I received this reply earlier this month from Belgium after I had written to King Philippe & Queen Mathilde for Christmas.
The envelope was the usual from the couple for Christmas. It matches the card, and is listed here #2B.
King Philippe & Queen Mathilde create a similar card each year. The front of the card features King Philippe & Queen Mathilde's joint Monogram. The F & P stand for the different spellings of King Philippe's name in the 3 official languages of Belgium:
- French: Philippe
- Dutch: Filip
- German: Philippe
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Philippe Mathilde
Elisabeth Gabriel Emmanuel Eleonore
2024
The right side shows a photo of the family. The photo was taken by Bas Bogaerts.
L-R: Princess Eleonore, Prince Gabriel, Queen Mathilde, King Philippe, Princess Elisabeth, Prince Emmanuel
The back of the card is blank except for a photo credit.
