King Carl Gustaf of Sweden - Golden Jubilee Reply (2023)

I received this reply a while ago from Sweden. I had written to King Carl Gustaf in September to congratulate him on his Golden Jubilee. I have not received a reply from Sweden in a few years. So, this was a special treat. 

The front of the envelope is the usual from the Swedish Royals, with the Coat of Arms of Sweden, with  "Royal Court" written underneath. 

The back of the envelope features one of King Carl Gustaf's Golden Jubilee Logo. 


Inside is a folded card. The front of the cards features another version of the King Carl Gustaf's Golden Jubilee Logo. The first line is King Carl Gustaf's cypher: C & G for Carl Gustaf, XVI as he is the 16th King Carl/Karl/Charles of Sweden. The 2nd and 3rd line say "Jubilee 50 Years" in Swedish. 

The inside of the card features a photo of King Carl Gustaf along with a message and printed on signature. The photo was taken in 2022 by Thron Ullberg in the Hall of State at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. This room is where King Carl Gustaf's enthronement ceremony took place in September 1973.


The card says: 
The Royal Palace, Stockholm, 2023

 

My sincerest gratitude to you for the kind greetings sent to me in connection with Jubilee. 
Carl Gustaf
