Scarce Princess Anne & Mark Phillips 1985 signed and dedicated Christmas Card

Description

Excellent 100% original ink hand signed and personalized 1985 Princess Anne and Capt. Mark Phillips Christmas card and envelope.
Princess Anne is not known to be a prolific royal signer of photographs or Christmas cards and having only been married to Mark Phillips for 16 years (1973-1989), their jointly signed Christmas cards are few and far between, and with the majority of their Christmas cards being autopen signed, their actual ink hand signed and personalized Christmas cards are even rarer, so I am pleased to offer this lovely ink hand signed and personalized 1985 Christmas card sent to a Mrs. Hazel, with the Princess Anne’s personal handwritten notation “ Mrs. Hazel, Very sorry not to have seen you at Wood Farm. Thank you for all your help “, from ( ink hand signed ) Mark. Anne.
The quality bi-fold 6¾ x 5
¼
inch Christmas card has the couples monogram, and entwined M & A embossed on the front, and on page 2 is the text “ With all Good Wishes for Christmas and the New Year “ long with Princess Anne’s handwritten notation to Mrs. Hazel and their signatures.
Page 3 has a lovely coloured photograph showing a snowy winter scene of Gatcombe Park, Princess Anne’s home in Gloucestershire which the Queen purchased for Princess Anne and Mark Phillips in 1976, and after their separation and divorce in 1989, Princess Anne remained at Gatcombe Park where she now lives with her second husband.
Also included in this listing is the Christmas card’s original envelope, addressed to Mrs. Hazel with her Norfolk address, which for privacy has been deleted from this listing, and is however shown in full on the buyer’s original. The envelope also has the oval ‘ Buckingham Palace S.W.1. Registered ‘ handstamp dated 17 DEC 1985 along with the Registered label No. 277783 and the Queen’s ‘ ER ‘ circular Royal Monogram Certifying Stamp used on all items of British Royal Family mail.
