      Have you seen/heard of them giving responses? Even on similar blogs, I have yet to see a response from them. Thanks for responding.

      I've seen some over the years, and some recently.

      Rumors was that on the rare occasion they reply, they only replied to people in the UK. But I've seen recent replies from people outside the UK.

      I have written to Princess Anne a few times. I only received a reply for my first letter. It was one of the quickest replies I have ever gotten. The reply is on the blog, but I noticed it wasn't listed under the British Replies page, so I added it there.

      Yeah I've seen a bunch of people who have gotten Princess Charlotte's Birthday replies. And Clarence House has sent out replies for events since then. Given how long it's been, there's a chance your letter/ or the reply may have gotten lost in the mail. Or lost at their office.

      I never got a reply for Princess Charlotte's birthday either. I had written a letter for the Cambridge's 5th Anniversary and Princess Charlotte's 1st birthday, and the reply was just for the Cambridge's 5th Anniversary. So if they only quickly glanced at the letter, I can see how they missed the part about Charlotte's Birthday.

      That's great! Thank you ! I sent mine out a week before her birthday I forgot about it so I'm hoping they received it in time. I'm in NC and it usually takes around 7 days for mail to arrive in the UK from here.

      Hi Gert!
      It's Jer again! I just received my reply from Princess Anne today in the mail!! I'm so happy.
      I saw where you said in a comment above that you put all your replys in binders? Please can you tell me what kind of binders and do you use anything special in them like acid free stuff?? I'm wanting to start adding mine in one as well!
      Thanks,
      Jer

      Hey Jer,
      Nothing special. I just use normal binders that one might use for school or work and sheet protectors. I use tape to mark off where the different sections begin.

      Our school made some Royal Wedding cards. (25 ks2 girls chose this as a golden time activity). I posted them using track & trace on Tuesday 22 May, parcel signed for before 7am the next day. We received our replies today, they probably waited for the new school year to start. I had a reply letter, ALL the girls had a b/w wedding photo postcard with a beautiful message on the back. Each card in an individual envelope with their name. Hope you have your reply now?

    Do royals write back when your letter is about something different from birthday, christmas, aniversary etc.? Something about completely different case?

      It depends on who you write to. Each Royal Office is different about what they reply to. But I've gotten replies for illnesses, surgeries, pregnancy announcements, deaths, etc from some royals and not from others.

    Is it common to get every time an official answer from prince Harry? Five times for example? At that time he wasn't married yet. I was delighted to receive responses. Greetings from a lady from Holland.

    Hi! I saw some replies from prince Carl Philip of sweden. Do you think that was just a special reply for his 40th birthday or do you think the swedish royals are starting to answer regularly? Thanks

    1. Gert's Royals11 October 2019 at 06:44

      I don't think the Swedish royals are going to start reply regularly. And I don't think this is just because it's a milestone birthday. Because I've written for many big important events and not gotten anything.

      My suspicion has been for years that the Swedish Royals have cards they send out to their friends, charities, government officials, people related to their royal duties, and when they have extra leftover cards they send them out to well-wishers. That is why there is always a very long delay before people get their replies. The Palace is waiting until they sent out all the replies to the important people before sending the leftover cards to general well-wishers.

      What did you write for? And when did you write?

      Right now the British Royals are very behind on replying. I am still seeing replies being sent out for Queen Elizabeth's passing. So, it could be you just need to be patient.

      Also the British Royals don't reply for every occasion. It could be you wrote for something they don't normally reply for.

    It was back in October that I started to communicate with King Charles. I wrote a very polite letter from an elderly lady of nearly 80 years, married to an ex Serviceman who is very much a Royalist and I asked him if it was possible for him or his staff to try and just see what was going on in A & E putting elderly people in corridors , as well as others for days on end. I quite expected to receive a reply from a member of his staff , just acknowledging my letter and even saying he was in a position to reply, fair enough, if that is so I was ok with it. However to just be ignored for 10 months I think is terrible. I have since sent letters asking for a response to my earlier letter, and as I have said enclosing also a stamped and addressed envelope.

    I am not amused.

      I know something like that would not get handled by the regular correspondence section staff. It would get forwarded on to someone more senior. It could be that they are just very backlogged. I know they are still sending replies out for Queen Elizabeth's passing. So, they are almost a year backlogged..... Or it could be they are getting you message to someone who can actually address your issue. The wheels of bureaucracy move slowly.

      I will also say, I know the palace has a database that they keep information about people who write to them. So they would have your information about what you write stored there. And they will be able to see you wrote multiple letters.
