A Mystery You Can Solve?

During the course of analysing my grandfathers First World War & Boer War papers, in amongst the bundle that my family have given to me is this intriguing postcard with the photograph of Queen Mary & King George.
I have copied the photograph and the written message that appears on the rear of the postcard which is written in Ink and looks like it was 'hand produced'.

That is the reason why it appears on this site.
Can anyone inform me by email (email@philbateman.com) if these were hand written by the sovereign? Or were they mass produced in some way?
Read about the Bateman Family History on this site, I hope that you enjoy reading about our history and the contribution that we all make to the community that we live in.
