One of the most beautiful royal cards of 2024

-

Readers of this blog know that I love writing to royal families across Europe and beyond. From time to time, I receive amazing royal replies. One of my favorites in 2024 was, without a doubt, the portrait I received from Queen Letizia of Spain.



Queen Letizia celebrates her birthday on September 15. She was born in 1972 in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain.

I sent a card on September 2, 2024, along with several others. To be honest, I only received a reply from her and Queen Paola of Belgium.


Along with the card, I also received a very nice letter from a Spanish courtier.



Of course, this is one of my most treasured royal replies of 2024! I hope you enjoyed this short blog post. I love sharing my royal collection with you online!








Which is your favourite royal card of 2024?
