This lovely reply arrived this week from Luxembourg. I had written to Prince Guillaume and Princess Stephanie to congratulate them on the birth of their son Prince François.
The front of the envelope is the usual from the Luxembourg Royals. the back however is different. This is the first time I've gotten an envelope with the couple's joint monogram. The monogram is embossed with Guillaume's G in blue and Stephanie's S in Orange.

Inside is a card, similar to the one for their older child, Prince Charles. The front of card features a drawing/painting by the same artist as Prince Charles's card. It features a baby lion. Lions are used on a lot of the Royal Family's coat of arms, flags, etc. François's name is written at the top with his date of birth at the bottom (The 27th March 2023).
The inside of the card features a photo of François and a typed message along with the couple's signatures printed on. The couple's signatures are the same as the one used for Prince Charles's birth reply.
But one interesting in is this reply is personalized with "Dear Miss Daly," handwritten.
The photo was taken a 2 days after François's birth by Céline Maia at StudioByC. François is being held by his father Prince Guillaume.
Dear Miss Daly,We thank you wholeheartedly for your kind attention on the occasion of the birth of our son, Prince François.Guillaume & Stephanie
