Queen Camilla has done her bit to save.
In an effort to reduce the actual postage and stationery bill, as revealed here last month, it has ditched the traditional heavy shield envelopes.
He likes to respond personally to as many letters as he can and always uses envelopes embossed with the royal coat of arms, sent by £6 special delivery.
Queen Camilla attends the Easter Mattins service at Windsor Castle. The Queen has recently cut back on her stationery in a bid to keep down the rising costs of the royal purse.
Queen Camilla has swapped her embossed stationery and special delivery for plain envelopes and 69p second-class stamps when sending her personal letters.
Now their letters are sent in cheaper, plain envelopes and by regular second-class mail.
At 69p each, the palace’s discounted commercial rate for second-class stamps, you save a small fortune. A first class Queen who uses second class mail!

Wilson informed him in advance of his resignation and gallantly scheduled the announcement for the same day that the Snowdon couple separated to soften its impact.
Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned. The royal separation flooded the news and Harold’s departure became third fiddle.
