EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: First-class Queen Camilla uses second-class stamps to save the palace a small fortune

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 15, 2024
Queen Camilla has been doing her bit to economise. In an effort to cut the royal postage and stationery bill, as revealed here last month, she has jettisoned the traditional crested heavyweight envelopes. She likes to reply personally to as many letters as she can and always used envelopes embossed with the royal crest, sent out by £6 special delivery. Now her missives are dispatched in cheaper, unembossed envelopes and sent by normal second-class post. At 69p a pop, the palace's discounted business rate for second-class stamps, it saves a small fortune. A first-class Queen using second-class mail!
