Nope that's her signature alright!

I don't understand why Buckingham Palace would be her address if she is no longer a member of the family.

Yeah when I saw the envelope with the Green S and Crown and the handwriting I thought Sarah wrote it, then saw it was signed by a secretary. I thought maybe she did the secretary thing too...but surely not. Although it wasnt returned from The Buckingham Palace office.
But thats the thing to Buckingham Palace is her office and where to write but I dont think she has set foot in there since the whole York family waited outside when Princess Dianas casket went by.

I'll admit this is so strange to me! Little things make me think it is authentic; for example in the 'wishes' in both she starts the 's' from above the 'i' (if that makes sense). It is really weird how similar the writing is to both the secretary and her though... If I were shown these 3 items and didn't know what they were, I would assume Sarah was signing her secretary's name to... But that makes no sense whatsoever lol.

I was helping getting some auction items for a charity event and decided to write to The Duchess of York as I know she has been a good signer TTM. I have also met her several times. Although her signature seems close to the in-person autographs I have. It did surprised me that the writing also looked like her assistants writing that addressed and signed the return letter and the larger photo print of a photograph taken by the Duchess. In not one of my 20 in person books or photos does she use a capitol R in York or anywhere else....Any thoughts as we do not wish to auction of a secretarial.

But then again the raised C in duchess of my in person signature matches her secretaries..... lol Maybe she is her own secretary....
