Let’s face it, life’s been a whirlwind for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. With all the royal engagements, charity work, and adjusting to their new life together, it’s no wonder they’ve been a little behind on their wedding thank-you cards. The couple tied the knot back on May 19, and since July, they've been sending out that stunning black-and-white wedding portrait taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski. The image showcases the newlyweds standing outside St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, radiating joy and love.
Fans Receive Thank You Cards Months Later
But here’s where things get interesting. According to the Daily Mail, one fan recently shared that she just received her thank-you card—five whole months after the couple exchanged vows. The card included a heartfelt message: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been overwhelmed by all the incredibly kind cards and letters they have received on the occasion of their wedding. They are so touched that you took the time to write as you did. It really was most thoughtful of you and greatly appreciated by Their Royal Highnesses who send you their very best wishes." Talk about dedication to gratitude!
Behind the Scenes: Apologies for the Delay
Royal blogger Gertrude Daly, who runs the popular Gerts Royal Replies blog, revealed that her thank-you letter came with an additional note from Claudia Spens, the head of general correspondence. In the letter, Claudia expressed her apologies for the delay: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have asked me to thank you for your letter dated May 24th, and I must apologize for the delay in responding to you. As you can imagine, this has been an exceptionally busy time for their office, and we've been unable to reply as promptly as we would have liked." She went on to say, "It was so kind of you to take the time to write, and Their Royal Highnesses were deeply touched by your generous words of support."

The note wrapped up with this message: "Although unable to reply personally, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have asked me to convey their warmest thanks for your letter and their very best wishes." Now, that's what I call a royal apology!
Comparison to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank
Now, let’s compare this to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, who tied the knot on October 12. They wasted no time in sending out their handwritten thank-you cards, which arrived less than three weeks after their wedding. Their message read: "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so special and for thinking of us as we start our married life. We are completely overwhelmed with happiness. Eugenie + Jack." It seems like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could take a page from Eugenie and Jack’s book when it comes to speedy thank-you notes. Who wouldn't love a handwritten letter from any member of the royal family?
