Queen’s note: A short and sweet note written in hand by Queen Elizabeth II to her grandson, the Prince of Wales, has gone viral on social media nearly two months after her death.
The royal fan account ‘Real Royal Mail’ shared the image of the Queen’s handwritten note on Twitter and it was immediately lapped up by thousands of users. Written on Buckingham Palace stationary, the note was said to be given to Prince William at Christmas along with an advent calendar.
William I hope…
“‘William, I hope you enjoy opening this each day, Granny’- A card written in the hand of #QueenElizabethII & sent to the young #PrinceWilliam obviously along with an advent calendar. It was purchased from a former employee of #PrincessDiana,” the caption of the post read.
Soon after the note was shared, it garnered more than 3,700 likes and hundreds of retweets. In the comment section, one user wrote, “Aw I have never seen this!! They had such a lovely relationship”. Another said, “This should be returned to Prince William, it belongs to him. A personal memory of him.”
Private memories
Yet another user commented, “Should have been kept as one of William’s private memories,” while a fourth added, “Aawww how lovely. Beautiful, precious memory to treasure”.
The note is undated and was put up for auction in December 2016, according to The Daily Mail. At that time it was supposed to sell for 1,400 pounds.
The note was described as “a seldom-encountered piece of correspondence from within the royal family, enhanced by its fitting Christmas time association” by Robert Livingston, executive vice president at Boston-based RR Auction.
