A 6 year old schoolgirl who invited the Queen to her
birthday party got a delightful response. Melissa Poll
made a card for the Queen congratulating her on
becoming the longest reigning monarch- but
complained that she hadn’t been allowed into
Buckingham Palace. The 6 year old and her little sister recently visited
Buckingham Palace on a family trip, but because
of an ongoing strike there was no time to queue up to
get inside. So she wrote to the Queen explaining she was
disappointed she could not go inside the palace and
also invited the monarch to her birthday party which
will take place this month.
It was posted to Buckingham Palace and within a few
days Melissa received a response from the Queen’s
lady-in-waiting, reports the Manchester Evening
News. The letter personally thanked Melissa for the card and
included an apology she could not attend the birthday
party.
It read:
“The Queen wishes me to write and
thank you for your letter in which you tell Her
Majesty about your disappointment at not
being able to tour the State Apartments at
Buckingham Palace.
“Her Majesty was sorry to hear that you and
your grandmother tried twice to see inside the
palace and that, for various reasons, you
were unlucky.”
“Although unable to come to your birthday
party, the Queen greatly appreciated your
kind thought for her, and I hope you have a
lovely time with your family and friends on
September 27.
“I am to thank you too for your kind thought
in writing about the forthcoming splendid
milestone in Her Majesty’s reign.”
