King "touched" by children's letters following Royal Visit

Monday 28 October 2024

The King was "touched" by the letters from Jersey children written to mark the Royal Visit earlier this year, Buckingham Palace has revealed.

On behalf of His Majesty, the Palace expressed sincere thanks for the hundreds of "splendid messages and illustrated drawings" that were sent by Jersey Post in July.

A 'Write to the King' post box was placed in Jersey Library and multiple schools and community groups sent letters and pictures to Buckingham Palace.

Pictured: Local children wrote to King Charles and Queen Camilla after their visit this summer.

Sent by the Head of Royal Correspondence on behalf of King Charles, the letter read: “It was so kind of you to take the trouble to write as you did.

"The King was touched to see your thoughtful letters of support following Their Majesties recent visit to Jersey, and greatly appreciated the care with which you created your artwork,” the letter added.

"Thank you, once again, for thinking of the King and The Queen who have asked me to send their warmest good wishes to you all."
