I received this reply today from the UK. In the past, I have always written to King Charles & Queen Camilla together for Christmas. As I think it makes sense to write to couples, not each individually. But since Charles & Camilla often have their own reply, I wrote to them separately for Christmas last year.
The envelope was an oversize blank envelope. But features the usual postmark from the Court Post Office at Buckingham Palace.
The inside is the usual large photo card from Queen Camilla. The front of the card features a photo of Camilla at the launches the "Coronation Libraries" Initiative at Shirehampton Primary School, on May 18, 2023. The photo was taken by Chris Jackson.
The book Queen Camilla is holding is "Horrible Henry" written by Francesca Simon and illustrated by Tony Ross. Simon was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to literature.
The back of the card features Queen Camilla's Cypher, a "C" for Camilla long with a "R" for Regina (Queen in Latin). The signature is auto-penned and is identical to the signature on the reply I received for Camilla's birthday in 2023.
The card says:
Thank you very much for your Christmas message.
This comes with my warmest wishes for a healthy and happy New Year.
Camilla R
I would assume this card was designed before King Charles's health issues.
