Royally thrilled
May 10, 2020
I was absolutely thrilled recently to receive a personal letter from HRH The Queen in response to one I had previously sent.
She thanked me for my own letter and her copy of the Three Owls Newsletter which she had found interesting, also for the Eulogy I had recently written for a great friend who recently passed at the wonderful age of 99 years.
Given the turmoil that the world currently finds itself in, I was touched to receive any response, never mind such a kind and thoughtful personal letter.
