At work, we were postulating that the Queen(and more specifically her secretaries) would answer almost every piece of mail that is received. Ringo Starr tried and failed at this feat, but Queenie would surely fare better(and is probably more adept at the sticks than Mr Starkey too). So, under the guise of an 8 year old parrallel of myself, I sent Lizzy a letter.
I accidentally spelled it 'Bunkingnam Palace' for added authenticity.
The text of the letter is as follows:
Dear Your Majesty,
My name is Gregory and I am 8 years old. I was born in England but my family moved to Germany. I live in Berlin with my Mum and Dad but I miss living in England so they told me I should write to you as you are the Queen of England and it will help me not to forget to still be English.
I know you have lots of corgis and I want a dog too. Are corgis a very English dog to have? I think I would like one or maybe a labrador. Hopefully I will be allowed to have a dog for Christmas. Are there special things that queens and kings get or do you just have normal stuff like everyone else?
I would really like you to write back so I can show my German friends at school that the queen has written to me and I think they will be impressed. I hope you have a good christmas and I have drawn you a christmas picture. Please write back!
Yours sincerely,
Gregory(aged 8)
Stirring stuff. Then I sent the letter to the best address in Britain:
I bet she forgets her address all the time.
And then we played the waiting game, although considering that the Queen is incredible I got my reply after just 12 days! Look!
The quality of the postmarks was befitting of royatly
And then the letter itself. Along with the letter was a special factsheet about the Queens animals, but I will be going into detailed analysis of that another time. Behold my new prized possession:
Dear Gregory(Handwritten)
The Queen wishes to thank you for your letter and for the Christmas picture whic hyou have drawn for Her Majesty.
The Queen thought it was kind of you to tell her that you and your parents now live in Germany, and that you miss your life in England.
Her Majesty was interested to see the questions you have asked and, although the Queen does not have time to personally reply to the hundreds of people who write to her each day, she was very glad to hear from you. I am enclosing a little information that you may like to see.
Her Majesty hopes that you will soon settle down and enjoy living in your new home, and that you and your parents have a very happy christmas.
Yours sincerely,
Richenda Elton
Lady in Waiting
All you dark hearted republicans be gone. Long live the Queen.
