Sent a letter to Her Majesty The Queen on January 5th, 2015. On March 9th, 2015 I received a beautiful two-sided photo from Queen Elizabeth’s assistant.  I couldn’t have been more excited.

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; Born 21 April 1926) is the Queen of 16 of the 53 member states in the Commonwealth of Nations. She is Head of the Commonwealth and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Elizabeth was born in London and educated privately at home. Her father acceded to the throne as George VI on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII in 1936, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War. In 1947, she married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, with whom she has four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward.

My Story:

Okay people this is Queen Elizabeth.  I named my daughter after her for heaven sakes.  Who doesn’t love the royal family?  Who doesn’t wish they could be Queen for a day? Wish we all behaved as the Royal family is required to every day.  The manners they exhibit, the proper etiquette used in every aspect of their lives, constantly trying to help those in need.  The queen embodies truth, justice, mercy, empathy, and fairness all in one. She is virtuous and strong and sticks to what she knows is right. She is not petty, selfish or manipulative.

While I did not get a response directly from the Queen, I truly couldn’t be more excited to have this beautiful double-sided photo of her.  The odds of me ever going to the UK to experience all that it has to offer are slim to none.  I am beyond thrilled to have this keepsake of Queen Elizabeth.
