly appreciated by Their Royal Highnesses who send you their best wishes.
