The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with Prince George
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are sending thank you cards to everyone who sent well wishes about the birth of Prince George.
Prince William and his wife have been sending cards featuring a picture of them holding baby Prince George outside the London hospital where he was born.
Inside it reads: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were most touched that you took the trouble to write as you did on the occasion of the birth of their son Prince George.
"Their Royal Highnesses have been overwhelmed by all the wonderful messages they have received and send you their warmest thanks and best wishes."
One of the recipients of the cards was to Zoe Hall, who sent her greeting on the day the birth was announced, July 22, and received a reply exactly a month later.
She told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I sent the card the day the birth was announced in July and I am amazed I got a reply so quickly.
"I am absolutely thrilled and will definitely be getting it framed.
"I wanted to send a card as I was so excited about the announcement.
"After watching the Royal wedding and seeing their public appearances you start to feel part of their lives.
"It is nice they are recognising people's interest in them."
A royal spokesperson said everyone who wrote to the Duke and Duchess Catherine and included a return address will receive a thank you.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson added: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very grateful for the support and goodwill being expressed at this happy time, and wanted to acknowledge the letters and gifts they have received."
